If this happens to you, it should cause unnecessary worry or stress because it doesn’t mean you have ED. But if over 4 or more weeks, you have observed the issue for several days, you may have ED
Many men chase after herbal remedies, medications, and supplements even from unverified sources. Sometimes, certain habits you engage in ignorantly can cause ED and if you don’t stop them, the remedies you seek may be ineffective.
In this article, according to Healthline, I’ll like to enlighten you on habits that cause ED:
1. Excessive alcohol intake. Men who drink alcohol excessively to manage ED symptoms need to know that that remedy is not just only temporal but also ends up increasing the risk of having erectile issues.

A balanced diet and regular exercise can manage your weight
