Overview
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the consistent inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory intercourse. It affects around one in five men over 40, and its incidence rises with age. ED is often the first sign of an underlying vascular or hormonal issue, which is why a proper medical assessment matters — even before considering treatment.

Causes
Diagnosis
Treatment
Lifestyle first
Weight loss, smoking cessation, exercise and glycaemic control alone restore function in a meaningful subset of men.
Oral therapy (PDE5 inhibitors)
Sildenafil, tadalafil and similar tablets remain first-line — safe, effective and long-established when properly prescribed.
Vacuum & intracavernosal
Vacuum erection devices and low-dose penile injections work well when tablets are unsuitable or insufficient.
Restorative & surgical
Low-intensity shock-wave therapy for vasculogenic ED; penile implants for medically refractory cases, with very high satisfaction.
