Does my husband need viagra? - Sexual Dysfunction Treatment Message Board

Hi all,

My husband is in the process of starting up his own company and it's not going too well. He's stressed out and started having problems with erections. He's only 35 years old and it was only a few weeks he couldn't "get it up". I was shocked that our doctor prescribed viagra for him. Isn't he too young and his problerms are related to stress! I think the doc was wrong and I'm worried about him being on it. Any advice?

Thanks,
Deana

Sounds like your husbands needs less stress not viagra. Stress certainly makes me lose my sex drive!! Hope this helps!

Why his doctor prescribed viagra is based entirely on what your husband said to him. Perhaps he said it was an on going problem.

At any rate, viagra is a fairly safe drug so there is no worry in the short term about that. If he continues to need it, well then you should start suspecting something else, like diabetes, heart disease or low testosterone.
