Men have no more frequent sex conditions than erectile dysfunction (ED). Up to 30 million men may be afflicted.

Problems achieving or maintaining an erection of sufficient strength to engage in sexual activity characterize ED.

Although it is typical for men to experience temporary difficulties with erections, ED that worsens over time or often occurs during sex should be addressed since it is not natural.

An Erectile Dysfunction Urologist often needs a physical exam and medical history to diagnose erectile dysfunction and propose a therapy.

Possibilities of ED include:

• Usually, it happens when the penis’s blood supply is cut off or when the nerves are injured.
• Because of strain or emotional need
• High blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, or diabetes-related hyperglycemia indicate major health problems.
• Getting to the bottom of your ED’s origins will improve your health and treatment. 

The Physiology of an Erection

When a person becomes sexually aroused, the chemicals released by their nerves cause an increase in blood flow to their penis. In the penis, two chambers of pliable muscle tissue called erection vesicles receive blood (the corpus cavernosum). The compartments of the corpus cavernosum do not lack solid walls.

The soft tissue relaxes and forms a clot around the blood, resulting in an erection. Erections are caused by the penis becoming hard due to the increased blood pressure in the chambers. In the aftermath of an orgasmic experience, the penile erection subsides when the second set of nerve impulses reaches the penis, causing the penile muscle tissues to contract and the blood to be reabsorbed into the circulatory system.

Soft and limp is the penis when a person is not sexually stimulated. Because of the constant flow of blood into and out of the penis, men may notice that its size shifts in response to changes in body temperature, cold, or stress.

Symptoms

An erection that lasts long enough to have sexual satisfaction is difficult to achieve or maintain for men with erectile dysfunction (ED). Your healthcare physician and a urologist can help you when ED becomes chronic and distressing.

There is growing evidence that erectile dysfunction (ED) is a crucial warning indicator of cardiovascular disease, suggesting that a man’s arteries are becoming blocked. Some research has established that males with ED have a far higher risk of cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, and lower-extremity circulation disorders. Additional problems that arise with ED include:

• Having less confidence in oneself
• Depression
• Stress for the man and his significant other

Male impotence (ED) should be addressed if it causes problems in a man’s life or relationships. Treatment aims to improve a man’s erection, circulation, and overall health.
