Is Erectile Dysfunction Impotence?
Overview
Erectile dysfunction which can also be referred to as impotence is the inability of a man to get or maintain an erection firm enough for sex.
Having erectile dysfunction might not necessarily be a problem but if it continues for a long time, it could take a toll on your relationship and result in mental health problems. It may also be difficult for your partner to get pregnant. Men who suffer from erectile dysfunction tend to lack self confidence and are often stressed out. ED can occur as a result of an underlying health condition such as diabetes and heart problems.
It may not be easy to talk about our erectile dysfunction as it may look embarrassing but not talking about it can worsen the situation. Speak with your primary healthcare provider for professional advice.
