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.

Signs and Symptoms

ED shows up in different ways, but common symptoms include:

Trouble getting or keeping an erection
