Introduction
Impotence or erectile dysfunction is the inability to have an erection, or dissatisfaction with the size, rigidity, or duration of erections. Erectile dysfunction affects 15-20 percent of millions of males around the world and can be emotionally and psychologically immobilizing for men and their partners. In 80% of ED cases, physical factors such as drugs, blood flow abnormalities, nerve impulse abnormalities are the major causes. ED can cause emotional strain between couples. Many times, men will avoid sexual situations due to their emotional pain associated with ED, causing their partner to feel rejected. The good news is that ED can usually be treated safely and effectively.
