Impotence & Erectile Dysfunction Support Group
Erectile dysfunction or impotence is a sexual dysfunction characterized by the inability to develop or maintain an erection of the penis for satisfactory sexual intercourse regardless of the capability of ejaculation. There are various underlying causes, such as diabetes, many of which are medically reversible. The causes may be physiological or psychological.
Remember that ED is a medical problem. There are many causes, and sometimes it's a symptom of a serious underlying medical condition. It's important for your husband to talk to his doctor, to find the underlying cause, and to get appropriate treatment. This is especially true for young men, since ED is unusual for men under 40.
Here's what your husband can expect when he sees his doctor:

Usually, the doctor will prescribed an oral medication like Viagra or Cialis. If this doesn't help, ask for a referral to a urologist or men's health specialist.
Pills such as viagra are more of a temporary cover-up rather than a cure in my opinion.
From personal experience, I can tell that even a bunch of expensive tests does not necessarily mean you will get a proper diagnosis :(
Based on my own experience I decided to try and help other patients by addressing the problem of difficult diagnosis:
I am currently working on a project that aims to make diagnosing the cause for ED faster and cheaper for the patient. In order to better understand the need of patients I set up a short anonymous google form.
Any feedback about your experience with ED would be much appreciated and could help other patients!

Injections are pretty awesome and are not hard to do... painless. Trimix can be bought affordably at a local compounding pharmacy near you. I suggest you call a compounding pharmacy that makes trimix and ask them for referrals of doctors who prescribe it.
at least 8 years. My last order of 88 tablets of 100mg generic Viagra was less than $45 and 90 tablets of 20mg generic Cialis was less than $40. I'm open to better deals though but pretty happy with what I'm getting now.
