Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the inability to get and maintain an erection.
Erectile dysfunction is a very common condition, particularly in older men.
It is estimated that half of all men between the ages of 40 and 70 will have it to some degree.
WHAT CAUSES ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION?
Erectile Dysfunction is often caused by too little blood flow to the penis.
Other contributors to ED include nerve damage, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, being overweight, unhealthy lifestyle habits, such as smoking or eating unhealthy food, and illness such as diabetes.
Erectile dysfunction is often linked to things like stress, tiredness or alcohol. It can also be caused by physical or emotional problems.
Though it’s not rare for a man to have some problems with erections from time to time, ED that is progressive or happens routinely with sex is not normal, and it should be treated.
Finding the cause of your ED will help treat the problem and help with your overall well-being.
As a rule, what’s good for your heart health is good for your sex health.
It’s important to understand that everyone is different.
ED doesn’t affect every man in the same way.

Causes
ED can result from health problems, emotional issues, or from both. Some known risk factors are:
- Being over age 50
- Having high blood sugar (Diabetes)
- Having high blood pressure
- Having cardiovascular disease
- Having high cholesterol
- Smoking
- Using drugs or drinking too much alcohol
- Being obese
- Lacking exercise
Even though ED becomes more common as men age, growing old is not always going to cause ED. Some men stay sexually functional into their 80s. ED can be an early sign of a more serious health problem.
Finding and treating the reason for ED is a vital first step.
