Erectile dysfunction (ED)

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the inability to form or maintain an adequate erection for sexual intercourse. While occasional ED is not uncommon and is frequently associated with stress or recent lifestyle changes, persistent ED can signal underlying health issues that require care. It may also indicate mental or relational problems that require expert help. Nowadays, the term impotence" is rarely used to characterise erectile dysfunction. Seeking medical advice is critical for a thorough evaluation and effective ED management including physical and mental components.
