Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the persistent inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance. It is a common condition that affects many men, especially as they age.

Symptoms of ED include:

• Difficulty getting an erection
• Inability to maintain an erection long enough for sexual intercourse
• Reduced sexual desire

While ED is not always curable, it is highly treatable. Many cases of ED can be managed with lifestyle changes, medication, or other treatments. The underlying cause of ED determines the appropriate treatment.

Risk factors for ED include:

• Heart disease
• Diabetes
• High blood pressure
• High cholesterol
• Smoking
• Obesity
• Certain medications
• Neurological disorders
• Hormonal imbalances
• Certain medical conditions such as prostate problems and Peyronie’s disease.

ED is diagnosed through a combination of medical history, physical examination, and sometimes laboratory tests. A healthcare provider will ask questions about sexual history, medical conditions, and medications to determine the cause of ED.

Treatment options for ED include:

• Always suggested to visit your doctor for any treatment options or medications
• Lifestyle changes such as exercise, a healthy diet, and quitting smoking
• Devices like vacuum pumps and penile implants
• Counseling and therapy for psychological causes
• Hormone replacement therapy for hormonal imbalances.

While ED cannot always be prevented, certain lifestyle changes can help reduce the risk:
