Erectile Dysfunction FAQs
While most men can experience some occasional erection trouble, this is not necessarily a cause for concern. However, if erectile dysfunction problems persist often, it can negatively impact your intimate relationships and self-confidence. While erectile dysfunction, or ED, can occur at any age, it most commonly affects men over 60. If this sounds like you, you’re not alone.
