Who Is Affected By Erectile Dysfunction? 

As ED is classified as a disorder that occurs when someone with a penis can’t have or maintain an erection. A weak erection, or an unsustained erection, can also be classified as ED. Though anyone can be affected by ED and, in fact, most people will at some point in their lives be affected by it, ED is more common in those who are older, have circulatory issues that can be related to conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure, have had nerve or spinal cord injuries, have had injuries to the groin, penis, or pelvis, are on certain medications such as antidepressants, have anxiety or are in a period of high stress, are overweight, and smoke.

What Are Some Ways To Treat Erectile Dysfunction? 

Treatment of ED depends on the cause. For example, if it is stress that may be causing your ED, removing yourself from the stressor, or practicing grounding techniques such as deep breathing and meditation, can help. If an underlying physical issue may be causing your ED, visiting a doctor to help understand the problem is the first step.
