What Is Erectile Dysfunction?
ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION is the impairment of the Erectile reflex. The man is unable to have or maintain an erection. Like other dysfunctions, Erectile dysfunction can be either life long or acquired, situational or generalized. Life long Erectile dysfunction is when a man has never had an erection. Acquired is when a man has in the past had an erection but no longer is able to have or maintain an erection either in certain situations or at all. As a situational dysfunction, Erectile dysfunction is very common, almost universal. At some time in a man’s life he will be unable to have an erection even though he is being sufficiently stimulated. In its situational form, there is a variety of ways it occurs. For some men they are unable to have an erection during foreplay, while others have difficulty only attempting intercourse. Still other men only have difficulty with specific partners but no dysfunction with other partners. Viagra® is the leading medication for this type of sexual dysfunction.
