According to the Men's Health Forum, one in 10 men is affected by erectile dysfunction


Erectile dysfunction (ED) is when a man cannot get or keep an erection. It’s also much more common than you may think, especially in men over the age of 40. Contrary to popular belief ED isn't always a psychological


problem. There are several health conditions that could be the cause.


Medicines and ED Certain medicines can cause ED, including antihypertensives, beta-blockers, diuretics, antidepressants, antihistamines and anticonvulsants. Some of these medicines are used to treat common problems such as allergies, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and depression. Other things that can cause ED include regular heavy


drinking and using illegal recreational drugs. Smoking can also cause a problem because nicotine affects the blood supply to the areas of the penis involved in erections.
