Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is the persistent inability to achieve or maintain an erection firm enough to have sexual activity. Approximately 1 in 5 American men > 20 years old suffer from ED. Some men may have difficulty achieving erection time to time, but when this happens more than half the time, then ED is present.

  • High Cholesterol
  • Smoking
  • Cardiovascular disease
