A medical practitioner, Abigail Gasu Acheampong, has listed economic problems, cycling, backaches and long hours of sitting as some of the common causes of Erectile Dysfunction (ED).
According to her, before an erection can happen in a male, all factors, including the environment, stress levels, hormone levels, the muscles in the penis and others must align and be in sync.
She defined the condition as anything that prevents a male from completing a sexual activity.
Explaining how the erection process occurs, she noted that to facilitate an erection, all the blood vessels in the penis must collect blood which must stay in the tissues until the person reaches a climax.
