ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION

Overview

Around 30% of adults in the U.S. suffer from erectile dysfunction (ED), yet many do not seek professional help or receive an accurate diagnosis. Having ED means experiencing difficulty in achieving or maintaining an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance, which can significantly impact your quality of life. This condition can have a profound effect on both your professional and personal life.

Every year, numerous adults struggle with the effects of undiagnosed ED. Studies have shown that individuals with ED often face misunderstandings and misconceptions, resulting in feelings of frustration, low self-esteem, and anxiety about their condition.
