Erectile Dysfunction in Numbers

If your partner continually experiences erection problems, it’s important for you to be calm and avoid jumping to conclusions prematurely.
In order to know whether or not your partner is suffering from erectile dysfunction, you can try to assess the situation by checking to see if he has any of the following symptoms:
– He has difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection at least once in every four times that you attempt sexual intercourse, or this persists for longer than a month.
– He takes longer than normal to achieve an erection, or this is more difficult for him in certain positions.
– His erections aren’t as hard as they used to be.
– Maintaining an erection requires him to make a conscious effort.
– His morning erections are less frequent or weaker.
– He ejaculates quickly or without a full erection.
If he is experiencing any of these symptoms we suggest that you talk to him, and that together you arrange a visit to one of our clinics in order to receive a detailed diagnosis of what is happening.

Remember that erectile dysfunction affects only the erection, making it more difficult to achieve or maintain, and not sex drive.
Therefore, do not blame yourself, or think that perhaps your partner doesn’t feel sexual desire towards you. If he is avoiding sex, it’s likely to be to avoid the embarrassment of not being able to perform.
Erectile dysfunction is more common than it may seem to be.

Revita Medical can advise you about how to face the problem which both you and your partner are experiencing.

The first time you contact our patient helpline (1 888 408 9178), our advisors will guide you in everything you need to know and will give you all the necessary information about our clinics so that you can arrange your first visit to see our medical professionals.

From this point onwards, our doctors, professionals who specialize in the field of erectile dysfunction, will work with you personally and confidentially to make a diagnosis and choose the best treatment for your particular situation.

Knowing that he suffers from erectile dysfunction can make your partner more sensitive, so don’t be surprised if his self-esteem decreases, he feels frustrated or discouraged, or finds it difficult to talk about.

Whatever his reaction, try to be as understanding as possible.

In this way you can avoid creating any emotional distance between you, something which happens frequently in these situations.

Help him to accept the problem:

Often, the topic is not addressed without the help of the woman, so don’t be afraid to start up the conversation.

If you talk about it in a natural way, playing down its importance, you will help him to face the problem head on, and to avoid worrying more than necessary.

Make sure he has all the information possible about the topic so he understands that it is something common among men, and especially, that there is a solution.

Go with him to the doctor:

Your partner must understand that without the help of a doctor it is impossible to solve the problem. Tell him that you’re willing to go with him and support him through the treatment. Sharing this experience will unite you as a couple, which is key to overcoming the process, and will help you a great deal in your sex life.

The problem is shared:

You need to let him know that the problem involves both of you, since you both have your sex life affected, and that you should find the solution together.

If he sees that he can rely on you, and that he is not alone, he will feel more comfortable beginning the treatment.

Although it may be a sensitive subject, and difficult to talk to your partner and reach an agreement, it’s important to remember that if the problem is not treated, it will get worse over time. That’s why it’s vital that you go to the doctor as soon as possible.
