Erectile Dysfunction – Things You Wanted to Know
Erectile dysfunction (ED), commonly known as impotence is a frequently reported sexual problem in men. The condition refers to the inability in a man to achieve or maintain an erection long enough to complete satisfying sexual intercourse. Experts believe that most men at some point in their lives experience an episode of erectile dysfunction, however the condition is considered serious only if a man faces erection problems on a consistent basis.
Living with ED – Is it a disease?
Men suffering from erectile dysfunction often feel depressed because of their inability to have sex. They lose their self-esteem and become withdrawn from their partner. Many men do not even discuss the condition with their doctor as they hesitate in discussing their sexual matters because of the taboos associated with erection problems. Experts suggest that man need not suffer because of ED as the condition can be treated easily today. Also, men should not feel that ED is a disease. Your erectile dysfunction can be a manifestation of an underlying disease or condition, so you must always consult your doctor and get yourself diagnosed. By treating the underlying condition, your erection problems may well be resolved.
Is ED a part of getting old?
Erectile dysfunction is commonly reported in men above 65 years of age. But this does not mean that ED is an inevitable part of ageing process. The incidence of ED is higher in older men because elderly men are more likely to suffer from medical conditions such as vascular disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol that may interfere in the natural process of erection and lead to impotence. Also a number of medications prescribed for these conditions can also cause impotence. A large number of younger men are also affected with erection problems. However, in younger men the cause of impotence is usually psychological in nature.
Can ED be prevented?
Erectile dysfunction can be prevented in men who are at risk of developing ED because of personal behaviour. For instance, men who smoke or drink excessively may prevent ED by changing their lifestyle and limiting their consumption of alcohol and cigarette. Besides, in many cases erection problems caused due to relationship problems and performance anxiety may be avoided by communicating more with your partner and by bringing more intimacy in your relationship. However, other causes of ED may not be preventable.
What difference can a doctor make in treating ED?
Many men hesitate in discussing the condition with their doctor as they feel too embarrassed to discuss their sexual problems. However, experts believe that men need not feel so shy in discussing the issue. This is because, ED is a frequently reported sexual problem, and your doctor is quite used to discussing the matter. To diagnose the condition, your doctor will discuss your medical and sexual history. Only a standard physical examination is usually needed to find out if there is any problem in the penis. You may also be requested laboratory tests on blood and urine to help identify any underlying medical cause that may need treatment. Depending on your condition, your doctor will suggest the most appropriate ED treatment. You may choose any that you find convenient.
