Erectile dysfunction overview
Impotence is also known as erectile dysfunction (ED). It is defined as the inability to achieve and/or maintain an erection during intercourse. This topic is important as it is ongoing and affects about one-third of males worldwide. The prevalence of erectile dysfunction is expected to rise exponentially by 2025 thus resulting in increased stress, self-esteem issues, and depression. The development of an erection depends on various factors such as hormones, emotions, blood circulation, nerves, muscles, and mental state. It has been shown that impotence can result from both psychological and physical conditions.
