Yes, erectile dysfunction is a potentially serious condition. Come on, guys, let’s be serious for a moment and understand what this disorder really is and the potentially serious medical conditions that can cause it. Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a fairly common condition so men in this country need to have adult conversations with their urologists in order to treat this condition properly. Let us at HPFY give you some valuable information that may help you if and when you need it.
Who hasn’t heard a joke about erectile dysfunction or ED? While it may seem minor or trivial, the underlying conditions that can cause it are not. Erectile dysfunction (or impotence) is the inability of men to achieve and maintain an erection during sexual activity. It is a common occurrence for something that is not discussed openly, with more than 3 million cases annually in the United States. This is not a case of a condition targeting older men since it also can occur in young men. While the occasional inability to achieve/maintain an erection is really nothing to be concerned with, when it becomes an ongoing problem, it can place stress on a relationship which can make the matter worse.
The symptoms of ED include:
The arousal process in men involves multiple items to get on board, such as the brain, hormones, emotions, nerves, and blood vessels. This is not a simple process; many things can go wrong!! Not only can medical conditions bring about ED, but stress also. It can even be a combination of mental and physical issues to derail a moment of intimacy. An example would be a minor medical condition that could delay sexual response, leading to stress and making things worse (if possible).
Some common causes of ED can include:
You throw into this list of maladies psychological issues such as depression, anxiety, and stress, and it’s quite the recipe for failure. Before beginning any natural supplement regimen, talk with your doctor or urologist to ensure everything is safe. Be truthful about tobacco use and weight since they can also trigger.
Anyone who has watched a football game or golf tournament on television has seen commercials for prescription drugs that can help treat erectile dysfunction. Discuss these pharmaceuticals with your urologist, and be sure, to be honest with all your other medications. There may be a trial and error to find the proper medication and ed products that work for you.
Some common medications that may be prescribed include:
Other treatments can include penile suppositories or injections at the base or side of the penis. If low testosterone is the cause, testosterone therapy is an option. Talk with your doctor since some of these medications have potential side effects. If anxiety, stress, or depression is the cause, try talk therapy as a treatment option. Non-prescription supplements may also help. You could try the following -
