Erectile Dysfunction

One in ten men has an erection problem
80% may have an underlying illness (organic).

An erection happens usually as a result of a sexual thought which activates the nerve supply, blood flow and stiffening of the penis. There can be several things that cause this mechanism to fail, and working it out is like putting the pieces of a jigsaw together!
