Erection and Its Relation To Aging
Dinner was appetizing, kissing was luscious, her scent was inviting, and
the foreplay was stimulating. But when it came to showing her just who the
man is, the little soldier remains in hiding.
Well there comes a time in every man's life where he must come to grip
with the fact that little Johnny is sometimes shy. This is the time
where a man's self-esteem is most vulnerable.
Erection problems are vastly common among adult men. In truth, nearly all
men experience occasional difficulty getting it hard or maintaining it. In
several cases, it is a temporary condition that will go away with little
or no treatment at all.
While in others, it may be an ongoing problem that may eventually damage a
man's self esteem and harm his relationship with his partner. Thus
immediate treatment is required.
So just how would you know if you have a problem? Well if you have
difficulty either having or keeping an erection for over 25% of the time,
then it is a problem. At one time, erection problems were thought to be
"all in the man's mind," just like womens' PMS. Often times, they
receive unhelpful advice such as "don't worry" or "just relax and it will
take care of itself."
Doctors nowadays believed that when the problem is not temporary or does not
go away on its own, physical factors are often the cause.
Erection problems, commonly known as erectile dysfunction or impotence
refers to a man’s inability to achieve satisfactory erections suitable for
sexual intercourse. This is common to about 25% of the male population.
Men who are experiencing repeated impotence tend to be middle aged men,
mostly common at the age of 60. The problem may derive from a variety of
causes, but aging is the most remarkable factor in erectile dysfunction
associated to the decrease in male hormones. For about 20% of sufferers
the problem is psychological. While one third is due to physically related
diseases and the remainder is the combination of both causes.
In the past few years, the medical community had been committed to
enhancing treatments for erectile dysfunction through a wide range of
alternatives. But how should a man with erectile dysfunction is treated in
this age of vacuum pumps, penile injection, medication and prostheses?
Just like in any other ailment, when a person begins having this problem
continually, physical examination is the first step in the treatment
process. This is done to rule out injury, side effects from medicine or
diseases and disorders such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high
cholesterol, kidney disease, alcoholism, or multiple sclerosis.
A considerable part of the evaluation includes a detailed patient history
that can give the doctor virtual clues regarding the patient's condition
and the severity of the condition. Treatments should be tailored to the
individual, with the severity and cause taken into consideration. Common
treatments include medications, vacuum devices and surgery. Prescription
medications such as Viagra, Levitra, and Cialis are commonly prescribed,
as well as other options such as vacuum devices and surgery.
Vacuum are non-drug options. This is a device which creates a vacuum
around the penis that draws blood into the penis and allows it to engorge,
thus causing an erection.
Surgery can be performed in order to restore blood flow to the penile area
if the vasculature (blood vessels) to the area is compromised. However
surgeries have fallen out of favor in recent years because of the possible
risk of infection due to such invasive procedures.
There are also instances when patients are advised to receive some form of
psychotherapy to help alleviate their condition. Psychological therapy and
behavior alterations are other options to treat erectile dysfunction. This
process targets to alleviate the psychological factors that may have
caused the disorder.
