Erectile dysfunction, or ED, is the medical term for difficulties achieving and keeping an erection. It is a sexual health problem that affects about 30 million men in the United States alone. Over 50% of men over 40 experience ED. Studies have shown that most ED is caused by physical health problems. These problems are most commonly high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes. ED can also be associated with things like smoking or stress.

Talk to your doctor. He/she is the only person that can tell you if you really suffer from ED.

There are many causes of ED. One should not be shy talking about it with his doctor. Many effective treatments are available. First, one should try to find out the cause of ED and then suitable treatment can be devised. The GP may refer to an expert on ED if necessary. Read about ED.
