In case you feel that Erectile Dysfunction has struck you, check out the following signs, and meet a doctor at the earliest:
Poor quality intercourse
Although you may get an erection during sexual intercourse, if it is consistently too soft or too brief for sex, then you may still have erectile dysfunction.
No sex with your partner
If you are unable to get an erection while having sex with your partner, but you do get it by masturbating solo, it is a sign of erectile dysfunction. It could be a reason for stress.
Night-time activity
There could be an experience of many erections during the night, which may lead to ED. Many studies recommend a ‘postal stamp test’ to rule out the nocturnal activity. A ring of stamps are attached to the penis at night, if the ring is broken by morning, it indicates penis function during the night, which is a result of psychological-related erectile dysfunction.
Over-usage of viagra

Continuous usage can create dependency issues and thus increase the risk of psychological related Erectile Dysfunction.
Diabetes

diabetes patients experience problems 10 to 15 years earlier than normal people with an increase in the likelihood of suffering from Erectile Dysfunction in old age.
