What is erectile
dysfunction?
source health24
 
Erectile
dysfunction ('impotence') is an
inability to get or maintain an erection
which 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,
erection pills, 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.
