Erectile Disorder (ED) is characterized by the consistent difficulty in achieving or maintaining an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual activity. ED can occur at any age but increases in prevalence with age. It may cause significant emotional distress, anxiety, and reduced self-esteem. In Saudi Arabia, ED is often stigmatized, and men may avoid discussing symptoms with healthcare providers due to cultural norms regarding masculinity and sexual health.
