Learn What Causes Erectile Dysfunction and Discover the Best ED Cure to Fix It

04/10/2021

Erectile dysfunction - the inability to perform satisfactorily sexually - is experienced by one in five men and is increasingly common with age. The good news is that simple lifestyle changes may be enough to ward off the problem. That's because new research indicates erectile dysfunction is much more common among men with diabetes or other risk factors for heart disease and those who were physically inactive. Regular exercise and a healthy diet may greatly improve erectile dysfunction by reducing the risk factors.

Erectile Dysfunction More Common Than You Think. Many men in mid-life find for the first time they are not able to perform as confidently as they did when they were younger.

Most men by age 40 have experienced inconsistent erections, or sometimes only brief erections.
Over 50 percent of men between 50 and 70 years of age experience varying degrees of erectile dysfunction, though it is not an inevitable consequence of normal aging.

Erectile Dysfunction - You Don't Have to Put Up With It
The great news is there is nothing inevitable about ED. Sex is too important a part of life to just "give up". Research shows maintaining a good sex life (rated as twice a week or more) is actually good for men's health. A top sex expert says in general, men are on a 'five-day cycle' where sex is concerned (ie wanting it every five days) - whereas women are more likely to be on a '10 day cycle'. Post-Viagra, there's no need to feel bashful. Men are now more willing to admit to needing a boost and taking action to get it.

Erectile Dysfunction Causes & Treatments
Erectile dysfunction - also dubbed ED - is the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance.

Most men by age 40 have experienced inconsistent erections, or sometimes only brief erections.
Over 50 percent of men between 50 and 70 years of age experience varying degrees of erectile dysfunction, though it is not an inevitable consequence of normal aging.

Frequent erectile dysfunction can cause emotional and relationship problems, and often leads to diminished self-esteem.

Some form of erectile dysfunction is experienced by:

40 percent of all 40-year-olds
50 percent of all 50-year-olds
60 percent of all 60-year-olds
15 percent are unable to obtain any erections at all

Causes of Erectile Dysfunction

7 percent of erectile dysfunction is caused by disease, particularly:
Diabetes
Kidney disease
Alcoholism
Atherosclerosis
Cardiovascular (angina and myocardial infarction)
Neurological disorders

Between 35 and 50% of men with diabetes experience erectile dysfunction.
10 - 20 percent of erectile dysfunction is caused by psychological factors, notably:
stress
anxiety
depression
guilt
fear of sexual failure
Other causes include pelvic surgery or trauma especially
radical prostate and bladder surgery for cancer
smoking (restricts blood flow in veins and arteries)
Or the side effects from prescription drugs particularly
blood pressure drugs
antihistamines
antidepressants
tranquilizers
appetite suppressants
the stomach ulcer drug cimetidine

Since an erection requires a precise sequence of events, erectile dysfunction can occur when any of the events is disrupted. The sequence includes nerve impulses in the brain, spinal column, and area around the penis, and response.

Many men who experience physical causes for erectile dysfunction also experience psychological symptoms like stress, anxiety, guilt, and depression as a result.

Secondary Premature Ejaculation
After years of normal ejaculation, sometimes the duration of intercourse grows progressively shorter. Some men with severe Premature Ejaculation will ejaculate during foreplay, even before penetration. This can be devastating. Secondary Premature Ejaculation is due to physical causes, usually involving the penile arteries or veins, or both.

Lifestyle Factors and Erectile Dysfunction
The controllable risk factors for arteriosclerosis like:
Being overweight
Lack of exercise
High cholesterol
Cigarette smoking
High blood pressure

Will often produce erectile failure before progressing to affect the heart.
The heart's coronary arteries are 1.5 - 2.0mm in diameter; the penile arteries are 0.6 - 0.7mm in diameter - one-third the size of the coronaries - and can become clogged sooner. Unless there is a change in lifestyle, coronary artery disease may follow impotence within a few years.

What can you do?

Herbal Male Enhancement Products
Herbs that aid normal erections have been known and used for thousands of years since men first saw the vigor and strength of the most sexually active animals and adopted the natural herbs he saw them grazing on for their own natural male enhancement.

Modern science has identified the key active ingredients in the herbs early man and his stallions and goats ate indiscriminately. Those actives can be isolated, extracted, measured, and encapsulated in natural health products which are tested for guaranteed quality.

Thousands of men and women are discovering the benefits of natural sex boosters like tribulus terrestris, horny goat weed, Avena sativa, maca, muira puama, and ginseng, taken as dietary supplements.

Lifestyle Changes to Help Reduce Erectile Dysfunction
Change your Prescription Drug
Discuss with your doctor whether an alternative drug would suit your needs and reduce erectile dysfunction's side effects.

Deal with Stress
Talk to your doctor about stress, anxiety, or depression
Exercise regularly
Eat regular meals low in fat and salt and high in fruit and vegetables
Reduce alcohol intake,
Get adequate sleep,
Taking steps to deal with personal conflict
Stop smoking
Stop alcohol abuse

Oral Medicines for Male Enhancement
Oral medications for male enhancement have changed the whole arena of men's sexual health by making it acceptable to admit to erectile dysfunction and seek treatment. The key ones are Viagra, Levitra, and Cialis.

All three medicines work in much the same way - by enhancing the effects of nitric oxide as a chemical messenger that relaxes smooth muscles in the penis, increasing the amount of blood, and allowing an erection to sexual stimulation.

If you've had a heart attack, stroke, or life-threatening heart rhythm during the last six months or if you are on a nitrate medication, don't take them.
