Erection problems affect approximately 75% of men between the ages of 25 and 75. Despite the fact that erectile dysfunction (ED) is a very common sexual dysfunction, it continues to arouse doubts and shame to the point where specialized consultations for its diagnosis and treatment are postponed.
When a man receives a stimulus that excites him, his brain triggers a signal that goes from the spinal cord to the penis, passing through the nerves of the pelvis. In turn, these nerves generate a series of chemical signals that cause dilation of the arteries and facilitate access of blood flow to the male genitalia, causing it to increase in size.
Afterwards, the blood pressure inside the corpus cavernosum is increased and the penis becomes rigid. Finally, the veins of the penis end up compressed by the pressure of the blood and the tunica albuginea, which is a fibrous membrane that covers the testicles, thus maintaining the erection. In these processes, testosterone, which is the male sex hormone, also plays an important role.
Therefore, taking into account this mechanism, “any problem that affects the brain, spine or spinal cord, erector nerves, spongy tissue or tunica albuginea, arteries, veins or testosterone production can make it difficult to achieve a normal erection,”
In addition to erection problems, there are other very common sexual dysfunctions in men, such as premature ejaculation and delayed ejaculation. Therefore, it is important to distinguish between impotence and sexual dysfunction. Although some drugs like Super Kamagra (Sildenafil Citrate and Dapoxetine) are designed to treat both symptoms (erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation) at the same time.
Erectile dysfunction, in particular, causes difficulties in having or maintaining erections, and majority of men will experience an episode of erectile dysfunction in their lives between age 40 and 70.
Unfortunately, 20% of cases do not go to the clinic because they are ashamed or directly unaware that there are treatments that can solve erectile dysfunction.
In the long term, erectile dysfunction can affect the couple’s relationship. But, without a doubt, the biggest problem is that men usually postpone the visit to Urology, which is where they could find the solution to this problem.
Although only between 20 and 50% of cases are purely psychological, psychological involvement is also present in 80% of cause erectile dysfunctions. In this regard, Dr. Viladoms adds that “although an erectile dysfunction is of physical origin, from the moment erection failure begins, psychological problems appear that maintain and frequently aggravate the problem .”
Erectile dysfunction can be caused by one or several factors, which can be physical, psychological or both at the same time.
Physical causes of erectile dysfunction include:
In any case, whatever the origin of the impotence, it can be made worse by the feelings that can arise related to this sexual dysfunction, such as guilt, anticipatory anxiety and low self-esteem.
It is not correct to relate impotence as something normal in aging. The fact of getting older does not have to imply erectile dysfunction. Precisely, erections can be maintained until the age of 90, although they may need greater stimulation.
A large part of the cases of erectile dysfunction can be prevented by replacing certain toxic habits. Erectile dysfunction is a very frequent consequence of years of tobacco abuse and excessive alcohol consumption, so if we eliminate toxic habits our physical condition in general will improve and in particular, erection.
