Erectile dysfunction (ED), sometimes referred to as male impotence, is defined as the persistent inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual activity. While not life-threatening, ED can significantly affect confidence, relationships and quality of life.
Importantly, erectile dysfunction is often a medical condition rather than just a sexual problem. It may be an early sign of underlying health issues – particularly cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hormonal imbalance or medication effects.
