It is the inability to consistently initiate or maintain an erection long enough to have satisfactory sex. The most common causes of ED are health problems that affect the blood vessels and obstruct blood flow to the penis. These include hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis), which is
Linked to diabetes, obesity, smoking, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Therefore, ED can be a sign of heart disease or other serious health problems.
ED can occur at any age but is more common in men over the age of 65. Around two and a half million men worldwide may have some form of sexual dysfunction at any one time. Although this is not something you want to discuss with your friends, it is important to seek advice from a professional expert if you are concerned about it.
Healing also has a lot to do with a partner’s support.
Partners play an important role in the success or failure of a man’s ED treatment. He says it can influence decisions regarding treatment and even whether to continue it. Creating space for discussion and sharing will help with healing. Most men with ED will be willing to go to the doctor if their partner tells them to do so. While it is important to have an understanding partner to talk about intimate issues like erectile dysfunction, it is equally important for men to seek medical help and support in such cases. It’s time to have a healthy conversation about sexual health and end the taboos that plague us all
