Diving deep into erectile dysfunctions

There are chances that a person may suffer erectile dysfunction at least once in his life time. The causes can be attributed to stress, weakness, alcohol, or simply not enjoying sex at all.


Age has a marked relation with the number of people suffering with erectile dysfunctions. As people age, the risk of erectile dysfunctions increases, however age here is not a cause as one might like to think. It was found that almost 20% of 50–60 year olds have trouble with their erections compared with 7% of 18–30 year olds.


The two main causes of ED are: physical and psychological. Most medical practitioners will agree that majority of ED cases can be traced back to physical. On the flip side such people suffering with ED soon begin to show signs of anxieties, stress or depression thus making the condition worse.


Let’s look at the main physical causes:

• It was found that almost 25% of men with diabetic condition between ages 30-35 are affected by ED. Of men aged 60-65 with diabetic condition are affected by ED.

• Another reason could be atherosclerosis or damaged arteries which constrict the blood flow to the penile region. Smoking cigarettes is one of the major cause of damage to the arteries. Another cause can be cycling.

• High consumption of alcohol can also damage the arteries leading to the penis. It reduces the testosterone levels.

• Certain drugs prescribed to treat diseases like high blood pressure, heart disease, depression, ulcers and cancer cause side effects that lead to ED.

• Spinal cord injury is another cause of erectile dysfunctions..


The main psychological causes are:

• Relationship conflicts

• Anxiety

• Depression

• Sexual boredom

If you can get an erection while masturbating but not with your partner or you have erections in the morning or night but not during sex time then your ED has psychological causes.

Erectile dysfunction must be one of the most common conditions in America, or, if not the most common, one of the most profitable to treat. However, herbs which improve blood circulation have been used for hundreds of years to help men achieve erection. Medical Health Information discusses some of the most common. http://www.besthealthmed.com/natural_remedies.html

Hi,

I visited your blog through Google and found it to be informative and interesting. Really it's a good blog. Thanks for your valuable efforts.

The first step in the treatment of erectile dysfunction is a physical examination. This is done to rule out disorders such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, kidney disease, alcoholism, or multiple sclerosis, which can cause erectile dysfunction. It is estimated that physical diseases or conditions are the cause of erectile dysfunction approximately 70% of the time.
