Common signs include:
- Difficulty getting or maintaining an erection
- Reduced sexual desire or libido

Other associated symptoms may include:

- Avoidance of intimacy
- Feeling frustrated or disconnected from partner

- Depression or irritability
These symptoms, especially when persistent, require medical evaluation and support.
How Does Erectile Dysfunction Show Up in Different Ways?
ED can vary based on underlying causes—physical, psychological, or a combination:
Performance anxiety: Fear of failure affecting sexual response.
Health-related causes: Linked to diabetes, heart disease, or hormonal issues.
Medication side effects: Some drugs may interfere with sexual function.
