Having issues with erection from time to time is not usually a cause for concern. However, erectile dysfunction can trigger stress, adversely affect your confidence, and can lead to relationship issues, if the problem persists.
Erection problems may also indicate an underlying medical condition needing medication and a risk factor in cardiovascular disease.
Even though many people are embarrassed talking about erectile dysfunction. Treating an underlying condition is often necessary to reverse erectile dysfunction.
Some of the common questions related to erectile dysfunction have been answered by Prof. (Dr.) Rajeev Sood, MBBS, MS, Mch (Urology).
What is erectile dysfunction?
The inability to get or keep an erection firm enough to have sexual intercourse is erectile dysfunction (ED). Occasional EDs are not rare. Many men experience it when they are under stress.
Frequent ED, however, may be a symptom of treatment-needing health issues. It may also be a sign of emotional or relationship problems that a therapist will need to resolve.
What is the main cause of erectile dysfunction?
Male sexual stimulation is a dynamic process involving the brain, hormones, feelings, nerves, muscles and blood vessels. Erectile dysfunction may be the consequence of all of these issues.
Likewise, stress and mental health issues can cause or worsen erectile dysfunction. Often a mixture of physical and psychological disorders causes erectile dysfunction.
Is Erectile Dysfunction Curable?
There are “reversible” reasons for ED. There are factors that can be avoided, such as medications that cause ED as a side effect, cigarettes, drugs, or alcohol.
ED may also be caused by being overweight, suffering from stress, or experiencing problems with a relationship.
While these factors are harder to remedy, if you can reduce your weight, change your stress, or find ways to work through your relationship problems, then your ED is likely to go away.
- Penile Implants
In order to encourage men with erectile dysfunction (ED) to get an erection, penile implants are devices inserted within the penis. Penile implants are normally prescribed after other therapies for ED could not succeed.
- Vacuum pumps
To induce an erection, this treatment utilizes the formation of a vacuum. When the system is used, blood is drawn into the penis, leading to an erection.
What is the fastest way to cure erectile dysfunction?
ED is also due to blood flow issues. In both preventing and treating ED, ensuring the integrity of your blood vessels can be helpful. By making such lifestyle decisions, such as eating a balanced diet, this can be done.
In initiating the sequence of physical events that induce an erection, the brain plays a key role, beginning with sensations of sexual arousal.
Erectile problems come and go in many cases, and can be improved by improving your overall health. ED may require the use of medications in men with medical causes, such as nerve damage or insufficient blood supply to the penis.
