Defeating Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction is inability to achieve and maintain an erection during a sexual intercourse. This might be accompanied by a tendency to have short-lived erections too. To understand the dysfunction one has to understand how it happens. The person achieves an erection as a result of physical or mental stimulation and this is a result of blood flowing into the penile corpora cavernosa and getting trapped by the tunica albuginea and allows the person to maintain the erection.

In a recent study in US it has been found that more than 18% of the population of the age group above 20years suffer from erectile dysfunction or impotency in varying degree. The study also revealed that these people lead a sedentary life style associated with poor diet, little or no physical work or exercise, lots of television viewing for hours every day. The study has indicated strong link between the erectile dysfunction and their lifestyle without any inhibition. Elderly people are no exceptions but their cases are further aggravated by age related problems like high blood pressure, diabetes. This might be a result of side effects of drugs as well. Injury to the pudenda nerves may have the same effect and result in impotency. Psychological causes such as depression, and phobias might cause impotency towards a particular woman.

It’s not difficult for a good doctor do diagnose erectile dysfunction studying patient history. The nature of the dysfunction and its degree should be found individually for each patient, concerning his social state, lifestyle, profession, mental and moral state. For instance, if the penis is not sensitive to touch and erection doesn’t occur, then most probably the dysfunction is of a psychic origin. Sometimes it happens that ED is a result of disbalanced endocrine system. It can be monitored by the abnormality of the secondary sex characters. Sometimes, defects of the penis or venereal diseases may cause erectile dysfunction as well.
Monitoring of nocturnal erections is also a good way to understand the origin of ED. If normal erections do not occur during sleep then it is more likely the problem of the psychic origin or a reason of weak blood vessels.

Different types of ED are treated accordingly. ED of physical origin that could be caused by diabetes, hypertension and obesity is treated by changes in lifestyle and other means, such as: cutting down on alcohol, quitting smoking, loosing excessive weight and increasing physical.
Counseling and different behavioral techniques help to defeat ED caused by psychological factors. As psychological ED is usually caused by anxiety, learning the technique of self control may come in handy as well.

There are a lot of different drugs that are used to treat erectile dysfunction. Usually they are taken orally. Some drugs are injected into the urethra or directly into the penis. These drugs work by helping in the penile smooth muscle relaxation thus increasing the blood flow into the penis. It strengthens the erection and lets it to last for hours.
