Erectile dysfunction is a common condition that affects a man’s ability to get or maintain an erection. Most men will experience ED at some point in their lives and it is nothing to be ashamed or worried about.

The likelihood of ED increases by 10% with each decade of age. In other words, 50% of men in their 50s are likely to experience mild or moderate impotence. 

ED can have a significant impact on a man’s mental wellbeing as well as stress on relationships.
