What is erectile
dysfunction?
source health24
Erectile
dysfunction -otherwise known as impotence is the inability
to get or maintain an erection that is
sufficient to ensure satisfactory sex for
both partners. Erectile dysfunction
can have a physical or psychological cause,
but in the majority of cases it is primarily
physical. Most men experience occasional
problems with obtaining an adequate
erection, and this should not be a cause for
concern. Erectile dysfunction can be
treated at any age. Treatment options
include psychotherapy, drug therapy, vacuum
pumps and surgery.

Erectile dysfunction should be
distinguished from other male sexual functioning difficulties
sometimes erroneously referred to as impotence, such as
premature ejaculation, male orgasmic disorder (delay or absence
of orgasm) and hypoactive sexual desire disorder (lack of or
diminished sexual interest or desire). Men with erectile
dysfunction may or may not suffer from these other problems. |

Erectile dysfunction can occur at any age.
Occasional episodes are considered normal.
