This is a fitness and health site, so after a few queries into the subject of erectile dysfunction, its treatments for impotence and the viability of generic viagra…it’s time to touch on the problems and treatments. Erectile dysfunction can not only affect a male’s confidence, but it can also do quite a bit of damage to a otherwise healthy relationship between a couple.

Erectile dysfunction, also known as ED or male impotence, is a sexual dysfunction characterized by the inability to develop or maintain an erection of the penis sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance.

Treatment depends on the cause. Testosterone supplements may be used for cases due to hormonal deficiency. However, the cause is more usually a lack of adequate penile blood supply as a result of damage to inner walls of blood vessels. This damage is more frequent in older men, and often associated with disease, in particular, diabetes.

Treatments

Treatments (with the exception of testosterone supplementation, where effective) work on a temporary basis: they enable an erection to be attained and maintained long enough for intercourse, but do not permanently improve the underlying condition, if there is one present.

ED can in many cases be treated by drugs taken orally, injected, or as penile suppositories. These drugs increase the efficacy of nitrous oxide, which dilates the blood vessels of corpora cavernosa. When oral drugs or suppositories fail, injections into the erectile tissue of the penile shaft are extremely effective but occasionally cause priapism. And, for the most part, the majority of males won’t fall into this category.

Believe it or not exercise, particularly aerobic exercise, is an effective cheap treatment for erectile dysfunction.

Oral treatment

The cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases constitute a group of enzymes that catalyse the hydrolysis of the cyclic nucleotides cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP. They exist in different molecular forms and are unevenly distributed throughout the body. (Sorry about that “medical jargon’, but it makes it easier to get the point across)

One of the forms of phophodiesterase is termed PDE5. The prescription PDE5 inhibitors sildenafil (Viagra), vardenafil (Levitra) and tadalafil (Cialis) are prescription drugs which are taken orally. They work by blocking the action of PDE5, which causes cGMP to degrade. CGMP specific phosphodiesterase type 5 causes the smooth muscle of the arteries in the penis to relax, allowing the corpus cavernosum to fill with blood.

These medications work when there is sexual stimulation. Depending on the treatment, it will need to be taken 20 minutes to 1 hour before sex and the period of time over which it works can vary between 3 hours and up to 36 hours.

Without turning this post into a medical thesis, this is just a bit of information regarding erectile dysfunction and easy to acquire remedies for the condition. This by no means should be taken as medical advice. Always talk to your health professional in any and all cases of low libido and suspected erectile dysfunction.
