One in every ten men is effected by erectile dysfunction. Thankfully in most cases the problem is easily cured and the majority of men can continue to lead a sexually active and satisfying life.
What is ED?
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is defined as the ‘repeated inability to get or keep an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse despite being aroused.’ Keep in mind that the ‘occasional’ inability to achieve an erection is not a problem, the problem is significant only when it is a constant issue.
What are the symptoms?
The symptoms vary drastically. Essentially it is a lack of adequate flow of blood into the penile area that results in a weak erection. In normal circumstances, veins carry blood into the spongy tissue of the penis and keep it blocked there until the man ejaculates. Any obstruction in this flow of blood will result in erectile dysfunction.
Who is at risk?
- Ed is likely to occur in those who suffer from medical issues such as heart diseases, high BP, obesity, nerve damage, injury to pelvic area, prostrate surgery and substance abuse.
- Those who have crossed the 65 year mark are highly susceptible to the disease.
- Those who are prone to depression, stress, anxiety and other such problems can fall prey to ED too. In fact, medication prescribed for these problems is often known to affect the flow of blood to the penis.
- Those with a family history of ED are definitely more susceptible to falling prey to the problem.
There are several signs that can help in diagnosing the problem. Loss of interest in sex, dropping frequency of sex, frustration, lowered intimacy with partner, poor erection, premature ejaculation and even an erection that does not sustain for long are all signs of erectile dysfunction.
Treatments
There are lots of treatments that can be used to cure ED. There are prescription drugs like Viagra Levitra and Cialis that are said to be effective, though they do have their side effects. There are surgical options, needle injection therapy, penis pumps and penis exercises that are also available.
Among all these solutions, natural herbal pills, such as MaleExtra and its ingredients have been known to be quite effective in treating erectile dysfunction for centuries and that is why we highly recommend it.
