Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the inability to get and maintain an erection firm/hard enough for physical intimacy.

There are a range of factors that may contribute to erectile dysfunction (ED), including psychological factors, medical conditions and certain medications. Erectile dysfunction happens when there is insufficient blood flow or nerve stimulation to the penis, which is required to maintain a fully hard erection. 

Sexual arousal in men requires a combination of the brain, hormones, emotions, nerves, muscles and blood vessels to work together, and erectile dysfunction usually occurs when there is a problem with any of these elements. Sometimes a combination of physical and psychological issues causes erectile dysfunction, such as stress and/or anxiety combined with physical conditions such as diabetes, being overweight etc.

Just like any doctor's visit at any physical clinic, it is very important for you to be honest during your consultation with andSons' doctors so that they can work with you to identify any risks that these medications might have, based on your medical history and past or ongoing medications.

Oral ED medications may not be right for you if you are allergic to the active drug or any ingredients in the pill, if you have any pre-existing heart conditions, or if you are taking certain medications such as nitroglycerin. If you are from any one of these categories, it is advisable for you to consult with a urologist in person about alternative treatments that may be suitable for you.
