Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance. It is a common condition that affects men of all ages but becomes increasingly prevalent with age.
Causes of ED can be psychological, physical, or a combination of both. Common physical causes include cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hypertension, hormonal imbalances, and side effects from certain medications. Psychological factors may include stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues.
Treatment options for ED are varied and can include lifestyle changes, oral medications like phosphodiesterase inhibitors (e.g., Viagra, Cialis), hormone therapy, vacuum erection devices, penile injections, and surgical implants.
Addressing underlying health conditions and adopting a healthy lifestyle can significantly improve erectile function. Consulting a healthcare professional is essential for a proper diagnosis and to determine the most appropriate treatment plan.
