Erectile dysfunction (ED) is characterised by the consistent difficulty obtaining or maintaining an erection suitable for sexual intercourse. This issue, previously referred to as impotence, can affect men at any age, though it is more prevalent in those over 75.
It's important to note that experiencing ED is not an inevitable part of ageing. As men age, they may require more physical stimulation ( touching and stroking) to attain an erection and may also need longer recovery times between sexual activities. Nonetheless, older men are generally capable of achieving erections and enjoying sexual experiences.
Occasional difficulties in achieving or maintaining an erection are common. However, erectile dysfunction becomes a concern when it consistently impedes satisfactory sexual activity, potentially affecting both sexual fulfilment and overall quality of life. Fortunately, there are effective medications and treatments available at JOGO to manage this condition.
