ED or erectile dysfunction is fairly common in men, and can actually be caused by a variety of other health factors from high blood pressure (hypertension) to vascular disease or type 2 diabetes. Age may also play a role, and it’s nothing to be ashamed of. You may already know, but it’s characterized by an inability to keep an erection during sexual activities. However, it doesn’t always necessarily mean that you can’t get aroused. Sometimes, arousal may not last long enough to have sex even when it does make an appearance. Needless to say, this can be quite frustrating and can put a damper on what would otherwise be some good times. Luckily, there are  treatments that can help, and it’s never been easier to access them. Hims offers an accessible range of treatments, including FDA-approved options, that are up to 95% cheaper than brand names, yet just as effective.
