Frequently Asked Questions About Erectile Dysfunction

What are My Chances of Getting ED?

Erectile dysfunction is fairly common. The Department of Urology at the University of Washington estimates that it affects up to 30 million American men — that’s about 1 in 5 males. The chances of developing ED increase as a man ages. Nearly half of men 75 or older may have ED, while only 4 percent of men in their 50s have it.
