Erectile dysfunction, or ED, is the most frequent sexual condition that men come up with their doctor. It may affect as many as 30 million males.
ED refers to an erection that is too weak or challenging to maintain for sexual engagement.
Even though men occasionally experience erection problems, ED that worsens or happens regularly during sex is abnormal and has to be treated.
With anxiety or other emotional factors as a precursor to a more serious condition, such as atherosclerosis (hardening or obstruction of the arteries), heart disease, high blood pressure, or high blood sugar from diabetes.
If you can pinpoint the cause(s), both your general health and the way your ED is treated will improve. In general, whatever is good for your heart is also good for your sex life.
How Erections Work:
Nerves release substances that boost blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation. The corpus cavernosum, two erection chambers in the penis comprised of spongy muscular tissue, receives blood flow. The chambers of the corpus cavernosum are solid.
The spongy tissues loosen up and trap blood during an erection. An erection results from the penis being stiff due to the blood pressure in the chambers.
A second set of nerve signals that reach the penis during an orgasm cause the penis' muscular tissues to contract, releasing blood back into the circulatory system and causing the erection to disappear.
The penis is soft and limp when you are not sexually aroused. Men may see that their penis changes in size in response to heat, cold, or stress; this is typical and represents the balance of blood entering and exiting the penis.
Symptoms:
It might be challenging to achieve or maintain an erection strong enough for intercourse when you have erectile dysfunction (ED). Your health care physician or a urologist might offer assistance if ED develops into a persistent issue.
