Call your doctor if you suffer Impotence
It is important to know and understand that erectile
dysfunction is a medical condition and not necessarily
just part of getting older. Erectile dysfunction is
no longer a problem which cannot be solved. It is cured
through number of treatment and medicines that are available
just for ED.
Men who have ED should visit their doctor to discuss
their sexual health and their overall health. This will
give their doctor the opportunity to do a complete exam,
during which significant health problems may be detected
and addressed, and treatment options for erectile dysfunction
can be discussed.
The currently available oral medications are in a class
called PDE5 inhibitors. These medications work to restore
a normal system of blood flow in the penis so that an
erection can occur with sexual stimulation. Cialis,
Viagra and Levitra are erectile dysfunction drugs. All
are oral drugs and are effective forms of erectile dysfunction
treatment.
Erectile Dysfunction or male impotence is experienced
by most men in some stage of their lives. Erectile Dysfunction
(ED) or impotence is a common health problem especially
in men above 40 years. This also occurs in younger men.
There are many causes for erectile dysfunction. The
primarily reasons are physical, psychological and
medical. Most of these conditions can be cured. Doctors
believe that most of the people suffer from mixed
erectile dysfunction. A combination of all reasons
like medical conditions, emotional and physiological
reasons can cause erectile dysfunction.
The physiological reasons for erectile dysfunction
could be because of diabetes (Men with type 1 diabetes
have a greater risk of ED than men with type 2 diabetes),
vascular disease, hormone disorders, pelvic trauma,
any surgery or radiation, neurological conditions, Peyronie’s disease
or drugs. High blood pressure, also called hypertension
is one of the most closely linked conditions to erectile
dysfunction (ED). Not only can high blood pressure lead
to ED, but medication for HBP may cause ED, as well
as other sexual side effects.
The psychological aspects in erectile dysfunction
are also causes of ED like depression, guilt, worry,
stress, anxiety. These psychological conditions result
in loss of libido and thereafter erectile dysfunction.
Some experts believe that 80% of all erectile dysfunction
cases are caused due to physical disorders. The healthier
you are, the less likely are you to experience erectile
dysfunction. Reducing intake of alcohol, leading a
stress free life, quitting smoking and exercising
regularly may reduce the risk of erectile dysfunction.
Sometimes before starting medication for ED, a few
doctors or healthcare professionals may recommend
exercises, dieting to reduce blood lipids, to quit
smoking, reduce alcohol consumption and advice on
managing stress and fatigue.
Oral medication for ED can cause some side effects.
Most of them are well tolerated but a few are serious
side effects and can cause life threatening symptoms.
Any medication should be taken with proper consultation
with the health professional. The doctor should know
the reason for ED and all the medication that you
are taking before he prescribes any oral treatment
for ED.
Before oral treatment was used to cure ED, penile injection
was used to cure ED. The other ways were surgery and
inserting vacuum devices for the treatment of ED. Insurance
coverage of ED depends upon the type of treatment prescribed.
If there is a documented medical condition that is shown
to be causing ED, insurance will usually cover at least
some of it.
