Erectile Dysfunction Treatment


Erectile dysfunction or ED is Commonly known as ‘impotence. Erectile dysfunction is the inability to get and keep an erection firm enough for sex. Most of the men have occasional ED which is quite normal. However, having erectile dysfunction frequently is a cause of concern. Male sexual arousal is a complex process that involves the brain, hormones, emotions, nerves, muscles and blood vessels. Erectile dysfunction can result from a problem with any of these. Likewise, stress and mental health concerns can cause or worsen erectile dysfunction.

Sometimes a combination of physical and psychological issues causes erectile dysfunction. For instance, a minor physical condition that slows your sexual response might cause anxiety about maintaining an erection. The resulting anxiety can lead to or worsen erectile dysfunction.
