I'm a 23-year-old student and lately, I've noticed that I'm struggling with erectile dysfunction. It's been a concern for me since last year. I don't know if it's related, but I do drink beer about three times a week. Could this be affecting me? I'm really looking for some advice on what steps I should take next.
