Erectile dysfunction can be a sign of a physical or psychological condition. It can cause stress, relationship strain and low self-confidence. The main symptom is a man's inability to get or keep an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse. Patients suffering from erectile dysfunction should first be evaluated for any underlying physical and psychological conditions. If treatment of the underlying conditions doesn't help, medication and assistive devices, such as pumps, can be prescribed. Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the inability to get or keep an erection firm enough to have sexual intercourse. It is also sometimes also referred to as impotence. Occasional ED is not uncommon. Many men experience it during times of stress. Temporary impotence is a common problem. In fact, nearly every man has occasional problems attaining or maintaining an erection. Unfortunately, many women take a man's impotence personally. Conditions that affect the heart and its ability to pump blood well can cause impotence. Without enough blood flow to the penis, a person can't achieve an erection. Atherosclerosis, a condition that causes the blood vessels to become clogged, can cause impotence. Impotence is not the same as infertility. An infertile man does not produce enough effective sperm to conceive. An impotent man can be perfectly fertile, so being impotent does not mean a man cannot have children. Often impotence is much easier to treat than infertility.
