Erectile Dysfunction and Penis Enlargement
Introduction
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the ability to get and/or maintain an erection sufficient to masturbate or have intercourse. ED is an incredibly common condition, particularly in older men.
Causes of Erectile Dysfunction
There are a wide range of causes of both a physical and a psychological nature. Among them are:
- Heart disease
- Diabetes
- High blood pressure
- Stress
- Anxiety
Most men suffer from ED from time to time due to tiredness or consumption of alcohol, which is usually not a problem. However, if ED occurs on an ongoing basis, affecting the love life and relationships, immediate help and advice needs to be sought.
Common Treatments
Synthetic drugs: Drugs containing Sildenafil (Viagra) and Tadalafil (Cialis) have received a great deal of publicity since they were introduced on the market.
Both medications are effective and produce an erection when there is physical and psychological stimulation. However, side effects such as blurring of vision, headaches and nasal congestion should be taken into account when choosing a treatment for ED.
Herbal pills and supplements: The effectiveness of herbal supplements is somewhat questionable, and clinical trials have shown that there is no real benefit.
Some herbal supplements contain the same active compound as Viagra or Cialis but in a considerably smaller dose, leaving said supplement virtually non-effective.
Vacuum therapy using a penis pump: This device helps to draw blood into the penis after which a tension ring is applied to maintain the erection.
Unfortunately this method is not without risk. Vigorous and impatient pumping can burst blood vessels in the penis, which in turn can cause permanent damage.
Surgery: Most commonly used as a last resort, penile surgery involves inserting artificial rods into the penis.
Apart from the prohibitively high cost of the surgery there is a very real risk of further damage to the penis, which essentially worsens the situation and makes further treatment with other methods impossible.
