More than 152 million men world-wide suffer from Erectile Dysfunction or ED. Currently, there are three FDA-approved products on the market for treating the symptoms associated with this condition. You may be surprised to learn that just a fraction of the hundreds of millions adult males with ED ever seek treatment.
Over 84 million adult males are currently living with Erectile Dysfunction (ED), and reports show that not even ten percent of these men are likely to seek treatment. The largest reason for keeping ED to yourself is clearly psychological, since many men have in their head it would be better for them to deny they are currently suffering with ED than to contact a doctor for help.
As many as half of all men will experience some form of Erectile Dysfunction by their 40s, which may lead to limited sexual intimacy due to the lack of sexual confidence involved.
From the male point of view, being unable to deliver a sexually satisfying performance is something personal and a problem that affects only them. From the female point of view, a decrease in sexual activity and performance often makes them feel like the ones responsible, and makes them believe they are at fault. They may even develop issues with their body. Both sides of a relationship can suffer greatly when dealing with the troubles that ED can bring. Even strong bonds can begin to dissolve over time.
ED does not have to ruin your life, and it shouldn’t take away the most precious moments of an intimate relationship. There are many treatment options out there that are FDA-approved, safe for use, and able to treat all the common physical issues caused by Erectile Dysfunction.
