Erectile dysfunction increases with age. Its causes are many, including psychological and physical: Depression, alcoholism, obesity, diabetes, and lack of exercise are some contributing factors. A medical evaluation with identification of your underlying causes is your best bet to correct it.
If you are a male, after 40, your testosterone levels begin to drop. I recommend you check with your PCP, check your total testosterone, and the free testosterone levels. If your PCP does not feel comfortable managing this prescription, get a referral to see your urologist. If you want to do lifestyle changes, change your diet, do daily exercise, cardio exercises daily to increase your stamina. Decrease alcohol intake and stop smoking, if you still do. All these changes will improve your testosterone levels and your ED.

Yo should talk with your urologist because the etiology of the condition may be related to several causes, including blood flow problems to your penis, metabolic, endocrine, or even physiological reasons, for example smoking, diabetes, lack of testosterone, and stress.
