Person’s sex life decides his passion and enthusiasm towards life and
living it and it is said that if he is ignoring his
sexual requirements and problems then very soon he will
also loose his concentration on life also. It is a world
known fact that a person happy and satisfied with his
sex life lives more than those who take their sexual
health and pleasure on a lesser important note. Let
me warn you that if you are facing problems in your
sexual life then please solve it rather than shying
and leaving it as it is. You can not even imagine that
this ignorance and lack of awareness can someday lead
to impotency [also known as Erectile Dysfunction] and
then you will be not able to cherish those very personal
moments. Let me tell you in details what erectile dysfunction
or ED is.
Impotency and erectile dysfunctions is the most
common sexual disorder found among men world-wide. It
is an important men’s health issue and men’s
sexual deficiency in performing the important art of
manhood. It is a worst problem; men ever have to face
in their life span. It does not only influence the life
& life style of the male partner but affecting his
whole family and his social status is on a huge risk.
A research shows that male impotency is the primary
reason for most of the cases of divorce and extra marital
affairs by women or split between husband & wife
and hence the break-up of the family etc. Since adult
male is more prone to go through severe mental &
physical stress and strain thus they are more favorites
for the impotency diseases because impotency is related
more with emotional and physiological deficiency rather
than physical deficiency. ED or Erectile dysfunction
is a condition where a man is unable to get and keep
an erection.
Erectile dysfunction
is a long-term, recurrent medical problem needing proper
diagnosis and treatment. About 189 millions people are
effecting from ED worldwide. Erectile dysfunction is
far more widespread than it is assumed. It can occur
to any man of any age group. There are two types of
reasons. They are physical and psychological problems.
Physical problems like accidents, stroke, surgery
or tumors hurting brain areas or areas in the spinal
cord responsible for erection impulses. Multiple sclerosis,
a disease hurting the isolating sheets around the
neural fibers in the brain and spinal cord, can give
erection problems. Atherosclerosis caused by age or
an unhealthy lifestyle, giving narrowing and hardening
of blood vessels to the genital region can cause ED.
Peyronie's disease, a common inflammatory disease
causing abnormal bending or twisting of the penis,
and sometimes also hinder the filling of blood into
the erectile bodies, sometimes gives problems for
the erections. Side effects of medicines, such as
drugs taken for high blood pressure or depression
can also cause ED. Other than this zinc deficiency,
heart disease, diabetes causing injury to the nerves
and blood vessels to the penis, high blood pressure
(hypertension), alcohol or drug abuse impairing psychological
and neural functions can also cause ED.
Psychological issues account for about 40% of erection
problems. Erection problems in men under age 50 are
most likely to be caused by psychological factors.
Psychological causes of erection problems includes
anxiety for not being able to perform sexually as
well as the partner demands, prolonged emotional upset,
such as worrying, anxiety or anger due to a man's
economical, professional or social situation, a man
who looses sexual desire for his partner may develop
erection problems.
The treatment of ED depends on the cause of ED. If
it is caused by any physical problem than erectile
dysfunction drugs like Sildenafil or viagra, Vardenafil
or levitra, and tadalafil or cialis are prescribed.
They are taken orally as per the doctor’s advice
and prescription. They work by blocking the action
of pde5, which causes cGMP to degrade. This cGMP causes
the smooth muscle of the arteries in the penis to
relax, allowing the corpus cavernosum to fill with
blood, and thus achieve an erection. In some cases
surgeries are conducted to treat ED. Surgical intervention
for a number of different conditions may remove anatomical
structures necessary to erection, damage nerves, or
impair blood supply. If there is a case of ED caused
by psychological problem than to much extent it is
cured by sex counseling of both the male and his female
partner because the female partner can help with the
techniques, which include gradual development of intimacy
and stimulation. Such techniques also can help relieve
anxiety when ED from physical causes is being treated.
Sex counseling is an important part of erectile dysfunction
management. There are many professional sex counselors
who are skilled in working with patients of ED.
See, the term ED may look small but the problem is
not at all small. It has the potential to ruin you
and your family life. Hence, it is better to take
care of it in the initial stages, keep an open mind
and keep positive approach towards curing ED and the
most important thing is to take proper medication
and discuss with your partner and healthcare expert
to find a solution as it will surely help you.
