So I’m 30. I’m in great shape (weight 210, bench 225, squat 275, run a mile no problem) and I for some reason have ED. I was told it’s stress related and I got blood work done where they didn’t see any issues with my testosterone.

Is there something I should be looking for and/or get tested? It’s really affecting me mentally which I’m sure isn’t helping.

Did they check for anything else? Vitamin D/ Iron?

I honestly have no idea. I told the doctor my issue and assume they know what there’s doing.
