Erectile\ndysfunction (ED) is violation of supplying blood to penis, as a result of which\nit`s impossible to perform sex. Impotence is broader concept that includes ED,\ndecreased libido, and in general can be presented as lack of fertilizing\nability. About erectile dysfunction say when man has difficulty in preserving\nerection of penis during entire sexual intercourse (at any of its stages).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, partners may have problems with conduct of normal sexual intercourse, which often adversely affects psychology of relationships. Erectile dysfunction can occur in man at any age, but there is evidence that more often it develops in patients of middle and older age. Causes of erectile dysfunction can be both somatic diseases (for example, diabetes mellitus, arterial hypertension<\/a>) and psychological.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

In\nmost clinical cases, erectile dysfunction is curable. Treatment of erectile\ndysfunction is prescribed based on identified causes and is selected\nindividually for each patient. In Germany, there are approximately 3-5 million\npatients with presence of erectile dysfunction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is worth knowing about disease?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For\ngood understanding why erectile dysfunction occurs, you need to know how\nerection appears. Tension of penis or erection is provided by cavernous\n(cavernous) bodies, situated inside penis and have cellular sponge structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When male experiences sex arousal, impulses flow from brain through spinal cord and further along peripheral nerves to cavernous bodies, triggering release of vasodilators into them. Here is narrowing of penis veins, reduced blood flow. Combination of it leads to complete erection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Erection disorders: causes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Erection\ndisorders can be caused by two groups of causes: psychological (psychogenic)\nand somatic (organic). Studies of the last 20 years have shown that erectile\ndysfunction is quite rarely caused by purely psychological reasons (stress,\ndepression, behavioral patterns, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At\nthe same time, it became known that about 80% of all cases of erectile\ndisorders are due to any physical (somatic, organic) conditions. These include\ndiabetes, high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol and vascular\natherosclerosis, renal and hepatic failure, thyroid disease, hormonal\ndisorders, effects of operations on prostate gland and rectum, trauma and\ndiseases of spinal cord and brain (stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, etc.), effects\nof pelvic injuries, Peyronie’s\ndisease<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Erection\ndisorders can also be caused by taking certain medications. Persistent erectile\ndysfunction can develop as a result of bad habits such as drinking, smoking and\ntaking drugs. Common opinion, not only among population, but unfortunately\namong doctors, that genital infections and chronic prostatitis can be causes of\nED, has nothing to do with reality and is erroneous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waiting\nfor significant improvement in impaired erection after treatment of chronic\nprostatitis or sexually transmitted infections is completely useless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Erectile Dysfunction Treatment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Today,\nmedicine has made great strides in erectile dysfunction treatment options.\nAfter thorough examination, taking into account individual characteristics, you\nwill be selected best treatment for you. Risk factors for erectile dysfunction\nwill be corrected, which can allow to significantly improve your erection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modern\ntherapeutic arsenal for erectile dysfunction treatments includes drug\ntreatment with tablet preparations, vacuum erectile therapy, injections of\ndrugs stimulating erection in penis, therapy with method of biofeedback<\/a>. Well, in\nthose cases where natural treatment for erectile dysfunction and conservative\nmethods don`t help, problem is best solved with help of phalloprosthetic\nprocedure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
