Erectile dysfunction overview

It is estimated that half of all men in the UK between 40 and 70 years old will experience at least one episode of erectile dysfunction or ED. Erectile dysfunction is the inability to achieve or sustain an erection for satisfactory sexual intercourse. Problems with erections may stem from medications, chronic illnesses, poor blood flow to the penis, drinking too much alcohol, or being too tired. Lifestyle changes, medications and other treatments are often used to treat ED.
