Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common condition characterized by the consistent inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance. While occasional difficulties with erections are normal and may occur due to factors like stress or fatigue, ED is diagnosed when the problem becomes persistent and impacts a man's ability to engage in sexual activity. This condition can have significant psychological and emotional effects, leading to feelings of frustration, low self-esteem, and relationship strain. Additionally, ED may serve as a warning sign of underlying health conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, or cardiovascular disease, as the same vascular and neurological issues that contribute to ED can also affect other parts of the body. 

For individuals with ED related to underlying health conditions, managing these conditions through medication and lifestyle changes is crucial. Seeking support from healthcare professionals and addressing any psychological factors contributing to ED can also play a significant role in treatment success and overall well-being.
