Erectile dysfunction, often shortened to ED, means having trouble getting or keeping an erection firm enough for sex. It is very common, especially as men get older, and it is a topic worth discussing openly with a doctor. Occasional trouble is normal, but ongoing difficulty can be a sign that something else needs attention.
The main sign is difficulty with erections that happens often or over a period of time. ED can also lower interest in sex or cause stress and worry. Causes are often physical and may include reduced blood flow, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, hormone changes, and certain medicines. Emotional factors such as stress, anxiety, and relationship concerns can also play a role. Often, several factors combine.
