Hello! Let’s talk about a topic that many find difficult to discuss: erectile dysfunction, or ED. It’s quite common, and understanding it can help reduce the stigma and encourage those affected to seek help.

Erectile dysfunction, often referred to as ED, is when a man has trouble getting or keeping an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse. It’s a common issue, especially as men get older.

In South Korea, about 20% of men aged 40 and above experience some form of ED. It’s not just an issue for older men; around 10% of men in their 30s-report having ED. The numbers increase with age, with nearly 40% of men over 50 experiencing erectile problems.
