Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction, it happens to all men at one time or another. Defined as the inability to have or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual intercourse, erectile dysfunction (ED) affects more than the esteem of man: it may also disrupt the couple. The woman who grew up with the myth that men are very sexual and they are ready can interpret a problem of erection as a sign that his partner does not like or do not want. It may come to feel responsible for the lack of excitement from his partner.

The lack of information about ED, embarrassment and anxiety can contribute to sexual problems. The past sexual habits, such as masturbation, for example, are not the cause of ED and a transient problem does not indicate a serious or chronic. Fear of failure, fatigue and excessive consumption of alcohol or drugs are all situations that may scuttle the erection in a man who does not suffer physical or psychological problem.

Some medical problems can contribute to erectile dysfunction, eg diabetes, heart disease or kidney or liver. Some surgeries are linked to impotence, for example, surgery for cancer of the colon, bladder or prostate. Some medications can also affect the erectile capacity of men. Several drugs used to treat hypertension, depression or insomnia can cause this problem, but this side effect can often be eliminated by changing the drug or changing dosage.

The man's penis does not fade with age, but he may take longer to get an erection and it is less hard than when he was younger. If you have more difficulty getting or keeping an erection, consider other factors may be responsible: extreme fatigue, stress at work or at home, excessive consumption of alcohol.
