Erectile Dysfunction

Topic Image

A debilititing disorder, which affects the couple as well may affect the whole of the family. . 

It is a condition where the man is unable to get an erection or is unable to maintain his erection during the length of the sexual encounter, resulting in sexual dissatisfaction of the man as well as his partner. 

When a man expresses his problems with his erection; the first reaction he might face from anybody is . "It is psychogenic, it happens because of tension." But ED caused by psychogenic causes or stress comprises only about 30 % of all ED cases. 

Multiple physical as well as interpersonal factors can predispose a man for ED. 

It is true that it affects the aging propluation more often, but men as young as late thirties may also suffer from ED. We have talked about comon causes like diabetes, hypertension, thyroid deficiency multiple times and because these conditions are thought to be life style disorders;

Life style modification or assuming a health life style starting from your late 20s is of vital importance in prevention of ED. Like all chronic conditions, prevention is better than cure, rather prevention is easier than Cure ! 

At the same time, one should not ignore the role of Premature ejaculation as a cause of ED. 

IT may be difficult to dilineate the two conditions and it might be baffling how to treat, when both conditions get mixed and form a vicious cycle where one leads to another and vice versa. 

A sexolgost needs to evaluate these patients carefully and the patients need to keep some patience while they undergo therapy.  The conditions which have a long and deep rooted origins, also take a while to get remission. A patient must seek to get well educated about his condition, understand and cooperate with his therapist.
