Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the inability to get or maintain an erection hard enough for satisfactory sex. The causes of ED can be psychological or physical and usually result in reduced blood flow to the penis – making it harder to get an erection.
Erection problems are common in men and the likelihood of experiencing ED increases with age. However, young men can also experience erectile issues and may need help to treat their symptoms. Thankfully, erectile dysfunction symptoms are relatively easy to treat with the help of ED medication.
The team at Men2Be Health recommend that when taking medication for Erectile Dysfunction, you start with the lowest strength, and you only increase when necessary.
