Erectile dysfunction (ED) affects the lives of many middle-aged men and their partners. The term erectile dysfunction covers a range of disorders, but usually refers to the inability to obtain an adequate erection for satisfactory sexual activity.
Although erectile dysfunction, formerly called impotence, is more common in men older than 65, it can occur at any age.
Anyway
What is Erectile Dysfunction?
Erectile dysfunction or impotence is a sexual dysfunction characterized by the inability to develop or maintain an erection of the penis for satisfactory sexual intercourse regardless of the capability of ejaculation. There are various underlying causes, such as diabetes, many of which are medically reversible.
What are the causes of ED:
* Arousal: The first step is sexual arousal, which men obtain from the senses of sight, touch, hearing and smell, and from thoughts.
* Nervous system response : The brain communicates the sexual excitation to the body's nervous system, which activates increased blood flow to the penis.
* Blood vessel response:. A relaxing action occurs in the blood vessels that supply the penis, allowing more blood to flow into the shafts that produce the erection.
Treatment:
An alternative model is the patient goal-oriented approach as suggested by Tom Lue, MD, in which a minimum of testing is performed. The patient and his partner express a preference for reasonable and appropriate treatment options and work with the physician to implement this plan.
The availability of three phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE-5) inhibitors, ie, sildenafil (Viagra), vardenafil (Levitra), and tadalafil (Cialis), has permanently altered the medical management of ED. Many patients no longer expect or are willing to undergo a long evaluation and testing process to obtain a better understanding of their sexual problem, and they are less likely to involve their partner in a discussion of their sexual relationship with the physician.
And there is a Natural alternative way to treat ED also like some herbal remedies, that are famous now. It's just because it has no side-effect and also 100% effective. |
