Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for sexual activity. It can result from various factors, including age, lifestyle, and underlying health conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or hormonal imbalances. ED is treatable at any age, and many men return to normal sexual activity with appropriate treatment.

Causes of ED:

Age: Natural decline in bodily functions and testosterone.
Decreased Blood Flow: Affects erection quality.
Diabetes: Damages nerves and blood vessels, impacting erections.
Hypertension: Affects blood vessels, impacting erections.
Pelvic Surgery: Can damage nerves and blood vessels.
Spinal Cord Injury/Neurological Disorders: Disrupts nerve pathways necessary for erections.
Hormonal Imbalances: Low testosterone or high prolactin affects libido.
Depression/Psychological Issues: Reduces sex drive or worsens ED.
Smoking/Alcohol/Drug Abuse: Constricts blood vessels and damages nerves.

Symptoms:

Inability to achieve or maintain an erection.
Problems with ejaculation and orgasm.

Treatment:

Discuss with your partner to maintain open communication.

Consider lifestyle changes like quitting smoking, reducing alcohol intake, and managing stress.

Prevention:

Follow your doctor’s treatment for health conditions.
Limit alcohol and quit smoking.

When to See a Doctor:

If ED is persistent and causing distress, seek medical evaluation for proper treatment.
