What the publication covers
Erectile dysfunction is common, and it is rarely a matter of the bedroom alone. It touches blood flow, the heart, diabetes, medicines, stress and the trust between partners.
A common condition
Research suggests between 30 million and 50 million men in the United States have ED, according to the NIDDK. [Source: NIDDK (NIH), 2024]
More common with age
According to the NIDDK, about 40% of men are affected at age 40, and 70% report ED by age 70. [Source: NIDDK (NIH), 2024]
Often a signal of something else
According to the Cleveland Clinic, ED can in many cases be the first symptom of another underlying problem, including heart disease. [Source: Cleveland Clinic, 2023]
Before anything else, a visit to your own doctor is the place to look for causes such as heart disease or diabetes.
