What is erectile dysfunction?

How common is erectile dysfunction?

Approximately 1 in 5 men over the age of 40 are estimated to experience erection problems, and about 1 in 10 men are unable to have erections. The likelihood of experiencing erectile dysfunction increases with age.

What are the causes of erectile dysfunction?

Erectile dysfunction can have both physical and psychological causes, often a combination of the two. In some cases, the cause may not be clear.

Physical factors that can contribute to erectile dysfunction include aging, nerve-related health problems (such as spinal cord injury or neurological conditions like Parkinson's or Alzheimer's disease), reduced blood flow to the penis (due to conditions like atherosclerosis), and various health conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, cardiovascular disease, obesity, or sleep disorders.

Certain medications, alcohol, smoking, and substance abuse can also play a role. Psychological factors, such as unresolved relationship issues, anxiety about sexual performance, stress, or mental health problems like depression, can contribute to erectile dysfunction as well.

When should I speak to a doctor?

If you experience ongoing erection problems, it is advisable to speak to a doctor. Early intervention and management can prevent or delay the progression of erectile dysfunction and address any worsening problems.

A doctor can treat underlying conditions that may be causing the issue, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. They can also help you address lifestyle factors and, where appropriate, suggest medication options.

Erectile dysfunction, also known as impotence, refers to the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for sexual intercourse. It is a common issue that many men experience at some point in their lives.
