Hello, #MomentumLovers. It’s me, Dr. Drai, talking about sex and sexual health to keep you safe, happy, and healthy. Erectile dysfunction (ED) is frequently referred to as the inability to achieve or maintain an erection long enough to complete intercourse.
Also called sexual dysfunction, erectile dysfunction (ED) is known as one of the more common medical conditions that can affect a man’s sexual performance. Estimates show between 15 and 30 million Americans currently suffer from some form of erection problems.
Several different things can cause these kinds of erection problems, but the most common include excessive stress, recreational or prescription drug use, liver disease (usually form alcoholism), or even from a penile implant that isn’t working properly.
Most of the causes are physical rather than psychological, to begin with, but some estimates show up to 70% have a psychological component as well because erection problems can be crushing to a man’s self-image.
Let’s discuss the common causes of and treatment of Erectile dysfunction:
Common Causes:
For most men, impotence comes from one of many fairly common sources.
Treatment:
Luckily for most men, ED is a curable condition. Several different treatments are available that can make a real difference, even completely reversing the effects.
Physicians typically suggest treatments starting with the least invasive, moving up to higher risk options only after all the low-risk options have been attempted.
If, for example, you suspect that the heart medication you are taking is the problem, telling your doctor may result in his trying a different class of medicine or altering the dosage. Some patients may be suited to have psychotherapy or behavior modifications.
Oral drugs (like Viagra) are often considered next, followed by locally injected drugs. Vacuum devices are often the next step, followed by surgery as a last resort after all other methods have been tried. The dangers involved with surgery make it a last resort.
Keep these things in mind so you can have a happy and satisfying sex life. This is Dr. Drai, reminding you to keep it safe, happy, and healthy. As always visit FeelTheMoment.com to Magnify Momentum with Momentum Intimacy.
