Understanding Erectile Dysfunction

It is imperative to understand that not all erectile dysfunction problems stem from psychological issues. There may be an underlying medical cause in patients with erectile dysfunction. For example, a man married a woman and later they found out that he is suffering from erectile dysfunction. Concerned and scared, the woman urges the man to seek medical attention. But because of shame and embarrassment to be known that he has an erectile dysfunction problem at such a young age, he did not go to the doctor. Later, he was soon suffering from other symptoms that he did not think relates to erectile dysfunction. The woman persisted to tell him to visit his doctor as their sexual relationship is now being affected by the erectile dysfunction. And finally he did. It was soon found through blood tests and other laboratory tests that he has a tumor growing in his pituitary gland, which was causing a deficiency in his testosterone level. His erectile dysfunction was due to that tumor, and as soon as that tumor was removed, he later began to enjoy a full and satisfying sexual relationship with his woman.

So, to clarify what I have written here, I would like to tell the reader that erectile dysfunction is not all in the head. Although sometimes it is because depression, anxiety and stress can affect a man's libido, it is still very important that patients should have his erectile dysfunction checked as there might be an underlying medical condition that might be chronic. With the treatment of this condition, he can gain back his full erection and maintain it to satisfy himself and his partner.

Erectile dysfunction, in most cases, can be treated. It is a problem that should be addressed and not hidden. It is a problem that once treated can boost a man's self esteem, as this suffers the most because man thinks that masculinity is measured by his sexual performance. There are many helpful drugs now circulating in the market that addresses erectile dysfunction. The most popular choice is Generic Viagra, the first brand name erectile dysfunction medication that came out. Others are Levitra, Cialis, Kamagra, and Vimex (an herbal pill). If these medications do not help a man's erectile dysfunction, there are other methods to try like injecting drugs directly into the penis, vacuum devices that enlarges a man's penis and implantable penile prosthesis. If this does not work yet again, microvascular surgery is another option that a man could try for his erectile dysfunction problem as this procedure is performed to reestablish blood flow into the penis. This is usually done for patients with vascular diseases or injuries.

So men who are suffering from erectile dysfunction do not need to bear it in shame. It should be understood that most men will experience this and that there are ways and methods to cure and treat erectile dysfunction. Gone are the days when men are ignorant and refuse to seek help for their problem. As I would like to say, if you want sex that bad but cannot, then go get something done for it.
