Problem Maintaining Erection. History Of Bad Lower Back, Healthy Sexual Life. No Other Medical Issues. Any Medication?

I am a healthy, 43 year old man. I live a very active lifestyle and have been, up to this point, very sexually active with my wife. I am now experiencing problems maintaining an erection, mostly while on my back. I have not had any medical issues other then a pretty bad lower back from time spent in the military. Is this something I should go see my doc about or is there something over the counter I can take?

Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail.
Erectile dysfunction is very common at the age of around 43 years and the most common cause is psychological. You should see a psychiatrist/sexologist who would like to evaluate you in detail. Manytimes depression or anxiety can lead to this kind of problem. Further tadalafil can be good for you to relieve this symptom temporarily.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
