Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a frequent symptom of low testosterone, affecting a man's ability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for sexual activity. While ED can have multiple causes, testosterone deficiency is a significant contributing factor.
Testosterone is essential for maintaining healthy blood flow to the penis and supporting the neural pathways involved in sexual arousal. Low testosterone levels can impair nitric oxide production, reduce penile sensitivity, and affect the psychological aspects of sexual desire, all contributing to erectile difficulties.
