Erectile dysfunctionis the inability to produce and maintain an erection appropriate for sexual intercourse.
It is believed that around one in every ten adult men suffers from erectile dysfunction on a long-term basis.
A person with erectile dysfunction may often struggle to achieve or maintain a strong enough erection to engage in sexual activity.
This may impact not just a sexual activity but also a person's overall quality of life.
Having occasional erection problems isn't usually a reason for alarm.
Having erectile dysfunction regularly may create stress, impact your self-confidence, and lead to relationship troubles.
Problems obtaining or maintaining an erection may also indicate an underlying healthproblem that requires treatment and a risk factor for heart disease.
A doctor often requires a physical exam and medical historyto diagnose erectile dysfunction and propose a treatment plan for many patients.
If you have persistent health problems or your doctor feels that an underlying issue is at work, you may need more testing or a meeting with a specialist.
Underlying condition tests may include:
Physical examination:This could involve a careful look at your penis and testicles as well as a test to see how sensitive your nerves are.
Blood tests:A lab can look for heart disease, diabetes, low testosterone levels, and other health problems in a blood sample.
Urine examinations:Urine tests, like blood tests, detect diabetes and other underlying health issues.
Ultrasound:A professional typically conducts this exam in an office. A wand-like device (transducer) is held over the blood arteries that feed the penis. It generates a video picture that your doctor may use to determine whether you have blood flow issues.
Psychological evaluation:Your doctor may ask you questions to rule out depression and other psychological reasons for erectile dysfunction.
If your erectile dysfunction is caused by stress, anxiety, or depression, or if the condition is causing stress and relationship strain, your doctor may advise you to see a psychologist or counselor.
Erectile dysfunction may be a source of mental and emotional stress for you and your spouse, regardless of whether the reason is medical, psychological, or a mix of the two.
Don't think of erection difficulties as a sign of your health or manhood, and don't anticipate experiencing them again during your next sexual session.
This might generate worry, which can aggravate erectile dysfunction.
Your lover may see your failure to erect as a sign of lost sexual desire.
Your confirmation that this is not the case may be beneficial.
Discuss your situation frankly and honestly.
When you engage your spouse in your treatment, your chances of success increase.
Don't dismiss stress, anxiety, or other mental health issues.
To address these concerns, speak with your doctor or mental health professional.
Organic erectile dysfunction is the most prevalent cause of erectile dysfunction, particularly in older men, and includes abnormalities in the penile arteries, veins, or both.
When there is an arterial issue, it is generally caused by arteriosclerosis or artery hardening.
However, trauma to the arteries may also be the reason.
