Erecticle Disfunction

Were you looking for information about Erectile Dysfunction? Erecticle disfunction is a common misspelling of erectile dysfunction.
 
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is estimated to affect between 15 million and 30 million American men. The condition can be defined as a total inability to achieve erection for sexual intercourse, an inconsistent ability to do so, or a tendency to sustain only brief erections.
 
In older men, the cause of ED is usually something physical like disease, injury, or side effects of drugs; but any disorder that causes injury to the nerves or impairs blood flow in the penis can potentially cause erectile dysfunction. The condition is treatable at any age through psychotherapy; drug therapy; vacuum devices; surgery; or lifestyle changes like losing weight, quitting smoking, and exercising more.
