Male sexual health has two very common problems. Erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation are problems faced by many men.
Erectile dysfunction also known as ED is defined as the inability to achieve or maintain an erection satisfactory for sexual performance. With a report (in Egypt) by the World Health Organization associating cigarette smoking, hypertension and diabetes mellitus as risk factors for ED, it is a very common trait as it is also associated with age.

We have different trees and herbs we use. This is a medication from our ancestors. It’s not like others on the market,” Dr Agyapong’s grandson said.
