WHAT IS ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION (ED)?

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is commonly defined as the inability to achieve and/or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual intercourse. It is only a problem when you regularly have difficulty—often to the extent that you’re avoiding contact with your partner.

COMMON CAUSES OF ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION (ED)

Diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol are common causes of erectile dysfunction (ED). And even a perfectly healthy male can have Erectile Dysfunction (ED) as the side effect of some medications. Erectile Dysfunction (ED)

About 90% of the cases of Erectile Dysfunction (ED) that medical doctors see are caused by physical factors usually classified as vascular (related to blood flow) and non-vascular diseases. It is estimated that 70% of all Erectile Dysfunction (ED) cases may be attributable to vascular diseases alone.

A man’s penis requires a healthy blood flow to become completely erect, and even a marginal reduction in blood flow can potentially cause problems. This condition is referred to as a vascular insufficiency and is known to be caused by the following factors:

  • Diabetes
  • Hypertension
  • High Blood Cholesterol
  • Cardiac diseases
  • Smoking
  • Poor overall blood circulation
