Erectile Dysfunction
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Erectile dysfunction is the persistent difficulty in achieving or maintaining an erection sufficient for sexual activity. It is a common condition that can have physical causes, emotional causes, or a combination of both.
Common causes: Factors such as circulatory problems, diabetes, high blood pressure, hormonal changes, stress, anxiety, and certain habits like smoking play a role.
Why consult? Beyond sexual life, it can sometimes be an early sign of other health conditions worth reviewing.
Which specialist treats it? The urologist and the andrologist assess its origin, and support from the psychologist or sex therapist is helpful when emotional factors are involved. Talking about the topic with a professional, with the same naturalness as any other medical consultation, allows you to identify the cause and receive personalized guidance.
