Erectile Dysfunction

What Is Erectile Dysfunction?

Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is more common than most men realize. It’s the ongoing difficulty to achieve or maintain an erection firm enough for sexual activity. While an occasional challenge is normal, persistent ED can affect confidence, relationships, and overall well-being.

What Causes Erectile Dysfunction?

ED often has more than one cause. At Lite Medical, we look at the whole picture—physical health, lifestyle, and emotional factors.

Circulation issues

Heart disease, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol can restrict blood flow.

Diabetes

Can damage nerves and blood vessels linked to erections.

Hormone imbalances

Low testosterone or thyroid issues may play a role.

Neurological conditions

Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis, or spinal injuries can interfere with nerve signals.

Medications

Some prescriptions list ED as a side effect.

Lifestyle

Smoking, alcohol, or inactivity can all contribute.

Stress and anxiety

Worrying about performance can make it worse.

Depression

Low mood can lower desire and function.

Relationship challenges

Tension or poor communication may contribute.
