Dear Lee: Impotence has many causes. The most common cause in someone your age is often psychological issues. Some diseases may have impotence as a symptom as well. These include Peyronie disease, trauma that affects arteries and nerves and some medications. It can be very distressing for a young male when he is unable to have or maintain an erection. You should speak privately with a physician you are comfortable with about your problems. Your doctor will take a detailed history and perform a thorough examination to determine why you are having problems with your erection.
