Regain Confidence & Take Control: Understanding ED and Your Treatment Options
Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is a condition that many men experience but few feel comfortable discussing. Despite the stigma, it’s important to know that ED is more common than you might think, affecting approximately 30 million men in the United States. Understanding the causes, prevalence, and treatment options can make all the difference in addressing this condition and reclaiming confidence.
How Common is Erectile Dysfunction?
While erectile dysfunction becomes more prevalent with age, it isn’t exclusive to older men. Research shows that around 40% of men experience some degree of ED by the time they reach 40, and that number rises to about 70% by age 70. Younger men aren’t immune either—stress, anxiety, and certain lifestyle factors can also contribute to the condition. The truth is, that ED can affect men at any stage of life, making it an issue worth addressing. "Many men don’t realize just how common erectile dysfunction is," says Dr. David Caltrider, a leading provider at HealthCARE Express. "The good news is, erectile dysfunction is highly treatable, and in many cases, small lifestyle changes or targeted therapies can make a huge difference."
What Causes Erectile Dysfunction?
There are numerous factors that can lead to ED, ranging from physical health conditions to emotional challenges.
- Physical Causes:
- Heart disease
- Diabetes
- High blood pressure
- Hormonal imbalances
- Lifestyle Factors:
- Smoking
- Alcohol or drug use
- Lack of exercise
- Emotional or Psychological Causes:
- Stress

"ED is often a symptom of an underlying health issue," explains Dr. Spencer Reynolds. "We focus on a full-body approach—looking at heart health, hormone levels, and even mental well-being—to find the root cause and create an effective treatment plan."
