Erectile Dysfunction in Jacksonville, FL

Erectile dysfunction, commonly referred to as ED, is a men’s health condition that describes the inability to attain or maintain an erection that is firm enough for sexual intercourse. Experiencing some difficulty with erections every now and then is generally not a cause for concern. But when ED, also known as impotence, occurs on a more progressive basis, it may indicate other types of health issues and should be evaluated by a urologist.
