Known to many as impotence, erectile dysfunction is quite simply the condition when a man is unable to maintain an erection long enough or hard enough, to have sexual intercourse. It is a common ailment among the western world, due largely to stress and anxiety. Impotence is not a true physical impairment, akin more to psychosomatic, erectile dysfunction in the majority of cases, can be cured if the right steps are taken.

Description of Erectile Dysfunction

In the U.S alone, well over 15 million men of all ages and walks of life suffer from this affliction. If you are one of its sufferers, don't feel alone , you are most definitely not. To describe briefly what happens when a penis becomes erect.

The penis itself has two areas of tissue that run simultaneously along the shaft either side of the urethra. As sexual energy or excitation begins to occur, increased blood starts to flow into these tissues. It goes without saying, that with more blood, the tissue becomes firmer until erection occurs. Ejaculation causes the blood flow to decrease and so, the penis becomes flaccid once again.

However, medical conditions such as nerve damage from trauma or surgery, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and other conditions such as stress, anxiety or bad times in a relationship can all hinder your body's complex series of neurological events that cause erections and not forgetting of course, one of the western favourites which isn't really a true cause but can end up becoming one if allowed to go on for too long, alcohol abuse.

Erectile Dysfunction Treatment

As with most cases, treatments often need to suit the individual, there are many root causes for erectile dysfunction so one size definitely does not fit all. With the larger percentage of cases of impotence stemming from the mental and emotional rather than physical, courses in sex therapy are often yield highly positive results.

There are a wide range of new types of medications used to stimulate and increase blood flow to the penis. These are usually of the topical range of sexually enhancing gels and are applied directly to the penis surface, the results have been recorded as nothing short of miraculous in many cases, although they do cost money, so before you dig into your wallet, look around. Some of the more well known products are Maxoderm and Prosolution Gel. Both topical creams, are said to work in 60 seconds.

The more well known drugs that are taken orally, still seem to have stood the test of time. The drugs such as Viagra and Cialis Levitra being two examples. Both Viagra and Cialis Levitra are recommended to be taken on an empty stomach and will usually take up to an hour before the effects start to take hold. They do however, put a heavier burden on the system than topical erection creams. With side effects ranging from diarrhoea, headaches, indigestion and dizziness not unheard of. Plus the recommended dose not being more than once every 24 hours. In addition to these possible side effects, men who have suffered heart problems should avoid them like the plague and they really do put your body through its paces far more than the topical creams. Though thousands of men have been more than happy with the results, the newer safer topical creams seem to be taking centre stage.
