Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is often the warning sign of a bigger medical problem. As Dr. Mehmet Oz explains, "Only 20 percent of erectile dysfunction is in our minds, [so] 80 percent or so is physical."1 Searching for information online about erectile dysfunction can be quite a challenge because so many spammers and marketers have infiltrated blogs, message boards and communities. We have assembled some of the better resources below.
Fast Facts:
- Erectile dysfunction is defined as the inability to achieve or sustain an erection suitable for sexual intercourse.2
- ED can happen at any age, but it is more common in men older than 65.3
- The word "impotence" is also used to describe other problems that interfere with sex and reproduction; using the term erectile dysfunction means those other problems are not involved.4
