Leading Causes for Erectile Dysfunction

For a man,...there is nothing worse than being in the heat of the moment where fireworks and passion are flowing and then it happens...like a hot air balloon, he deflates. The junk in his trunk has fizzled. Needless to say this can shoot a mans ego straight to hell. Nothing is more dreadful or embarrassing than this and he struggles trying to understand WHY? Well, there are a lot of reasons fellas so don't beat yourself up until you research and visit your doctor for a check up. I cannot imagine what one must go through nonetheless I empathize with any gentleman that this happens to.

When a man has difficulty maintaining an erection, this is known as erectile dysfunction (impotence). In order for a man to maintain an erection, the penis needs to fill with blood and keep the blood in the penis during the erection. This information that I am about to share with you will look at several causes of erectile dysfunction, which include glucose levels, venous leak, neurovascular function, testosterone, nocturnal erections, and psychology.

Glucose levels: It appears that when the blood sugar level drops in men, so does their penis. The lower a man’s blood sugar is, the worse the symptoms of impotence. If the man receives the proper treatment to treat the diabetes, he may also be helping the erectile dysfunction.

Venous Leak: If there is a leak in the blood vessels, this will allow blood to escape. Blood flow is essential to maintaining an erection. Your medical health care professional can help you in finding out the cause of the dysfunction and discuss options with you.

Neurovascular Function: For an erection to be maintained, the nerve signals have to be working correctly. If there is a problem the penis will not receive the right signal regardless of how hard a man tries to correct the problem. If this is the cause, you may also find that the feeling in your penis may be diminished. Several medications on the market can aid in erectile dysfunction due to vascular or nerve problems. Some other conditions associated with neurovascular dysfunction:
  • Arteriosclerosis can reduce blood flow
  • Diabetes can interfere with nerve signals
  • Peripheral neuropathy spinal cord injury can damage nerves
  • Psychological Factors can lead to erectile dysfunction
Testosterone: This is the male hormone and you will very rarely find it lacking in men. However, if you are experiencing a decrease in your sexual appetite this may be a contributing factor.

Nocturnal Erections: Men who are potent have spontaneous erections during the night and you may or may not remember them.

Psychology: If you are experiencing a sexual dysfunction, psychological factors may be a part of it to some degree. You and possibly your partner may be given a questionnaire to help determine what emotional and psychological factors may be contributing to your condition. 

Changes in lifestyle, medications, and possibly surgery could be required to manage erectile dysfunction. Are you stressed out? have you started a new job or are you changing career paths? This has a lot of impact on your lifestyle and your health. The ultimate goal of treatment is to restore your ability to maintain an erection. Treatment may also include researching other options that may be available to enhance your sexual experience.

Your nervous system, blood circulation, and your emotions all communicate with one another to produce an erection. Men, who are 65 years old and older, will experience an increase in erectile dysfunction as one or more of the symptoms mentioned do not function properly. If one or all of these functions stop, you may experience the following symptoms: a less firm penis, fewer erections, and decreased spontaneous nighttime erections.

Did you know that a man’s penis is made up of tubes that contain sturdy linings? Yep... The linings are made to hold copious amounts of blood, which creates ample pressure to sustain an erection for a certain length of time. When the penis is stimulated and an erection occurs, normally the blood vessels that empty your penis constrict and this prevents the blood from leaving. The blood vessels within your penis expand to receive more blood.

When you make the appointment to speak with your doctor about erectile dysfunction, he or she will perform an exam. You will also be asked to fill out a questionnaire explaining your symptoms and medical history. Before your appointment, it would be wise to make a list of all the medications you are taking, as you will be asked for a comprehensive list of such medicines. Your doctor will ask very specific questions about your erections such as the number of erections you get, how long do they last, how hard are they and so on. These questions may be uncomfortable but are necessary so that the proper diagnosis is made.

When something like this happens, I understand that most men get aggravated and want to just walk away, or crawl under a giant rock... Don't. You need to talk to your partner so that he/she is aware of this issue. It helps to talk about it and although you may think that it is the end of the world, relationship are built on more than sex alone and this little problem can be fixed!
