Many men struggle with ED, with research showing up to 40 percent of men in their forties reporting some changes in erectile function - and incidence and the decline in quality of erections increases with age.

Peyronie’s disease, or Peyronie disease, is a common affliction, affecting up to 23% of the worldwide male population between the ages of 40 and 70 years. And because both patients and doctors underreport Peyronie’s disease, the actual numbers may be much higher.

Premature ejaculation (PE), also referred to as rapid or early ejaculation, is defined according to three essential criteria: (1) brief ejaculatory latency (reaching ejaculation in two minutes or less according to one study); (2) loss of control; and (3) psychological distress in the patient and/or partner. PE is relatively common with the Mayo Clinic stating that as many as one third of men say they experience this problem at some time in their lives. Approximately one third of men with PE have concurrent ED, which typically results in early ejaculation without a full erection.
