Erectile dysfunction (ED) not only impacts a man’s confidence, but it also can impact the happiness of the relationship between him and his partner. Partners can be left feeling disconnected, frustrated, or even rejected. While ED is common, affecting approximately 40% of men by age 40, it can be challenging for couples to discuss. The good news is that it is treatable!
Your support as a partner, along with successful diagnosis and treatment of ED can help put that romantic spark back in your relationship. Many treatments for ED are even covered by insurance and prescription plans.
