AB  - Erectile dysfunction (ED), which is often known as impotence, is a kind of sexual dysfunction in which the penis fails to erect or remain erect during sexual activity which is the most common sexual dysfunction among men. Because of its relationship with self-image and problems in sexual encounters, erectile dysfunction may be psychologically devastating. Physical reasons may be established in around 80% of cases. Cardiovascular illness, diabetes, neurological issues, hypogonadism, pharmacological side effects, and hypogonadism are all possibilities. Impotence is caused by thoughts or sentiments in around 10% of instances.
