Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the persistent inability to achieve or maintain an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse. ED symptoms can range from mild to severe and can be caused by physical or psychological conditions, or both.

What Causes ED

ED is a common condition impacting 1 in every 4 men in the United States1 – that’s 30 million men2 and their partners who may be able to ease their symptoms with Eroxon®. Learn more about the potential causes of ED and how Eroxon® can help.

Age contributes to ED

ED is most prevalent among older men, impacting half of men over the age of 40.3 However, mild-to-moderate symptoms often go undetected and untreated, especially in younger men.

Erectile health links to overall health & wellness

Most ED cases are due to underlying physical conditions impacting blood flow4 like diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Younger men are more likely to experience ED due to psychological challenges such as anxiety and depression.5 Regardless of the cause of your ED symptoms, Eroxon® may be able to help.

Lifestyle factors impact erectile health

Lifestyle may impact your ability to get an erection. Smoking, obesity, and physical inactivity6 can increase the risk of ED. For example, smokers are about 50% more likely to experience ED symptoms than non-smokers.7
