How can I help my husband with erectile dysfunction?

I apologise if this is a little tmi but I don’t know what to do. He has only very recently discussed it with me but I’ve been aware of it for over a year now. He doesn’t want to go to a doctor because he’s embarrassed or doesn’t know what to say. Is there anything I can do to get him help? It’s going to come between us if he doesn’t do anything about it. He’s only 35. It breaks my heart because he said to me he feels less of a man. Anything I say just seems to make him feel worse so at the minute I am just working around him in the bedroom which is fine but it’s starting to get me down too.

It's important that he sees a doctor, it could be related to other conditions or medication. The GP would have already seen it all so need to be embarrassed.

Sorry I should have said: The GP would have already have seen it all before, so no need to be embarrassed.

You can get Viagra otc I think.

Also try googling sensate focus.

I’ve already said all this to him and he still doesn’t want to go. Update: he wet himself a few times this year and has serious pains when he doesnt pee immediately, I’m very concerned...

He needs to go to the doctor, definitely.

He must go to the doctor, especially because of the wetting himself/pain issue. He is very young to have ED and it could well be that something else is going on.

Posted to soon,

What about a sexual health clinic, they do loads of didn’t test there now
And the dr will be clued up on things like your dh, he doesn’t need to go to one in your area if he’s scared of bumping into someone he knows
You can go to any.

Thanks so much for being understanding and all your helpful answers. I will put it to him. Fingers crossed.
