Before delving into the nuts and bolts of what's involved with erectile dysfunction let me first point out, if you're suffering from this problem you have nothing to be ashamed about or embarrassed over. Erectile dysfunction is a male matter more common than you could imagine. It is a condition frequently referred to as "impotence." What is impotence? Impotence entails man and his penis. Men experience the inability to get or keep an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse. Impotence also applies to other issues linked to sexual intercourse and reproduction, like loss of sexual desire or problems with ejaculation or orgasm. While men believe erectile dysfunction and impotence both the same thing there are small dissimilarities like lack of sexual yearning, ejaculation and orgasm which say otherwise, therefore the reason for using the term erectile dysfunction to avoid any confusion.

Erectile dysfunction causes "total" inability to attain an erection, an inconsistent ability to do so, or an inclination to maintain only brief erections. Usually you find the older man suffering from ED has a physical cause behind it happening like disease, injury, or side effects of drugs. If an accidental injury is caused through surgery for another health issue and the injury interferes with the nerves or blood flow in the penis, erectile dysfunction is a possible outcome. Incidence increases with age: Approx 5% of 40-year-old males and between 15 to 25% of 65-year-olds experience ED. The good thing is that this condition is treatable and curable depending on circumstance.

After being treated for ED more men are returning back to the bedroom with more confidence, and resuming with their normal sexual activities. These men did also admit that they seen major improvement in their performance resulting in better sex.

What causes erectile dysfunction?

For an erection (stiff penis) it needs a specific sequence of events to function first, but should these be hampered in any way shape or form ED can occur. Nerve impulses in the brain, spinal column, and area around the penis, and response in muscles, fibrous tissues, veins, and arteries in and near the corpora cavernosa are the events what is referred too here. Injured nerves, arteries, soft muscles, and fibrous tissues is usually the outcome of disease, however still regular reasons for causing ED too. Diseases-such as diabetes, kidney disease, chronic alcoholism, multiple sclerosis, atherosclerosis, vascular disease, and neurologic disease is responsible for approx 70 % of men diagnosed.

Certain factors that contribute to heart disease and vascular problems also increase risk of erectile dysfunction. As with many conditions, smoking, obesity and an out of shape body can cause ED. Men who undergo surgery for radical prostate and bladder surgery for cancer are at risk. Injuries are probable in surgeries of this nature where nerves and arteries near the penis may suffer damage.

In addition, particular medications such as blood pressure drugs and antihistamines have caused men to suffer as a side effect. Other possible culprits for causing this are antidepressants, tranquilizers, appetite suppressants, and cimetidine (ulcer drug)

In many cases and understandable too are the psychological sides to why men become affected. Stress, anxiety, guilt, depression, low self-esteem, and fear of sexual failure are accountable for 10 to 20% of sufferers.

Below useful tips

You may not be aware but erectile dysfunction is a regular complication of diabetes. Therefore if you treat your diabetes as suggested by your GP it will help reduce your risk of developing erectile dysfunction.
You mustn't let embarrassment get in the way of seeking treatment. You are not alone in your suffering because at least 80% of men with diabetes suffer erectile dysfunction in comparison to the lesser number of 22% of men without diabetes.

Quit smoking, not only does tobacco cause thinning of blood vessels leading to blockages which can result in this problem, it is seriously a dangerous habit that should be kicked. Aside from ED we have cancer of the lungs and other that can in fact kill.If you carry excess weight then you need to lose it and introduce some physical activity into your day.

If you find after making changes to your lifestyle that the penis droop remains you might consider using oral treatments or injections. Oral treatments help to improve the response to sexual stimulation, while drugs injected directly into the penis cause it to puff up with blood, imitating erection. This is all well and good but nothing beats the real thing so you could look to natural treatments for treating your erectile dysfunction.
