Things you might have heard about erection problems
Erection problems aren’t talked about as openly as they should be. That’s why myths like these can spread:
EPs are only a problem for men over 60.
No, erection problems can affect men of any age, and about 40% of men under 40 experience them.
EPs are a reflection of your masculinity.
No, erection problems are not a reflection of masculinity. EPs often occur due to health conditions – ones you might not even know you have. If you are experiencing EPs, talk to a pharmacist or make an appointment to see your doctor and discuss your health.
EPs have nothing to do with other health problems.
EPs can result from issues with your physical health, mental wellness, or taking certain medications.
*Prevalence based on men reporting occasional and frequent difficulty getting or monitoring on an erection [ref. Kantar TNS Omnibus survey Dec2010 in a survey of 1033 men]
