Understanding Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is one of the most common sexual health problems that men experience. During a normal erection, the brain sends a signal to the spinal cord to enhance blood flow into the pelvic region. Following this, blood fills the penis, which causes it to grow erect. When this fails to happen, erectile dysfunction develops. ED is defined as any sort of difficulty obtaining or maintaining an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse, which can include individuals who only occasionally experience dysfunction or can get partially erect.

SOME OF THE CAUSES OF ED INCLUDE:

 The causes of ED tend to be brought on by things that affect either the nerves—which create signals in the body to increase blood flow. However, there is a wide range of reasons why an individual may experience ED, including:

  • Alcohol or substance abuse
  • Damaged blood vessels
  • When blood flow is limited or harmed nerves
  • Stress or emotional problems
  • Hormone deficiencies 
  • Neurological system impairments
  • A sign of a more severe illness such as diabetes, atherosclerosis (hardened or blocked arteries), heart disease, etc.

The Truth About Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction remains a topic that is not often discussed despite its prevalence. Because of this, misinformation runs rampant. Below you will find some common misconceptions about ED, and the truth about this common condition. 

MYTH: Very few men suffer from ED.

FACT: Almost every male has had the experience of being unable to keep an erection long enough to engage in sexual activity. Your ability to achieve and maintain an erection can be affected by stress, lack of sleep, and excessive drinking. The good news is we offer individualized treatment that can help.

MYTH: ED looks the same for everyone.

FACT: Some men mistakenly believe that because they can get firm, they don’t have ED. However, erectile dysfunction presents itself in a wide range of ways.

You can have ED if 1.) you can attain a hard erection but lose it quickly, 2.) you can penetrate but then lose your erection, or 3.) you have a very soft erection. If you notice any changes in your ability to get or stay firm, we can help you. Our doctors can assess your condition and create a customized treatment plan tailored to your needs.

MYTH: ED is just an inconvenience, and not something I need to worry you about.

FACT: ED is serious. Research shows that blood vessels in the penis are smaller and begin to shrink long before those in the heart or brain. Because of this, ED may be one of the earliest indicators of a more severe health issue like high blood pressure, diabetes, or heart disease. 

Don’t put off booking an appointment. Our certified professionals can determine whether your ED is due to a health condition and help you get the relief you need.

MYTH: Viagra is the only treatment option.

Once our ED doctors determine the underlying causes of your ED, they will present you with the most effective treatment options available and answer any questions you may have.
