Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile Dysfunction

The inability to obtain and maintain a hard adequate erection for intercourse is referred to as erectile dysfunction (impotence). Having erection issues now and then isn’t usually a cause for alarm. However, if erectile dysfunction is a long-term condition, it can create stress, lower self-esteem, and lead to interpersonal issues. Problems obtaining or maintaining an erection can be a symptom of a more serious underlying health condition, as well as a risk factor for heart disease.

Even if you’re ashamed, go to your doctor if you’re concerned about erectile dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction can sometimes be reversed simply by treating the underlying disease. In some circumstances, drugs or other forms of direct treatment are required.
