Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction occurs when an individual is unable to achieve and sustain a penile erection.
Erectile dysfunction may be caused by:
1. Low testosterone level, which inhibits sexual desire and arousal.
2. Damage to the nerves supplying the penis.
3. Impaired blood supply to the penis, normally resulting from arteriosclerosis.
4. Dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system, sometimes due to drugs used to treat hypertension.
5. Stress, emotional factors, and many chronic illnesses, which may impair the person's quality of life and also adversely affect sexual performance.
Best known treatment of ED is sildenafil (Viagra). (Crowley, 2014)
