Symptoms of ED

Regular inability to get erection and have a sexual intercourse is the main symptom of ED.

There are several ways to analyze erectile dysfunction. A full erection while asleep and inability to achieve erection when needed says that the reason is psychological (while asleep a person does not have negative thoughts and psychological issues).

Another great factor that causes ED is diabetes. Millions of people suffer from his disease around the globe. 

In general, causes of sexual dysfunction can vary: anti-depressants and nicotine are the most spread influencing factors.

A neurogenic disorder, or inability to communicate with others easily because of impairment of nervous system, can also influence person’s confidence and erection.

A painful and hardly treated cause of erectiledysfunction is chronic inflammation of the penis.

As for psychological reasons, they are numerous. Stress, negative thinking and feelings, anxiety, mental disorder, etc.

Difficult surgery with long postsurgical period and hard recovery may cause problems with potency.

Natural reason is aging. Men in their 60s are in a high-risk group and most of them have sexual disorders, while men younger than 40 still have no problems with potency.

Issues with kidney. Kidney is very important organ and any issues with its functioning influence the whole body.

Multiple Sclerosis, or MS. It is not proven, but possible that this disease influence sexual health of a man. It influences both the blood flow and nervous system and in such a way affects the sexual health as well.

And of course it is a question of lifestyle. What you eat and what you drink, where you live and what activities you are involved in – all that factors influence your sexual health.

Erectile Dysfunction

An inability to achieve and maintain erection called Erectile Dysfunction. It is a sexual disorder that any man can suffer from. Sexual performance becomes impossible that leads to a number of issues with health and psychological problems.

Penis has sponge-like bodies that contain blood. When blood flows to these bodies, hydraulic effect appears and as a result, a man has a penile erection. The process starts with a foreplay – a brain transmits signals to nerves in the penis. That leads to sexual arousal.

Sexual disorder has different causes – cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, neurological issues, hormonal imbalance or hypogonadism. Sometimes smoking, taking drugs and alcohol can be a reason of erectile dysfunction.

These are physical reasons for Erectile Dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction can be caused by psychological issues. In such case a man can’t achieve hard erection mostly because of negative thoughts, bad mood or feelings. It is a less common situation, but still, it happens to some men. Notably, very often ED with psychological reasons can be treated easily with placebo effect.

First and the most important step in ED treatment is taking a course of drugs that contain PDE5 inhibitor. The very first drug that comes to my mind is Viagra, that contains Sildenafil. This is the most convenient oral way of taking medicines. Another option is taking prostaglandin tablets in the urethra. In some cases doctor can prescribe injections into penis. The worst way of treatment for most men is a penile prosthesis or a penis pump. If nothing helps, a patient will have a surgery.
