Erectile Dysfunction Problems and Common Treatments

Like many sexual problems, erectile dysfunction is one that both the man and the woman will feel the effects of. Some people like to joke about sexual problems but great strain and distress is caused by this problem by many couples.

Although there could be many underlying reasons for the erectile dysfunction, most of the time something can be done to correct the situation. One of the most popular options is to use herbal male enhancement pills.

The problem of erectile dysfunction or male impotence is recognized when a man can't have an erection for a long enough period to complete the sexual intercourse.

There are varying degrees of erectile dysfunction: from the inability to get an erection to erections that only last a short period of time and even to someone who is able to get erection but erratically.

This actually affects more men than is commonly thought and although estimates vary, for obvious reasons, as much as 10% of men in the USA may have this condition.

To treat male impotence, we need to have a basic understanding of how an erection happens; the penis has a large amount of spongy tissue, through which blood vessels run, and some muscle.

When a man is sexually stimulated through touch or mentally, nerve signals trigger a flow of blood from arteries into the spongy tissue in the penis.

This increased blood flow creates the erection then once the erection is no longer required the muscles inside the penis contract which forces the blood back out making it flaccid once again.

If there is any interference with the nerve signals or blood flow that creates an erection, impotence may result. There are medical conditions that can contribute to this problem like diabetes that affect the blood but self induced situations like alcoholism can also be responsible.

If a man has any type of surgical procedure to his bladder, urethra or prostate then sometimes there is damage to the nerves but disorders of the blood or cardiovascular system can also have the same effect. Nerve signals may be altered due to psychological reasons including anxiety and stress.

Dealing with erectile dysfunction means going to a doctor as the first step, because this may help identify an underlying medical condition that should be treated. For many older men, the situation just requires some changes in lifestyle habits like weight loss, giving up smoking and regular physical activity.

There are many erectile dysfunction pills on the market; most of them are produced from ingredients found in Viagra and Cialis. Our recommendation is to use 100% natural solutions only. Read our article on male sexual enhancement pills.
