WHAT IS ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION?
Erectile dysfunction, commonly referred to as ED, is defined as the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual intercourse. While it is common for men to experience occasional difficulty with erections, persistent ED can significantly impact a man’s self-esteem, relationships and overall quality of life. ED becomes more prevalent with age, but it is not an inevitable part of ageing. It can affect men of all ages and is often a sign of an underlying medical condition that requires attention. Fortunately, with the right treatment, most men can regain their sexual function and performance.
