Erectile Dysfunction And Alternative Remedies

 

Men are more sexual than women in terms of attitude and how they respond to certain sexual ideas. During sexual intercourse, men experience an erection due to physical and mental stimulation with their partner, which is considered normal and healthy. It is considered easy for them to have an erection if the events taking place are sexually stimulating for them.

 Unfortunately, some can experience a slight difficulty in having an erection when there is a need to have one. Sexual impotence, also known as erectile dysfunction or ED, is a health condition wherein a man is unsuccessful in achieving or maintaining an erection long enough to satisfy his sexual urge. Men with such a condition would experience the consistent inability to have an erection during sexual intercourse, having their erection fail at a crucial point during sex, problems ejaculating, or the occurrence of having very brief erections.

 Sexual impotence is one of the most common sexual problems and affects almost half of all men over 40 years of age. This can evolve into a more severe condition as men get older. Having less education will increase the impotence of men, since they are likely to have a less healthy diet (drinking more and having no exercise), and a less healthy lifestyle. Also, because of shame and fear of social stigma, men are less likely to seek medical help for this condition. The condition can be temporary or permanent but is nonetheless distressing for the sufferer. Impotence can stem from a psychological problem, mainly caused by mere stress or observance of performance anxiety, but certain cases can be attributed to various physical injuries or illnesses.

 There are several causes of impotence known today. Some medications can cause erection difficulties as a side effect. Examples include high blood pressure medications, anti-depressants, cancer treatments, diuretics, and epilepsy medications. Always inform your physician if this scenario happens, so that he may give you a different medication. Men who have diabetes (Type 1 or Type 2) are also prone to impotence since diabetes contributes to the damage of blood vessels that cause certain nerve damage called peripheral neuropathy. Other health conditions such as prostate cancer, diseases of the nervous system, and Peyronie’s disease also contribute to reasons for impotence. Having been injured in the spinal cord, or sex organ or having a pelvic fracture can also lead to this condition as well. Surgeries done near the nerve pathways of the penis (bladder, rectum, and prostate) can also cause nerve damage to the penis, resulting in erection failure. Smoking, alcohol abuse, illicit drug use, and prolonged exercise are also reasons for impotence since these factors cause impairment to the nervous system in various ways.

 Psychological reasons for impotence involve stress and anxiety, problems with your relationship, and fear of failure (performance anxiety). By seeking help to control the stress, or by counselling, you can decrease the chances of having impotence. Always inform your physician regarding any symptoms or irregular sexual responses so that proper treatments can be performed.

  Conditions of ED can occur at any age, but they are more common in elderly men. In fact, the majority of the male population experiences occasional difficulty in having or maintaining an erection. In many situations, it is a temporary condition that may disappear with minimal or no treatment at all. Aside from the ageing process, ED can also be caused by psychological or physical factors. Psychological factors are commonly caused by anxiety, stress, depression, and dissatisfaction with a partner. Physical factors, on the other hand, can include any ailment that prevents the nervous system from responding to arousal. Injuries to the spinal cord, damage to the nerves in the genital area because of diabetes or surgery may cause ED. In addition to these factors, lifestyles that involve excessive alcohol ingestion, smoking, or unhealthy diets may lead to impotence.

 

However, there are many herbal remedies that are on the market that are proven to treat ED. These alternative medications are available in different dosages and may include Tongkat Ali and horny goat weed. These two herbs are considered the world’s most effective aphrodisiacs. Tongkat Ali (Eurycoma Longfolia) is a flowering plant that can be found in Malaysia and Indonesia. Historically, this plant in its natural habitat was used as a herbal folk treatment for various sexual health problems like sexual dysfunction and erectile dysfunction. It has also been used throughout time as a natural sex enhancer. Many scientific studies have proven that Tongkat Ali helps boost libido and testosterone levels, which in turn may improve sexual performance. On the other hand, horny goat weed (Epimedium) works by improving the blood flow to the penis, which then enhances sexual pleasure and performance. It also helps men increase their stamina, last longer during sex, and reduce premature ejaculation.

Despite the existence of these products, men are still encouraged to talk to doctors and other medical specialists so that they can weigh the advantages and disadvantages of these herbal remedies. Erectile dysfunction can be treated, but it should be done under the close supervision of medical professionals. Improving sexual health by changing lifestyles, improving diets, or including exercise programs in routines should be prioritized rather than seeking medical or alternative help.
