BOOK APPOINTMENTED…What is it?
Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is an intrusive men’s sexual health issue. It effects around 50% of middle-aged men. ED occurs when a man cannot reach a state of erection or maintain it during sexual intercourse. While erectile dysfunction is not known to be life-threatening, the possible health issues a man has that are causing ED cannot be overlooked. Some of these issues may include heart conditions, systematic vascular disease, cancer, etc. Because ED is difficult on a man’s sex life and possibly his relationship, mental health issues have also been known to come from this condition as well.
ED…What does it impact?
ED is most common in men who are 40+ years old. For an erection to occur, there are certain things that must happen at the same time, such as a males excitement paired with both his internal systems and other outer stimulants. Examples of these include the nervous and cardiovascular systems, the brain, and hormones. Men may also not realize that feelings impact this state greatly as well. Different negative feelings can have a negative impact on a man’s ability to have an erection. While the majority of men will experience ED at some point in their lives, no man wants to have to struggle with it frequently.
