Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common male sexual health problem characterized by an inability to get and/or maintain an erection despite sexual arousal. During sexual arousal, impulses from the brain and genital nerves cause the muscles in the penis relax. This allows chambers within the penis to fill with blood, making the penis rigid. Once the muscles contract, the blood will flow out of these chambers and the penis will no longer be erect. With erectile dysfunction, however, either the impulses are being blocked and/or the blood flow to the penis is restricted. When erectile dysfunction happens regularly, it can cause depression, a decrease in one’s quality of life, and anxiety about sexual performance.
