Erectile dysfunction may cause or exacerbate psychological problems such as embarrassment, low self-esteem, and feelings of inadequacy, frustration, and depression. Consequently, personal, familial and business relationships may be adversely affected. Like any medical problem, erectile dysfunction should be treated promptly. The sooner it is diagnosed and treated, the better the outcome. If left untreated, options become more limited or unsuccessful.
Erectile dysfunction is more than just a sexual problem.
Correct and early treatment prevents the irreversible deterioration often seen in cases that have been neglected. In the majority of cases a man's sexual life can be restored to its full capacity. A fulfilling sex life is then reflected positively in one's social, family and work environments. Recent studies prove that couples with a healthy sex life are not only affected less by problems such as depression, anxiety, hypertension, diabetes, ulcers, viruses and other ailments, but also have a greater life expectancy .
