Erectile dysfunction is a common problem in men, and thanks to commercials for popular mediations like Viagra and Cialis, most people are aware of the condition.
However, many men aren’t sure what the symptoms are. They know that erectile dysfunction is more common in older men. It’s four times more likely to effect men in their 60s than it is to effect men in their 40s, according to a study published in the Journal of Urology.
Erectile dysfunction is the consistent inability for men to get or keep an erection long enough or strong enough to sustain sex.
If you think you have erectile dysfunction, or ED, use this symptom checker for assistance.
Symptom checker
- Do you have trouble maintaining an erection at least 75% of the time?
- Are your erections too soft to have sex?
- Do your erections only last for a short period of time?
- Have you had a sustained problem getting and keeping an erection?
- Do you suffer from diabetes, heart problems, kidney disease or multiple sclerosis? These conditions can lead to ED.
If you answered yes to some or all of these questions, it’s time to talk with your doctor about erectile dysfunction. It’s important to understand that every man has trouble once in a while with erections, but if the problems is consistent, then it’s a real problem that likely needs medical intervention.
Treatment options
Your doctor will discuss your symptoms, and if diagnosed with ED, you may be prescribed an oral ED medication like Cialis. Cialis can be taken on-demand, or as a daily pill. The on-demand version is taken about an hour before sex, and helps men get an erection once stimulated. The daily version is obviously taken daily, and gives men more spontaneity in their sex life.
ED medications are available only by prescription, which can be obtained by a doctor or by an online consultation.
