Difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection
When a man has erectile dysfunction (ED), he has trouble getting or keeping an erection. ED can be caused by a number of physical and mental issues that aren’t always obvious. Heart disease, diabetes, low testosterone, and nerve damage are all common physical causes of ED. ED can also be caused by things like anxiety and depression that happen in the mind. ED can cause trouble getting and keeping an erection, less sexual desire, and less satisfaction from sexual activity. If you have signs of ED, you should talk to a doctor to find out what’s wrong and make a treatment plan.
Reduced sexual desire
Reduced sexual desire, also called hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD), is a common sexual problem in which a person doesn’t want to be sexual. HSDD can be caused by both physical and mental factors. Physical causes include hormonal imbalances, medical conditions, and medications. Mental causes include stress, anxiety, and depression. HSDD can also be a sign of a health problem, such as heart disease, diabetes, or a problem with the nervous system. Some signs of HSDD are not having sexual thoughts or fantasies, not being interested in sexual things, and having trouble getting aroused. If you are feeling like you don’t want to be sexually active, it’s important to talk to a doctor or nurse to find out why and make a treatment plan.

Reduced sexual satisfaction or performance
Sexual dysfunction, which can have many different causes, is often marked by less sexual satisfaction or performance. Some medical conditions, like heart disease, diabetes, and nerve damage, as well as medications, hormonal imbalances, and getting older, can lead to less sexual satisfaction or performance. Stress, anxiety, and depression are all psychological problems that can make it hard to enjoy or perform sexually. Relationship problems, like fights, a lack of intimacy, and bad communication, can also make it hard to feel satisfied and perform well in bed. Less sexual satisfaction or performance can cause a person to lose interest in sex, have trouble getting aroused, or have trouble getting an orgasm. If you are having symptoms of less sexual satisfaction or performance, you should talk to a healthcare provider to find out what’s going on and make a plan for treatment.
