What is "erectile dysfunction"?
Erectile dysfunction (ED) refers to the inability to achieve or maintain an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse. It can result from various factors, including physical conditions like diabetes, heart disease, or hormonal imbalances, as well as psychological factors such as stress, anxiety, or depression. ED can impact a person's self-esteem and relationships, but treatments are available to address underlying causes and improve sexual function. These may include medications, lifestyle changes, counseling, or medical procedures depending on individual circumstances.
