Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction ( ED ) refers to difficulty in, or inability to, achieve and/or maintain an erection.
Risk factors for this includes physical illness such as diabetes or spinal injury, lifestyle factors such as obesity and smoking and psychological factors such as stress and bereavement.
