Reduced sexual potency
Reduced sexual potency is a symptom in which a man has less ability to maintain an erection to have normal sexual intercourse, compared to previously. Diabetes, atherosclerosis (clogging of the arteries), injuries, nerve problems, anxiety, depression, low testosterone, and drug side effects are some of the causes.
