After a CHT that focuses on erectile dysfunction, I often hear audience members ask, "What's erectile dysfunction?" or "Is what I have erectile dysfunction?" Experts often unknowingly pepper their speech with jargon. Add to that the embarrassment many men feel from their condition and you have a recipe for misunderstanding. With this post, I want to provide a nice simple definition of erectile dysfunction and the top six phrases for it. Let's start with the definition:
Erectile dysfunction is the inability to maintain an erection firm enough to have sexual intercourse.
And now the top six (blog friendly) terms I hear for sexual dysfunction:
- ED
- ER
- Erectile Restoration
- Impotent
- Impotence
- Limp dick
So, those are the terms I hear most often. If any of them describe your condition, you might be suffering from erectile dysfunction and a visit to your urologist might be in order.
Tomorrow, we'll talk incontinence.
