Erectile dysfunction or impotence is the inability to get and maintain or keep an erection long or firm enough for normal, satisfying sexual intercourse.
Very common condition, particularly in older men – estimated that half of all men between the ages of 40 and 70 have this condition to some degree.
A man with ED may psychologically feel arousal, but the penis is unable to maintain an erection. This may lead to frustration, feelings of failure, emasculation, and shame.
As you get older, erections might take longer to develop and might not be as firm. You might need more direct touch to your penis to get and keep an erection.
It can be treated with a combination of lifestyle changes and medical treatments.
COMMON SYMPTOMS & CONCERNS
- Trouble getting an erection
- Trouble keeping an erection
- Reduced sexual desire – loss of libido
- Need a lot of stimulation to maintain an erection
- Stress or anxiety
Common causes:
Physical

- Pituitary gland tumors
- Atherosclerosis – narrowing of the blood vessels going to the penis – commonly associated with high blood pressure (hypertension), high cholesterol
- Arteriosclerosis – hardening of the blood arteries
- Improper blood flow may prevent stiffening the penile shaft or unable to maintain that stiffness because of weakened tissues.

- Excessive indulging in sexual activities or history of masturbation.
- Poor diet & unhealthy lifestyle
- Poor sexual techniques.
- Surgery such as prostate surgery or radiation treatment for cancer
- Physical injury or trauma particularly if they damage the nerves or arteries that control erections.
- Heavy metal poisoning
- Drugs and alcohol use, especially if you’re a long-term drug user or heavy drinker
- Smoking – Tobacco use restricts blood flow to veins and arteries, can — over time — cause chronic conditions that lead to erectile dysfunction
Psychological causes: In most of the cases the problems are in the mind rather than the penis – it is more of a mental block rather than an organic disease.

- Being over-tired
- Personal issues such as raising the kids
- Financial crisis
- Job or house concerns
