Erectile Dysfunction (ED) or Impotence

What is ED?

Erectile Dysfunction, also known as ED or impotence, is a health condition when a man is unable to keep the penis stiff enough for a long enough time to allow for normal sexual intercourse. A man may experience impotence from time to time as there are many physical and psychological factors that are involved. However, it is when a man suffers from impotence chronically (all or most of the time) that it becomes a problem that needs to be treated.

The chemistry and the process of allowing the penis to become firm is complicated and involves the combination of brain stimulation, blood flow into penile tissue, nitric oxide levels, nerve functions and male hormone levels. Any imbalance in any of these factors will prevent a male from achieving a full erection. In order for an erection to occur, a man requires either mental (sexual) or physical stimulation (usually of the penis).

The fact is, an estimated 10 to 20 million American men suffer from complete ED. Most of these men are over the age of 65 years. Plus an additional 10 million Americans experience some level of ED.

Fixing impotence may be as simple as finding and controlling causes such as stress and anxiety. Or curing ED may be as difficult as figuring out how to reverse the damage caused by years of not looking after your diabetes and heart disease.
