Impotence (Erectile Dysfunction) Treatment
Impotence, medically referred to as Erectile Dysfunction (ED), is one of the most common male sexual health conditions, affecting millions of men worldwide. It is characterized by the consistent inability to achieve or maintain an erection firm enough for satisfactory sexual intercourse. While it is normal for men to occasionally experience erection issues due to stress or fatigue, persistent problems indicate a medical condition that requires evaluation and treatment.
Erectile dysfunction is often a symptom of an underlying health problem rather than a standalone issue. Physical causes include reduced blood flow to the penis due to heart disease or diabetes, nerve damage, hormonal imbalances like low testosterone, or side effects of certain medications. On the other hand, psychological factors such as anxiety, depression, relationship stress, or performance pressure can also significantly contribute to the condition.
