Comprehensive ED Information
Evidence-based information on erectile dysfunction including basics, treatments, living with ED, research, and expert guidance from medical professionals.
Summary
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common type of male sexual dysfunction. It is when a man has trouble getting or keeping an erection. ED becomes more common as you get older, but it's not a natural part of aging. Some people have trouble speaking with their doctors about sex, but if you have ED, you should tell your doctor. ED can be a sign of health problems and may indicate that your blood vessels are clogged or you have nerve damage from diabetes. Your doctor can offer several new treatments for ED. For many men, the answer is as simple as taking a pill. Getting more exercise, losing weight, or stopping smoking may also help.
