Erectile
Dysfunction and its underlying causes
Erectile dysfunction is explained as a man's inability
to maintain an erection; it can lead to many complexities
in one's personal as well professional life. Do not
befool yourself by myths such as ED is problem of age
isn't treatable. Oral drugs like
Cialis,
Viagra and Levitra have emerged as a successful treatment
for erectile dysfunction. Let's examine the main factors
which prompt Erectile Dysfunction.
What causes ED?
When a man is sexually stimulated, the soft spongy
tissue in the shaft of a man's penis fills with blood
resulting in enlarged penis. The nerve supplies and
the blood flow should
work properly to obtain an erection. When it doesn't
happen, Erectile Dysfunction occurs.
The artery problem
Arteries are the carriers of blood. Sometimes, arteries
freeze and fail to supply enough blood to the penis.
Lack of blood to the penis disrupts an erection causing
Erectile Dysfunction. People who have high
blood pressure or are diabetic face problems with
their arteries which in turn results in Erectile Dysfunction.
The nerve problem
The nerve problem is equally sensitive as the arteries,
nerves affect appropriate penis functioning. An injury
to the nerves around penis can upset a man's sexual
life. Though operations on the urethra or rectum can
treat the nerves, men often take time to learn about
the injury.
The vein problem
Erectile Dysfunction occurs when the veins fail to
block the blood from going out of the penis. Men who
suffer from impotence leak blood through the veins.
The hormonal problem
Hormonal changes in the body affect the male libido.
And the lack of sexual drive leads to underperformance.
Men find it tough to get an erection and it causes
Erectile Dysfunction in men.
The psychological problem
Emotions can hamper the sexual life of men. Over anxieties
about sex related issues and fear over their abilities
to satisfy their partner can cause unnecessary worries
which might make them sexually incompetent. Erectile
Dysfunction is a common problem that men face. When
they don't open up for treatment, the problem worsens
leading to more complicated issues.
Nearly 30 million men in America suffer from Erectile
Dysfunction. With treatments varying from oral drugs
to injections, men should come out and seek medical
help to treat Erectile Dysfunction. It is no more
an embarrassing social situation but a growing medical
problem and if treated early, you can avoid the complexities
attached to it like dampened relationships and lack
of confidence.
