What is ED- erectile dysfunction?
86610
- Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the inability of a man to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for his sexual needs or the needs of his partner. Most men experience this at some point in their lives, usually by age 40, and are not psychologically affected by it. \n\n- Some men, however, experience chronic, complete erectile dysfunction (impotence), and others, partial or brief erections. Frequent erectile dysfunction can cause emotional and relationship problems, and often leads to diminished self-esteem. Erectile dysfunction has many causes, most of which are treatable, and is not an inevitable consequence of aging. \n\nIncidence and Prevalence :\n- The term "erectile dysfunction" can mean the inability to achieve erection, an inconsistent ability to do so, or the ability to achieve only brief erections. These various definitions make estimating the incidence of erectile dysfunction difficult. According to the National Institutes of Health in 2002, an estimated 15 million to 30 million men in the United States experience chronic erectile dysfunction. \n\nAccording to the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS), approximately 22 out of every 1000 men in the United States sought medical attention for ED in 1999. \n\nIncidence of the disorder increases with age. Chronic ED affects about 5% of men in their 40s and 1525% of men by the age of 65. Transient ED and inadequate erection affect as many as 50% of men between the ages of 40 and 70. \n\nDiseases (e.g., diabetes, kidney disease, alcoholism, atherosclerosis) account for as many as 70% of chronic ED cases and psychological factors (e.g., stress, anxiety, depression) may account for 1020% of cases. Between 35 and 50% of men with diabetes experience ED. \n\nAnatomy of the Penis :\n- The internal structure of the penis consists of two cylinder-shaped vascular tissue bodies (corpora cavernosa) that run throughout the penis; the urethra (tube for expelling urine and ejaculate); erectile tissue surrounding the urethra; two main arteries; and several veins and nerves. The longest part of the penis is the shaft, at the end of which is the head, or glans penis. The opening at the tip of the glans, which allows for urination and ejaculation, is the meatus. \n\n- Physiology of Erection :\nThe physiological process of erection begins in the brain and involves the nervous and vascular systems. Neurotransmitters in the brain (e.g., epinephrine, acetylcholine, nitric oxide) are some of the chemicals that initiate it. Physical or psychological stimulation (arousal) causes nerves to send messages to the vascular system, which results in significant blood flow to the penis. Two arteries in the penis supply blood to erectile tissue and the corpora cavernosa, which become engorged and expand as a result of increased blood flow and pressure. \n\nBecause blood must stay in the penis to maintain rigidity, erectile tissue is enclosed by fibrous elastic sheathes (tunicae) that cinch to prevent blood from leaving the penis during erection. When stimulation ends, or following ejaculation, pressure in the penis decreases, blood is released, and the penis resumes its normal shape. \n- Hope being given first answer i have secured 10 points. am i?......lol.........\n------------------------

I would try working on your self esteem, and if your lady is pressuring you or making you feel worse about it, then you need to tell her to back off.\n\nErectile dysfunctionis like ADD, it doesnt exist and is created by pharmaceutical companies to make money.\n\nYou may just be tired, stressed, or having relationship troubles.\n\nLook into these things and maybe you wont have ED anymore.\n\n\nHeres a question, could you keep it up looking at porn?\n\nIf you answer yes, your problem is one of those things above.

It really depends on the cause of your issue and how lonog it has lasted.  The first thing that I would do is consult a doctor to try to determine the possible causes of the erectile dysfunction then with him try to decide which methods would probably be most effective.  There are always simple aphrodasiacs like raw oysters, and chocolate.  But it might be quicker and less frustrating to get the opinion of a medical professional.

You'll be wasting your money.  There is no evidence that male erectile dysfunction - impotence or the inablity to "get it up and keep it up" is the result of a vitamin deficiency.  \n\nIf impotence is lowering your quality of life, talk to your doctor.  You'll need a physical to determine whether your impotence is due to "natural causes" or a disease process.  Most are due to what we'd call "natural causes" and some are due to chronic illnesses like diabetes.\n\nThe physical will also show whether it's safe for you to try one of the three drugs used to treat the condition.  It'll also help you and the doc decide whether you should try the pump first.  \n\nThe three medicines work quite well for some 60 to 70 percent of affected men.  Some men have agreed to surgical attempts at restoring their flagging libidos, but even in those cases where few other causes for the guys' impotence have been determined, those operations more often than not leave the guy little better off than before the operation.\n\nGood luck, pal.  It ain't an easy thing to deal with to realize you're developing that problem.  It's also hard on your partner!  At least, if you care about each other and want to continue to share intimacy, there are non-chemical assistive devices that vibrate, dildoes, scented massage oils and the like.  And hey - every guy's got one alternative device at hand without spending a penny.  It's that odd thing that sits in your mouth and that you talk with... Learn to use it "creatively".  She'll love you for it!

premature ejaculation is uncontrolled ejaculation either before or shortly after sexual penetration with minimal sexual stimulation and before the person wishes. It may result in an unsatisfactory sexual experience for both partners. This can increase the anxiety that may contribute to the problem. Premature ejaculation is one of the most common forms of male sexual dysfunction and has probably affected every man at some point in his life

I recently did a very interesting research project on ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION for Biology 30.\nIt is quite a relevant topic and sure to be an interesting one to talk about. It can't help but grab people's attention. Hey it grabbed yours didn't it?

Erections are a result of blood engorging the penis therefore an interruption or lessening of blood flow results in a partial or complete loss of erection.  If what you really want to know if why blood flow would lessen, that's tough to say.  A vascular problem, distraction, loss of libido, erectile dysfunction, lack of arousal.  Pick one.

During Sex the vascular system engorges with blood to create the erection.  Unfortunately also the Cranial vascular system also dilates and a migraine type head ache can occur in some people.  The headache syndrome occurs in men who use erectile dysfunction prescriptions also for the same reason. You have heard the old adage of 'taking a cold shower' that was done to accurately lower the blood pressure and the engorged vascular system.  The blood pressure prescription is what most doctors use. You also may be having too frequent sex  or masturbation and stressing your body.   Take it easy, your body isn't a wind up toy............Good luck to you...

apparently there is a correlation between the two things:\n\n"Men with diabetes are 2 times as likely to experience erectile dysfunction as men without diabetes."\n\n"Women with type 1 diabetes are twice as likely to experience prevalence of sexual dysfunction compared with women without diabetes."

Your brain is sending a signal of arousal to your penis.  Blood is then rushed to that area, making it hard.  It just means that you are healthy.  In the long run, you may be less susceptible to prostate cancer, impotence (erectile dysfunction).

Dont you listen to the commercials for Erectial Disfunction?  They state that if you have an erection lasting longer than 4 hours, seek medical attention.  I think the next pill you need to take is truth serum.

Smoking is a huge risk factor for erectile dysfunction - not to mention lung disease and cancer, and heart diseease.  Men who smoke are far more likely to develop erectile dysfunction and get it earlier than men who do not.
