Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for sexual intercourse. In the context of male infertility, ED can hinder a man's ability to conceive, as it may prevent sexual activity needed for sperm to reach the egg. Although ED itself does not directly affect sperm production or quality, it can impact a couple's ability to try for a baby. Addressing ED is essential for those facing infertility, as successful treatment can restore sexual function and increase the chances of conception. Consultation with a healthcare provider is important for effective management.
