Erectile dysfunction is a common sexual problem for men over 40. The disorder causes a difficulty in maintaining an erection during sexual intercourse. Erectile dysfunction treatment is based on addressing various psychological concerns of men. For a proper erection, your blood vessels, brain, muscles and hormones must work together.
