Welcome to this fortnight's edition of Heath eNews!
Erectile dysfunction is thought to affect up to 40% men at some point in their life. Despite being so common, many men still feel it is "just them". Compared to years ago when it was not discussed, this issue has now made it out of the locker room and into mainstream health. There is much that can be done to help.
If you have any comments about this newsletter or Virtual Medical Centre, share them with me here.
Yours in good health,
