What
is erectile dysfunction?
Term
watch
Many people confuse erectile
dysfunction with:
- Premature ejaculation which is 'coming too quickly'.
- Retarded ejaculation (delayed ejaculation) which is an
inability of the man to reach a climax.
First, let’s define the
problem. ED means an inability to get a good enough erection to achieve
satisfactory intercourse.
Some sufferers can’t get a
hard-on at all; others get one but it isn’t firm enough to penetrate the
partner; and others can manage penetration for a bit, but then lose it.
Why
does ED occur?
ED is very common, and it
occurs for a variety of reasons and at different ages.
Teenagers
and young men
In younger males, the most
frequent cause is anxiety – particularly nervousness about having sex, about
causing a pregnancy, or about using a condom. A lot of men in this age group
complain that they ‘can’t get on with a condom’ because as soon as they try to
put it on, they lose their ‘stiffy'.
Middle
age
Common causes in this age
group are overwork, stress, guilt and bereavement (ED often happens when a
widowed man tries to form a new sexual relationship). A few cases are due to
diabetes.
Post-middle
age
In this group of men, ED
gets commoner with increasing age. Nonetheless, 70 per cent of all 70-year-olds
are sexually potent.
What
is an erection?
An erection occurs when
blood is pumped into the penis and stays there, making it hard. It generally
happens because a guy is thinking about sex, or because his penis is being
stimulated - or both.
The result is that signals
go down the nerves that lead from his spinal cord to his genitals. They tell
the blood vessels which supply the penis to open up. Blood flows in and the
organ ‘blows up’ like a balloon. A valve mechanism near the base of the penis
keeps the blood from flowing out again – a least, until sex is over.
As you can see, getting an
erection is a complex process. It’s awfully easy for various factors to
interfere with it - for instance, worry, tiredness, too much alcohol or in
later life, narrowing of the blood vessels.
Cases
due to psychological causes
Yes, particularly in the
young. In general, erectile dysfunction is quite likely to be psychological
rather than physical if the man:
- is still waking with morning erections
- Can still get a good erection by masturbation.
Common psychological causes
of erection difficulties include:
- nerves – especially about performing
- guilt – notably if you’re trying to have sex with
somebody else’s wife
- relationship problems - especially if you’re no longer
keen on your partner
- latent gayness – for instance, if you’re a basically
gay guy, trying to have sex with a woman
- depression
- Exhaustion.
In a lot of cases, ED turns
out to be due to a mixture of psychological and physical causes.
What
physical causes are there?
Common physical causes
include:
- deterioration of the arteries – this is a physical
change which is common in older men, including those with high blood
pressure
- diabetes
- smoking
- excessive drinking (hence the phrase ‘Brewer’s droop’)
- being obese and out-of-condition
- side-effects of certain drugs, notably ones for blood
pressure and depression
- Effects of recreational drugs, like cocaine.
Less common physical causes
include:
- excessive drainage of blood from the veins of the penis
(‘venous leak’)
- diseases of the nervous system
- injury to the spinal cord or brain
- major surgery in the abdomen, particularly prostate
operations
- Hormone problems, including excess production of a
pituitary hormone called prolactin (this is rare).
What
treatments are now available?
Treatment depends on the
cause of the ED. For instance, psychological causes may require:
- commonsense advice to one or both partners
- counselling
- psychotherapy
- Relationship counselling.
- Medicinal treatment –Homeopathy helps to cure
permanently
