Erectile dysfunction or impotence or as a matter of fact, being impotent is the inability of an adult individual to get, keep, hold or sustain an erection firm, strong and long enough to have sexual intercourse, thus affecting relationships, amplifying emotional difficulties and ultimately making the affected individual or couple infertile.

“In most cases, men do experience temporary or short-term loss of erection during the time of stress or while affected with various kinds of diseases or disorders, however, frequently experiencing erectile dysfunction like symptoms such as premature ejaculation, lack of interest in sex, absent ejaculation etc. can be signs of some serious underlying problems and need to be addressed immediately,” mentioned Dr. Ali Mehdi Zadeh, Consultant Urologist and Head of Kuwaiti German Urology Unit.

He added “Erectile dysfunction is mainly caused by the damaged penile arteries which block blood flow inside the penis, other causes might include stress, anxiety, surgical damages, injuries, cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, smoking, alcohol and drug abuse. “
