About erectile dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction also known as ED or impotence is a common sexual dysfunction occurring in men usually at a later age. This means a man cannot obtain a full erection or have an erection throughout the intercourse. This can affect them at any point in their lives. Temporary erectile dysfunction could be a result of excessive alcohol consumption, tiredness, or a result of some mental health concerns such as anxiety and depression. Recurring episodes of erectile dysfunction need medical attention. ED can be of two types:
- Organic erectile dysfunction
- Premature ejaculation
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is often caused by physical factors, contrary to the old belief that it was mainly psychological. Conditions like diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, smoking, obesity, and heart disease can impair blood flow to the penis, leading to ED. Psychological factors such as stress, anxiety, or depression can also contribute, and a mix of physical and psychological issues can worsen the condition. Certain medications for high blood pressure, depression, and prostate disease may also trigger or aggravate ED.
Erectile dysfunction Symptoms
It is important to understand that occasionally erectile dysfunction is ok as people might not achieve an erection all the time due to various factors. However, if this is a recurring condition then there are chances that you might have Erectile dysfunction. Here are some symptoms of ED:
- Inability to achieve an erection
- Trouble maintaining an erection during sexual activity.
- Reduced sexual desire or libido.
- Erections that are not firm enough for penetration.
- Failure to achieve spontaneous erections, especially during the night or in the morning.
Erectile dysfunction (ED) can often be a symptom of various disorders and diseases. Key risk factors include prostate problems, type 2 diabetes, hormonal imbalance, high blood pressure, vascular disease, high cholesterol, and chronic sleep disorders such as sleep apnea. Chronic illnesses, like renal failure, and lifestyle factors such as smoking, which worsens vascular conditions, further increase the risk of ED.
It is important to consult a doctor early when you have these symptoms.
