Erectile Dysfunction
(ED).It is a problem that many men prefer not to talk about.
However, study shows a problem of ED is surely
on the rise.
Erectile Dysfunction is the persistent inability
to attain or maintain a sufficient erection for satisfactory
sexual activity. While many may view the condition as an age-related
one mainly affecting older men, the truth is that ED affects
men from the adolescent stage, right up to,
and after, middle age. However, it is more common in men aged
40 and over and men who are approaching and ropause.
ED, however, is more common than one thinks, with more than
an estimated 100 million men worldwide dealing with the condition.
Another myth is that ED is a natural part
of growing old.
Although there is a higher incidence of erectile dysfunction
among older men because of age-related conditions, including
vascular disease, diabetes
and certain medications, it also occurs in
younger males and should not be considered a natural part
of the ageing process.
Lawson Douglas- Urologist Professor- says
there are four main causes. "The causes are psychogenic
(in the mind) first of all, something is upsetting the man;
second, he can have a vascular problem (blood
not being able to reach the penis); third, a nerve
problem (can be caused by surgery); and fourth, hormonal
problems (they give you the feeling to have sex,
but are not essential in producing an erection, but they can
cause a man not to feel like having sex)," Professor Douglas
explained. There are also some other factors that can lead
to ED like obesity, diabetes and smoking.
Nowadays, the diagnosis of ED involves simpler techniques such as a sexual history, and a medical one. Only standard physical examinations are needed. Laboratory tests on blood, urine and blood pressure can identify the underlying medical causes of ED.
Taking phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors
(PDE5), which are oral erectile-dysfunction
medicines such as Viagra, Cialis
or Levitra, can help solve the
problem. The drug is used to block the degradative action
of phosphodiesterase type 5 that causes a man to lose his
erection.
Professor Douglas also stressed that before taking any of these drugs, a man should always consult his physician.
