Over 30 million men have reported Erectile Dysfunction (ED) as the most common sex problem to their doctors. Meaning, these men have trouble getting/keeping an erection firm for sex.
Even though it's common for men to face troubles with their erections from time to time because of certain factors such as age, Erectile Dysfunction that's progressive or happens regularly during sex is abnormal and should get treated.

- The flow of blood in the penis gets limited because of damaged nerves
- When facing stress or during emotional instability
- An early warning of an underlying severe illness such as atherosclerosis (clogged arteries), diabetes, heart disease, or high blood pressure
