I've been dealing with weak erections lately and can't maintain them for long periods, which has been really knocking my confidence and impacting my relationship. I'm not sure what steps to take next. Should I see a cardiologist or a urologist? Sometimes I have morning erections, but they're not as firm as I would like. I don't smoke or drink, and I'm 23. What could be going on here?
