Erectile dysfunction can occur at any age but is more common in older men, who often have additional health problems or who may be taking medications that may interfere with normal erectile function.
United States of America (Press Release) October 14, 2007 --
Erectile dysfunction, sometimes called impotence, refers to a man's consistent inability to get or maintain an erection sufficient to have satisfactory sex. It certainly does not mean a lack of sexual interest or desire or the occasional difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection that affects all men at some time in their lives.
A properly functioning nervous system that sends the necessary signals to the penis. -An intact system of blood vessels to allow blood to flow into and out of the penis. -Normal smooth muscle in the penis, which must relax so the penis can fill with blood and enlarge. -The ability to trap the blood in the penis so that it stays firm.
Erectile dysfunction can occur at any age but is more common in older men, who often have additional health problems or who may be taking medications that may interfere with normal erectile function. Treatment of erection problems in older men can be just as effective as in younger men. A man's sexual function involves more than an erection, and the term impotence often carries negative implications.What are the symptoms? Well.., the only symptom of an erection problem is the inability to have or maintain an erection that is firm enough to consistently have sexual intercourse. This inability may or may not be related to sexual interest or the ability to have an orgasm and to ejaculate.
What can cause erection problems? The cause of erection problems may be physical or psychological. Medications you are taking for other conditions, too much alcohol, smoking, or illegal drug use also can cause erection problems. There are certain conditions that may affect the nervous system or blood flow to the penis, increasing the risk for erection problems. Some include diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, atherosclerosis, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson's disease.
How are they treated? Treatment often includes lifestyle changes, such as avoiding tobacco, drugs, and alcohol. Discussing the issue with your partner, participating in sensual exercises, and seeking counseling may help. Further treatment may include oral medications (such as Viagra, Levitra, or Cialis), vacuum devices, or injection of medications into the penis. Surgery to place an implant in the penis also is an option. Do not take Viagra, Levitra, or Cialis if you are taking nitrate medications--such as nitroglycerin--for heart problems. The combination of nitrates and any of these medications can lower your blood pressure to a dangerous level. You also should not take certain alpha-blockers (used to lower blood pressure and to treat an enlarged prostate) with these medications because of the risk of a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Check with your health professional to see whether you can take Viagra, Levitra, or Cialis with your alpha-blocker. Better yet, checking into the many forms of "all natural" alternatives can save your life.
