What is erectile dysfunction?
Erectile dysfunction is defined as the persistent inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual intercourse. It can be occasional, but when it becomes frequent or chronic, it requires medical attention.
The causes of ED are numerous and can be classified into two main categories:
- Physical causes: cardiovascular disorders, diabetes, obesity, hypertension, neurological disorders, hormonal imbalances, etc.
- Psychological causes: stress, anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts, or social pressures.
It is also common for erectile dysfunction to result from a combination of physical and psychological factors. That's why an accurate diagnosis is essential to determine the underlying cause and implement the appropriate treatment.
Why is it important to consult a professional?
Many men hesitate to seek help for erectile problems due to embarrassment or fear of being judged. However, ignoring this issue can not only affect your sexual and emotional life, but can also be an early indicator of other more serious health problems, such as:
- Cardiovascular diseases: ED is often a warning sign for underlying cardiovascular issues, as it can be related to poor blood circulation.
- Diabetes: Poorly controlled blood sugar can damage nerves and blood vessels, leading to erectile dysfunction.
- Depression or anxiety: These psychological disorders can affect your quality of life and overall health.
