Erectile Dysfunction is when a man cannot get an erection or cannot
keep the erection long enough to finish having sex. You will also this
condition referred to as impotency and it can happen anytime during a
man’s life however it is more often seen in men over the age of 65.
Many men believe that erectile dysfunction is just a part of growing
older, but this is not necessary true. Yes, you may need a bit more
stimulation in the way of stroking and touching, just a bit more
foreplay than when you were younger. Age should not affect your ability
to get an erection and enjoy sex. You may not be able to every day as
you did with the mere thought of having sex, but sex should be an
enjoyable part of your life no matter what your age.
There are a few physical reasons that can cause erectile dysfunction
which include fatigue, alcohol use, tobacco use, brain injuries, spinal
cord injuries, hypogonadism, liver failure, kidney failure, multiple
sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, radiation therapy to the testicles,
prostate surgery, bladder surgery, and stroke.
There are also a few medical problems associated with erectile
dysfunction, which include diabetes, hypertension, and atherosclerosis.
If you experience erectile dysfunction, you can talk with your doctor
to ensure that none of the above problems are occurring which could be
at the root of your problem.
Erectile dysfunction can be as much an emotional or relationship
problem as it is a physical problem. If you are nervous about having
sex, feel stressed, worried about anything, depressed, self-conscious,
and even if you feel that your partner is not acting positively toward
you it is possible for you not to be able to get an erection.
Just because you have been unable to get a hard-on does not mean that
you will not get it up later. You may just need to relax, switch your
mind to something else, receive more stimulation and try again.
Treatment for erectile dysfunction can be as simple as performing
regular penis exercises that you can find with penis enlargement
program. Your doctor can also prescribe medication and if necessary
recommend surgery.
For the penis to perform properly it needs blood flow. Exercising your
penis can aid in rock hard erections and the more you exercise the
better your erections will become. If the erectile dysfunction is not
caused from any medial or physical condition, then you should begin
exercising and using your penis for sex more often. The old saying, use
it or lose it, can also be one reason that your penis is not
cooperating. Just use your common sense, if you use to be able to run a
mile and now find that you can barely run a block without being worn
out. Then think about your penis. At one time, your penis would have
more than one erection per day and now you are telling him to wait and
only allowing him to get hard once per month. Practice does make
perfect. Get that penis back on track with exercise and sexual activity. |
