Impotence and Erectile Dysfunction

When your penis fills with blood it gets an erection and stretches in shape and in size. Erections can last just a couple of minutes or much longer depending on the stimulation involved. But sometimes your penis may not get an erection or your erection does not last long enough. This condition can be termed as erectile dysfunction or simply ED. It is also sometimes referred to as impotence. Impotence or erectile dysfunction is a widespread problem experienced by men worldwide.

If you fail to get an erection, you are not one in a million. In Kerala ED is reported by 1 in 10 men and that number increases with age. ED occurs when a man has consistent and repeated problems in sustaining an erection. Without right treatment, ED can make sexual intercourse difficult.
