Erectile dysfunction (ED) explained

For the last ten years, there has been a simple and effective treatment for curing erectile dysfunction. Instead of hiding the problem, you can now take a pill and, in almost all cases, restore your sexual satisfaction.


Definition

Erectile dysfunction is said to exist when you fail to respond to sexual stimulation with an erection or, having become erect, then lose hardness before sexual intercourse is completed. This means there are degrees of failure. A small percentage of men never become erect at all. Some do achieve a partial erection but it is not firm enough to allow comfortable penetration. The rest do achieve varying degrees of firmness for different lengths of time.

The cause in all cases is that either not enough blood flows into the penis to form the erection, or the blood flows out of the penis before it should and deflates the erection. If the problem repeats itself consistently, this is a medical condition and it will not cure itself. Treatment is required.

The majority of men are ashamed and prefer not to ask for help. Some wait for years before consulting their doctor. However, given that most men do find Viagra helpful, this delay is a self-inflicted injury. Having a full medical check-up identifies whether there are any more serious underlying medical conditions causing the ED. That way, you are reassured you receive all the treatment you need for a long and happy life.
