Erectile Dysfunction

Drpaulcozzi29 Sep, 2021Health

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the inability of a man to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for his sexual needs or the needs of his partner. Most men experience this at some point in their lives and are not psychologically affected by it. Some men, however, experience chronic, complete erectile dysfunction, and others, partial or brief erections. Frequent erectile dysfunction can cause emotional and relationship problems, and often leads to diminished self-esteem. Erectile dysfunction has many causes, most of which are treatable, and is not an inevitable consequence of ageing. It is important to distinguish ED from other forms of sexual problems. Conditions such as a low libido (sex drive), premature ejaculation, or the inability to achieve an orgasm, can also occur and may require medical attention.
