What Is Erection Quality?

In market research, men identified three things as essential elements in achieving a satisfactory erection, including:

* The ability to get an erection
* Erection hardness
* The ability to keep an erection that lasts long enough to finish having sex

Taken together, these three things make up erection quality.

Almost all men, at some time in their lives, have occasional difficulty getting and keeping a quality erection. However, if you have more than an occasional difficulty getting or keeping an erection, if your erections are just not as hard as they used to be, or if you cannot have an erection at all, you may have erectile dysfunction (ED).

If so, you are not alone. It is estimated that up to 30 million men in the United States have experienced at least partial ED.

If you've noticed changes in your erections, there is something you can do about it. Talk to your doctor.

In clinical trials, LEVITRA reliably improved erectile function for a majority of men with mild to severe ED.

Assessing Your Risk of Erectile Dysfunction

The ED Awareness Quiz is an easy-to-use educational tool for men at risk for erectile dysfunction (ED). Since many conditions can affect erectile function, this tool considers risk factors such as health conditions (diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart disease), lifestyle (smoking), and age to help discover how you might be at risk for ED.
