Why Me? |
Sexual difficulties stem from many causes and often there are several factors contributing to the problem.
Physical illness, anxiety and relationship breakdown can all be contributing factors.
A number of drugs prescribed for common medical conditions can also be a contributory factor. However, it is important to assess these drugs individually and not to simply stop them without medical advice.
Age is unimportant in deciding whether or not to seek help, it is what you feel that is important.
We have experience in working with individuals who are currently alone but are concerned about sexual problems affecting a future relationship.

Erectile dysfunction (Impotence) |
Erectile dysfunction is a common problem which occurs more frequently with advancing age, affecting around one in six men at the age of fifty.
If you and your partner wish to enjoy a loving, sexual relationship, you do not have to accept erectile dysfunction as inevitable. Whatever the cause of it, effective treatment for ED can be provided. 90% of men will respond to simple treatment prescribed at the clinic. |
