Fear of sexual failure
vanishes with Cialis
Erectile
dysfunction (ED) sometimes referred to as impotence,
is the repeated inability of a man to get or keep an
erection firm enough for sexual intercourse. The term
impotence may also be used to describe other problems
associated with men's sexual activity, such as decreased
libido and problems with ejaculation or orgasm.
ED is caused by a wide array of physical
and psychological factors which affects men's health.
Generally, ED is resulted due to damage to nerves, arteries,
smooth muscles, and fibrous tissues. High blood pressure,
diabetes, heart disease, kidney or liver disease, other
vascular conditions, cigarette smoking, and excessive
alcohol intake, are responsible for restricting sufficient
blood-flow into the vessels of the penis, and thus resulting
ED.
Experts believe that ED affected men may experience psychological
problems such as, low self-esteem, sexual failure anxiety,
depression, stress, guilt, and relationship conflicts.
Moreover, several common medications such as, blood
pressure drugs, antihistamines, antidepressants, tranquilizers
and appetite suppressants may bring ED as a side effect
affecting men's
sexual health.
To some extent, more than 50% of men between the ages
of 40 and 70 can experience ED. Men with ED should know
that it is not just a part of the normal process of
aging rather it is a medical condition. The good news
is that there are medicines and treatment options available
in the market to assist ED affected men.
Oral Medication:
Oral medications such as Cialis (tadalafil), a class
of drugs called phosphodiesterase inhibitors, are the
most common treatment for ED. Taken an hour before sexual
intercourse, Cialis
functions by enhancing the effects of nitric oxide,
a chemical that relaxes smooth muscles in the penis
during sexual stimulation, and allows increased blood
flow into the penis thus making it erect. The effect
of Cialis can last 24 to 36 hours, several times longer
than other anti-ED drugs such as, Viagra and Levitra.
ED patients are advised to undergo a thorough physical
examination and should refer their medical history to
a doctor in order to diagnose the underlying cause of
ED and to identify appropriate treatment.
Cialis is not advisable to men who have suffered a
heart attack within the last six months, low blood pressure,
high blood pressure, severe liver disease, and retinitis
pigmentosa.
The most common side effects of Cialis are, headache,
indigestion, back pain, muscle aches, flushing, and
nasal congestion. In rare instances, men taking Cialis
reported a sudden decrease or loss of vision.
Apart from oral therapy, other treatment options for
ED patients are also available that include sex counseling
or sex therapy, penile injection, intraurethral therapy,
vacuum therapy and penile implant surgery.
However, one should note that before resorting to
any medication or other treatment for ED, some simple
lifestyle changes may improve ED. Here are few tips
that may help in changing your lifestyle:
- Exercising
- Dieting
- Quitting smoking
- Reducing alcohol consumption
- Managing stress and fatigue.
