Erectile Dysfunction

Details:

Erectile dysfunction or ED for short is also known as sexual impotence and is a common sexual health issue experienced by many men between the age of 40 to 70 years of age.

Though the risk of experiencing erectile dysfunction increases with age, it is still possible for younger men to experience it.

Also, having this issue can be stressful and frustrating, and even leave a negative impact on a man’s self-confidence and self-esteem.

What are the Symptoms of Erectile Dysfunction?

When a man is aroused or having sexual intercourse, the brain will send signals to the nerves in his reproductive organ, which increases blood flow to the penis.

However, erectile dysfunction happens when there is limited blood flow in the penis, which causes it to be unable to erect or keep erect.

Loss of sensitivity in the penis can also cause erectile dysfunction and make it more difficult for a man to reach orgasm during sex.

Another common symptom of erectile dysfunction is reduced sexual desire, which can affect relationships and lead to unfulfilling sex life.

Possible Factors that Can Contribute to Erectile Dysfunction

Lifestyle and health can influence a man’s sexual well-being and there are several possible factors that can increase the risk of experiencing erectile dysfunction.

  • Health problems (heart problems, diabetes)
  • Drug abuse
  • Alcohol consumption
  • Obesity
  • Smoking
