I spent all day at my desk, so it made sense. - [How I Overcame ED and Became a Dad at 30](https://www.mansmatters.co.uk/case-study/how-i-overcame-ed-became-a-dad-at-30/): I am a 30 years old. Although I was born in England I am from a traditional Bangladeshi family and so is my wife. I started suffering symptoms of erectile dysfunction a few years back and noticed an increasing decline. First it didn’t bother me, and I took Viagra from my GP. I also tried a number of herbal remedies from Bangladesh. Later on, I saw a private Urologist, who suggested that it was more in my mind. But at the time, I didn’t have any real pressures. As time progressed, I had a sinking feeling that my ED was getting worse, nothing I tried seemed to help and I was in denial. Unlike other conditions, Erectile Dysfunction is not something you can talk about with friends, so I guess I just bottled it up.
