A multidisciplinary approach could be advantageous in gaining a deeper understanding of your situation.

They can accompany individuals or couples dealing with problems or changes in the sexual aspects of their lives, including permanent erectile dysfunction. Their expertise is invaluable when faced with this new reality, and they can assist you in exploring solutions to enhance the quality of your sex life.
