Enhance your sexual Health
Impotence or erectile dysfunction (ED) is a serious
sexual health problem in men. It is the condition where
men are unable to achieve or maintain firm erection
needed for satisfying sexual intercourse. The term impotence
may also be used to describe other problems associated
with men’s
sexual health, such as decreased libido and problems
with ejaculation or orgasm.
ED is one of the most common sexual health problems
and affects around more than 50% of men between the
ages of 40 and 70. In fact, ED becomes more common and
severe as men ages but the various studies made on the
subject has revealed that most men face the challenge
of ED at some point of their life and it is a medical
condition and not just a process of aging.
ED is treatable but men do not feel free to seek medical
assistance to treat it, but the awareness towards it
is increasing and more men are seeking help and regaining
their lost sexual strength.
Usually, the most common cause of ED is damage to
nerves, arteries, smooth muscles, and fibrous tissues.
70% of ED is reported due to physical ailments like
diabetes, kidney disease, chronic alcoholism, multiple
sclerosis, atherosclerosis, vascular disease, and neurologic
disease. Excessive alcohol intake, obesity and smoking
are other vital aspect that causes ED.
Health experts believe that psychological factors
like stress, guilt, low self-esteem and sexual failure
anxiety can cause ED in men and medicines for blood
pressure, antihistamines, antidepressant, tranquilizers
and appetite suppressant can cause ED as a side effect.
As far as the treatment is concerned, physicians mostly
suggest the lifestyle change like quitting smoking and
reducing alcohol intake, losing excess weight and increasing
physical activity may help some men regain their normal
sexual life. If you are taking some other medicines
that can cause ED, you can ask your doctor for alternative
drugs.
Next option is the use of anti-ED drugs. These drugs
can be taken orally, injected into the penis or inserted
into the urethra. Cialis,
is a common anti-ED drug which has been approved by
U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Cialis come under a class of drug called phosphodiesterase
inhibitors, and works by relaxing the smooth muscle
of the blood vessels thus increasing blood flow in the
penis in response to sexual stimulation. It should be
taken an hour or half before sexual activity and the
effectiveness remains in the body for about 36 hours.
Cialis
does not enhance sexual desire in men and needed sexual
stimulation and foreplay to act more promptly and effectively.
Apart from lifestyle changes and drug therapy, men
can treat ED by taking sexual counseling or sex therapy,
vacuum therapy and penile implant surgery.
