What is erectile dysfunction?
Erectile dysfunction (ED), also known as impotence, is the inability to get and keep an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse. It's important to understand that having occasional erection troubles is not necessarily a cause for concern. However, if ED occurs frequently and interferes with sexual activity, it can significantly impact quality of life.
Erectile dysfunction can have psychological and physical causes. Psychological factors like stress, anxiety, and depression can negatively affect sexual functioning. Physical causes often include chronic illnesses like diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and heart disease. Lifestyle factors like smoking, alcohol use, lack of exercise, and poor diet can also contribute to ED.
Some key facts about erectile dysfunction:
- ED becomes more common with age, but it is not a normal part of aging. Around 5% of men under 40 have ED, rising to 15-25% of men age 65 and older.
- There are many effective treatments for ED, so it is important to see a doctor. Treatment options include medications like Viagra, testosterone therapy, penile injections, vacuum devices, and more.
- ED may cause mental stress for both partners. Open communication is important for working through challenges. Relationship counseling or sex therapy can help.
- Identifying and treating any underlying conditions can improve overall health and reverse ED. Lifestyle changes like quitting smoking, losing weight, and increasing physical activity are often recommended.
