Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common condition where a man has difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection sufficient for sexual activity. It can be caused by physical health issues, psychological factors, or a combination of both. Common causes include diabetes, heart disease, stress, anxiety, and certain medications.

ED is treatable, and many effective options are available, such as:

• Lifestyle changes: Improving diet, exercising regularly, quitting smoking, and reducing alcohol intake.
• Medications: Prescription drugs that help increase blood flow to the penis.
• Counseling: Addressing psychological factors like stress or performance anxiety.

If you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms, it’s important to consult a urologist or a specialist doctor for proper evaluation and personalized care. They can help identify the underlying cause and recommend the best treatment plan.
