How common is ED?

ED is a common condition in men of all ages and ethnicities. The risk of having ED increases with age.

Vascular issues and diabetes account for 70% of the physical causes of erectile dysfunction.1

Pelvic surgery (e.g., radical prostatectomy) trauma, neurologic disorders, endocrine problems, and medications can also cause a man to experience erectile dysfunction. ¹
