Erectile Dysfunction
Symptoms & Medications
How is Erectile Dysfunction Defined?
If you’re experiencing problems achieving an erection, you are not alone. Most men will experience ED symptoms at some point in their lives.
Effects of ED include:
Common Causes of Erectile Dysfunction
Existing Health Concerns:
In many cases, ED is linked with health concerns such as obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, or cardiovascular disease.
Psychological:
The mind plays an important role in causing or worsening ED symptoms. Stress, performance anxiety, depression, and medications used to treat these conditions often affect the ability to achieve an erection.
Lifestyle:
A lack of exercise, poor diet, obesity, an increase in alcohol use, prolonged smoking, or drug use may also produce symptoms of ED.
If you are experiencing symptoms of ED, it’s time to take charge of your sexual wellness by visiting your doctor to discuss causes and treatment options.
