Hi all, as a result of a large tumour in my pelvic region,I have ED and have been told I will need to take pills in order to achieve an erection. This worries me, as I lost my wife to cancer 5 years ago and now just when I want to go out and start a new partnership I get hit with this. I am struggling to get my mind around what it means and how to move forward. How does one find a partner when they can't show any signs of excitement? I know it there are women that would accept it, but they don't exactly walk around with signs on their heads.

When the Doctors removed the tumour they also did a vasecotmy which at my age (57) may not seem like a big thing, but I didn't make that decision and kinda feel cheated, another small thing running around on my head.

I have been give viagra and cialis to try so some advice as to what works best would help.

Erectile dysfunction is one of the most common sexual disorders, which affects men of all age groups. It’s the inability to get or maintain an erection for sexual intercourse, which is due to the restricted blood flow. Men can have erection problems due to physical or psychological reasons. These include diabetes, heart disease, Parkinson’s disease, obesity, metabolic syndrome, anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship problems. Before you try any ED treatment, it’s necessary to learn what’s causing the problem. For that, you should consult with a specialist doctor.

The first step in talking your concerns about ED is to be true with yourself, your partner, and your doctor. Once ED has been conveyed out into the open,
coping with it as you go through cure will be easier and less stressful.

Communication is important to a successful analysis and treatment, as well as, helping your partner recognize your feelings.

While you are being treated for ED, it is vital to be patient with your growth and keep in mind that everyone is different and that a cure that might work for one person may not work or be suitable for you.

It is also important to know that the treatment you take may not work the initially or may not work every time. At least 90% of the time ED is caused by physical conditions such as diabetes or outlying vascular disease or neurological conditions.

Thanks for the reply, Yes i have discovered that the drugs don't work , well not at the moment. But considering the operation I had and the long recovery I am hopeful that will change, given time. Communication is important I have just started a relationship and told her about me operation and ED and she still accepted me. Which has helped my mental state no end.
Only disappointment is that there seems to me no support network for sufferers of ED in my local City. Best help I got was from a mate who is a wheel chair.

Its absolutely normal if u have Ed. but if ur getting this at early stages like at age of 20's and 30's then u should consider this its not normal at very young age u should not deal with it. 50's 60's its accepted ur dealing with Ed.

A stresfull and unbalanced life of some kind of disease leads to ED. a healthy checkup is important periodically

Most manufacturers of Kamagra ( https://www.pillsuk.com/kamagra.aspx) recommend that you take the drug about 60 minutes before sexual activity in order to give it time to begin working. Regardless of the specific medication you use, it's best to take your ED medication about one hour before you plan to have sex

Keep working with your Doctor to fix your own problem.
