Did you know that normal erections reflect overall body health?
Studies indicate that approximately 52% of men aged 40-70 experience varying degrees of erectile dysfunction (ED), with 17% having mild cases, 25% moderate, and 10% severe. While this condition is associated with aging, it is not inevitable.

Due to the sensitivity of the topic, some may feel embarrassed to seek medical help or discuss the issue with their partner, which can lead to worsening symptoms. However, it is important to understand that ED can be an early indicator of other medical conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or lipid disorders.

Main Causes of Erectile Dysfunction

1. Health-Related Causes:

• Diabetes: Causes damage to blood vessels and nerves.
• High blood pressure: Leads to arterial stiffness and reduced blood flow.
• High cholesterol levels: Impairs blood circulation to the genital area.
• Obesity: Affects hormone levels and blood flow.
• Lack of exercise: Contributes to poor circulation.

2. Medication-Related Causes:

• Diuretics.
• Antidepressants.
• Blood pressure medications (B-blockers).
