According to a survey taken by a hospital, about 5% of males that are more than 40 years of age have complete ED, and this percentage increases gradually up to 15 percent when the age reaches 70. And not only Erectile Dysfunction but the risk of other sexual problems also increases as the age of a man increases.

Talk with your doctor before trying supplements for ED. They can contain 10 or more ingredients and could make other health conditions worse. Some men say alternative treatments help them get and keep an erection. Unfortunately, the long-term safety of these products isn’t known, so most doctors don’t recommend them.
The number of men diagnosed with erectile dysfunction has skyrocketed ever since the little blue pill made it okay to talk about. Fortunately, the number of treatment options has increased, too. So, which ones are worth a shot, and which are just hype?
A physician typically asks a series of questions to determine family and sexual history, the male's ability and frequency of erections and sexual relations, levels of satisfaction, any diminished desire for sex, surgeries or injuries near the penis, prescription medication use, and history of using tobacco, alcohol, or illegal drugs.
Second-generation cardioselective beta-blockers (atenolol, metoprolol, bisoprolol, etc.) can also lead to ED. Atenolol was shown to cause significant reduction of sexual activity compared with placebo in a double-blind, parallel-arm study.22 The same study also showed a significant reduction in testosterone levels with atenolol versus valsartan. An open, prospective study of hypertensive men treated with atenolol, metoprolol and bisoprolol for at least 6 months showed high prevalence of ED – approaching 66 % – in these patients.23
You may have a lot of questions regarding your condition. EAU Patient Information on ED covers many of these questions but it does not deal with your personal situation. The urologist and the sexologist are the best people to discuss this with and you should not feel embarrassed about addressing any of your concerns. Why have I developed this problem? Why is this happening to me? What will happen in the next months and years if I do not get treatment? What will happen in the next months and years if I choose to have treatment? Which are the available treatment options? Which treatment option do you recommend for me? Why do you recommend this treatment option for me? What can I expect from that treatment? What are the possible side effects or risks of this treatment? Will it cure my condition? How long will I need to be treated for?

In their extensive review, Bassil and coworkers summarise the benefits and risks, with benefits such as improvement of sexual function, bone density, muscle strength, cognition and overall improvement in quality of life. Among the risks that have been suggested include erythrocytosis, liver toxicity, worsening of sleep apnoea and cardiac function, possibly increasing symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). They also note that although a possibility of stimulation of prostate cancer has been hypothesised, no scientific or clinical evidence exists to this possible risk.38
The risk of having ED after prostate cancer treatment depends on the surgical technique or type of radiation used by your doctor, but also on your:
InexpensiveFrequent side effects (40%) include headache, indigestion, facial flushing, nasal stuffiness, and rarely visual changes (temporary blue tint)
Studies have shown that for men with stress-related ED, when the partner is involved in the therapy, the problem is resolved 50%–70% of the time. When the man must go through counselling alone, the results are less successful. Psychosexual counselling is unlikely to be effective if a man drops out of treatment after just one or two sessions.44
