 Hi, please read the weblinks I provide here below. I think that you do in fact need to go to your doctor, as the use of steroids does have side effects and this may be part of your impotence. Your doctor should know about this, as he or she can then do some tests to see what is causing the impotence. It may not be related to the steroids, so you should go and find out.
Of course it's not a silly reason to see the doctor; it's a very good reason because it highlights that something is wrong inside your body. Finding out what it is makes more sense to me than just flailing around looking for answers on the internet. We cannot tell you if you have high blood pressure, or diabetes or some other hidden condition that is causing the impotence. Your doctor can.
So be a real big boy, and make that appointment. Don't worry, you're not the first person to use anabolic steroids and you're certainly not the first man to have problems with impotence.

 I have heard before that people get 'performance problems' when they have taken steroids. But best thing is to go to your docs, or failing that, have a nose on google. Not always totally reliable, but you will know reputable sites if you do your research.

Were you cycling the use of them as you should have done if you were using them responsibly, or have you been taking them without a break?
I don't think there is any doubt about it, you need to go and see a GP and tell them what what you've been taking and what your symptoms are. You are far too young to be suffering from things such as erectile dysfunction or high blood pressure.
Good luck and hope you haven't done any permanent damage -
Take care of your body, and it will take care of you.

 From what I've heard, steriods were adding testosterone to your system which would cause your testicles to shrink because they didn't need to produce any more for you body.
I never heard of it being an hard-on problem. Although if testosterone is needed for a hard-on and that you testicles doesn't produce as much anymore it could be the reason why. But I don't know.
You may think it's silly to ask that to a doctor, but he won't. It's his job. If you do have a problem, I suggest that you go because it may get worse over time.
