There are common myths and misinformation circulation about ED, including who it affects, what causes it, and how it is effectively treated. It’s important to know fact from fiction, because false information can hit you right below the belt when it comes to addressing your ED.
First, it is important to know what exactly ED is and how many men are affected. It is defined as the persistent inability to achieve or maintain penile erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance. The Massachusetts Male Aging Study surveyed 1,709 men aged 40 – 70 years between 1987 and 1989 and found a prevalence of erectile dysfunction in 52 percent of those surveyed.
It was estimated that, in 1995, over 152 million men worldwide experienced erectile dysfunction, and that by the year 2025, the prevalence of ED is predicted to be approximately 322 million worldwide. So, you should know that you are not alone and the issue is growing.
Debunking the Top 6 Myths About ED
So, what are the top myths you need to watch out for? Here is a breakdown of the most common pieces of misinformation and beliefs, and the actual facts that debunk them.
1. Erectile Dysfunction Means One Thing Only
The fact is: There are at least three typical ways ED can affect a man. According to a recent article in Men’s Health Magazine, Daniel Williams, M.D., an associate professor in the department of urology at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, stated that there are a few ways that a man can experience ED symptoms.
- Some men have difficulty getting erections.
- Some men get an erection, but can’t maintain it long enough for complete, satisfying sex.
- Some may be unable to obtain a strong enough erection to allow any intercourse to take place.
2. Erectile Dysfunction is All in Your Mind
The fact is: Your overall health plays a big role in the development of ED, though stress may be a contributing factor. Studies show that men who have a 42-inch waist are 50 percent more likely to have ED than men with a 32-inch waist. This is further supported by the fact that obesity increases your risk of developing vascular disease and diabetes, two conditions that contribute to ED.
Issues with your heart, and problems with blood vessels, which may limit adequate blood flow to the penis, is a very common cause. In fact, Ed is often the first sign of a developing heart condition.
So, while stress and worry may affect your libido and contribute to ED, it is not fair to say it is a condition that is all in your head.
3. Erectile Dysfunction Only Happens To Men Over 50
The fact is: About 18 percent of men have some degree of sexual dysfunction, and it can even occur in men who are in their 20s, though the percentage of men affected increases greatly with age.
According to a study in the American Journal of Medicine, 85 percent of men ages 20 to 39 say they “always” or “almost always” can get and maintain an erection. But, that translates into 15 percent of men that struggle with their erections at least occasionally during sex.
Researchers at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health have determined that more than 18 million American men over the age of 20 are experiencing symptoms of impotence. One study found that 20 percent of men ages 40 to 59, report that they can typically get a good enough erection for sex, while 12 percent say “sometimes” they can, and 2 percent say they can never get one.
4. Erectile Dysfunction Requires You See a Specialist for Treatment
The fact is: You can get diagnosed and receive treatment easily through your primary care doctor. Your doctor can order tests to determine if you have other conditions that may be the underlying cause too, like diabetes, heart issues, or high blood pressure.
Your doctor can also prescribe one of the most successful erectile dysfunction drugs, known as PDE5 inhibitors, like the number one prescribed Viagra or Cialis.
5. There are Herbal Remedies That Work as Well as a Prescription
The fact is: Strictly regulated, FDA approved drugs are the safe and reliable way to treat ED. Unfortunately, there are actually many illegitimate pharmacies online that sell counterfeit or “herbal” Viagra, and they lure customers in by offering very low prices.
Often, these pharmacies advertise their counterfeit pills as “generic” Viagra. These counterfeit pills are often manufactured in foreign countries with lax quality standards. Therefore, these pills can be ineffective or even dangerous to your health.

The fact is: Clinical trials show that Viagra is effective for up to 80 percent of men and its safety and effectiveness have been well documented over the last 18 years. And it is affordable, since it is a proven treatment for male impotence and most health insurance plans will cover your prescription costs.
Viagra is a very safe and simple to use oral medication. Essentially you should take Viagra approximately 30 to 60 minutes before sexual activity. The effects of the drug can last for up to 4 hours. Some men even find that they can get more than one erection per dose.
The typical dosages for Viagra are 25 mg, 50 mg, and 100 mg doses. Usually the doctor sets the initial dose at 50 mg, and then decides, based on follow-up consultations, if more is needed.
The side effects of Viagra are generally mild and most men report that they disappeared completely as they continued to use the drug. The most common side effects of the drug are back and muscle pain, dizziness, flushing, headache, indigestion, nausea, rash, and runny or stuffy nose.
What Can You Do If You Think You Have ED?
Male impotence affects at least one-third of men at some point during their lifetime, making it a very common problem. A treatment for erectile dysfunction will depend mostly on what is causing it to occur. So you should see your doctor to rule out other medical problems and even if some of your current medicines might be the cause.
Your doctor may have you try a medicine to help with erectile dysfunction. The number one prescribed medication for erectile dysfunction is Viagra, (Sildenafil), which is a medicine that is taken by mouth that helps to maintain an erection. Viagra is what the medical field calls a PDE5 inhibitor that relaxes the muscles in the penis, allowing the vessels to dilate and fill with blood. This results in improved blood flow, facilitating an erection once you become sexually aroused. Not everyone can use these types of medications. Your doctor will help you decide what treatment is right for you.
Viagra is proven to work well for most men, regardless of age, or the length of time you have experienced male impotence, even if it has been for several years. Clinical trials have documented that Viagra is effective for up to 80 percent of men and its safety and effectiveness have been well proven since it was first approved by the FDA in 1998.
There are many contributing factors for experiencing male impotence. It may be your age, whether you have a specific health condition that’s affecting your ability to get and maintain an erection, or you are experiencing stress, anxiety, or relationship problems. Typically the first line of treatment, with the fastest results, is prescription ED medication.
