Common Myths about Erectile Dysfunction

Myth: Erectile dysfunction only affects men over 70 years.

Fact: Generally erectile dysfunction occurs in men over 40 years and older. Prevalence increases with age and associated health problems.⁷

Myth: ED is only a physical issue and has no psychological component.

Fact: ED can have both physical and psychological components. Psychological factors, including stress, anxiety, and depression, can contribute to or worsen ED.⁸

Myth: ED means that a man is less masculine.

Fact: ED is a medical condition and does not reflect a man’s masculinity or worth. It is a common issue, and it does not define a man’s identity or value in any way.⁹

Myth: Erectile Dysfunction is only related to advanced age

Fact: Though aging is an important cause contributing to ED, other health conditions such as heart diseases, increased blood pressure, diabetes mellitus etc. also play a significant role. Certain medications, lifestyle choices, and psychological factors can also contribute to development of ED.⁷

Erection Problems (EPs): A part of life³

If you can’t get or keep an erection hard enough for sex, you might have erection problems (EPs). Doctors call this condition erectile dysfunction (ED). Erection problems can be experienced in different ways. Some men:

• Don’t get an erection at all
• Get an erection that isn’t hard enough for sex
• Get an erection but can’t keep it long enough for sex

For some men with EPs it’s difficult to get or keep an erection every time they try to have sex. For others, EPs can happen every once in a while.
