What Is A Erecile Dysfunction
An erectile dysfunction is where a man cannot or struggles to gain or maintain a hard erection.
The study of erectile dysfunction within medicine is known as andrology, a sub-field within urology.
Erectile dysfunction can occur due to both physiological and psychological reasons, most of which are amenable to treatment. Common physiological reasons include diabetes, kidney problems, alcoholism, multiple sclerosis, atherosclerosis, vascular disease, and neurologic disease which account for about 70 percent of ED cases. Some drugs used to treat other conditions, may cause erectile dysfunction.
Erectile dysfunction, tied closely as it is to cultural notions of potency, success and masculinity, can have devastating psychological consequences including feelings of shame, loss or inadequacy; There is a strong culture of silence and inability to discuss the matter. In fact, around one in ten men will experience recurring impotence problems at some point in their lives and over 50% of males aged 50+ suffer from ED.
