WHY ED TREATMENT IS SO IMPORTANT FOR MEN
ED or Erectile dysfunction is a common medical condition experienced by at least one of every ten men in their lifetime. It is understandably a source of serious emotional distress in men and in many cases when the cause is identified, it can be managed to a reasonable degree.
WHAT IS ERECTILE DYFUNCTION
ED is the inability to achieve and maintain an erection adequate or strong enough for sexual intercourse. This condition is usually a symptom of an underlying problem but can be caused by simple reasons like; relationship problems, stress, excessive drinking, or even fatigue. While it occurs more frequently in older people, it has been discovered to be very common among young adults of various ages.

NORMAL ERECTION
Normal erection required for sexual intercourse is regulated by three factors in the body which include; the physiological factor, the nerve supply, and blood flow.
When a man is aroused sexually, signals are transmitted to the brain and back to the penis. Blood rushes into the blood vessels in the penis and this engorgement is described as an erection.
A healthy male is expected to achieve and sustain this reaction long enough for adequate penetration and sexual pleasure.
Erectile dysfunction occurs when any condition impedes any of the factors responsible for achieving or maintaining a normal erection. In many cases, ED is caused by poor blood flow to the penis.
CAUSES OF ERECTILE DYFUNCTION
There are several known causes of erectile dysfunction which include; vascular problems that result in a block or narrowing of blood vessels in the penis. Neurological problems can affect nerve impulses to the penis. Other causes include; poor psychological states seen in depression, anxiety, and stress.
Some medications that may cause erectile dysfunction include; antidepressants, antihypertensives, hormones, chemotherapy drugs, diuretics, prostate cancer drugs, anti-seizure drugs, tranquilizers, and many others. Intake of substances like alcohol and recreational drugs can affect the central nervous system or cause serious damage to blood vessels, leading to erectile dysfunction.
WHY IS ED SUCH A BIG DEAL FOR MEN?
The inability to properly enjoy sexual activity is associated with several psychological problems like depression, anxiety, loss of self-esteem, and so on in men and women. The inability to achieve and sustain an erection generally results in frustration and can cause serious relationship crises. It is also important to note that ED is a major cause of infertility in men.
