Erectile Dysfunction

What is Erectile Dysfunction (impotence)? Who gets it?



                        Erectile dysfunction (ED) It is an inability to acquire or maintain a satisfactory erection. The existence of erectile dysfunction depends or varies patient to patient according to his age. 
Let observe a table 
                                  Age                Percentage  
                                    50 to 59          16%
                                    70 to 75          44%

                         There are three types of erections -- those caused by tactile stimulation, those caused by mental stimulation, and those that men experience while sleeping. This classification can be important when the cause of erectile dysfunction is yet to be determined.
In order to have an erection, men need stimuli; they need blood arriving from the arteries and have veins capable of locking the blood in place. Each of the numerous steps in this system can fail making erectile dysfunction a complex problem for investigation.
