A common issue and a treatable one
For many men, addressing ED can help reduce anxiety around sex, restore confidence, and support more satisfying intimacy sometimes described as better sex, but without unrealistic expectations or guarantees.
What causes Erectile Dysfunction?
Common causes include:
- Reduced blood flow to the penis
- Stress, anxiety, or performance pressure
- Hormonal changes
- Underlying health conditions such as diabetes or cardiovascular disease
- Side effects of certain medications
- Lifestyle factors such as smoking or excess alcohol
Understanding these factors helps clinicians decide which treatment options may be suitable.
