Kidney Health Information

Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile Dysfunction is a condition where a man is unable to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for sexual activity. It is a common condition and can be related to physical or psychological factors. Early evaluation and proper treatment can help improve confidence and quality of life.

What is Erectile Dysfunction?

Erectile Dysfunction occurs when there is reduced blood flow, nerve function issues, or hormonal imbalance affecting the ability to get or maintain an erection. It may occur occasionally or be a persistent problem.

In some cases, it can be an early sign of underlying health conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or kidney disease.
