ED is treatable

It’s important that your partner understands that ED is treatable.

Get him to talk to his doctor to discuss the treatment options available. If he feels awkward approaching his doctor about ED, click here to get help on conversation starters and a referral letter.

A list of healthcare physicians with experience in treating ED is also provided.


Getting close again

If you haven’t had sex in a little while, keep in mind that your partner may be nervous.

It may take a few tries before you see results. That’s why it’s important not to give up just because it doesn’t work the first time.

If your partner still does not get the results he hoped for, make sure he speaks to his doctor to review the treatment option.


Get him in the mood

When using these treatments, your partner must first be sexually excited to get an erection. Nothing will happen if he is not sexually stimulated.

Help your partner get results. Make him feel comfortable about having sex again. Try talking about the issue and be supportive of his desire to improve his sex life.

Also, take your time when it comes to sex. Your partner may have better success if he is relaxed. Spend some time just being close together.
