Erectile Dysfunction In Men Overview

Erectile dysfunction (impotence) is the inability to achieve and maintain an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse. You have erection problems from time to time is not necessarily a cause for concern. But if erectile dysfunction is a constant problem, can cause stress, relationship problems cause or affect your confidence.

While this may seem strange to talk to your doctor about erectile dysfunction, go to an evaluation. Problems getting or maintaining an erection can be a sign of a medical condition that requires treatment, such as heart disease or poorly controlled diabetes. Treatment of an underlying problem may be enough to reverse erectile dysfunction.

If treating the underlying disease does not help your erectile dysfunction, medications or other treatments may work directly.
