Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the persistent inability to attain and maintain an erection sufficient to permit satisfactory sexual performance. Risk factors for ED are
cardiovascular disease such as hypertension, coronary artery disease, peripheral vasculopathy, obesity, diabetes, dyslipidemia,
metabolic syndrome, lack of exercise, chronic conditions such as
chronic renal failure and smoking. There are other causes also. A thorough medical history and physical examination should be done to diagnose erectile dysfunction and determine potential underlying causes.
