Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction, sometimes called "impotence," or male
impotence, is the repeated inability to get or keep an erection firm
enough for sexual intercourse. The word "impotence" may also be used
to describe other problems that interfere with sexual intercourse
and reproduction, such as lack of sexual desire and problems with
ejaculation or orgasm. Using the term erectile dysfunction makes it
clear that those other problems are not involved.
What causes erectile dysfunction (ED)?
Erectile dysfunction, or ED, can be a total inability to achieve
erection, an inconsistent ability to do so, or a tendency to sustain
only brief erections. These variations make defining ED and
estimating its incidence difficult. Estimates range from 15 million
to 30 million, depending on the definition used. According to the
National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS), for every 1,000 men
in the United States, 7.7 physician office visits were made for ED
in 1985. By 1999, that rate had nearly tripled to 22.3. The increase
happened gradually, presumably as treatments such as vacuum devices
and injectable drugs became more widely available and discussing
erectile function became accepted. Perhaps the most publicized
advance was the introduction of the oral drug sildenafil citrate
(Viagra) in March 1998. NAMCS data on new drugs show an estimated
2.6 million mentions of Viagra at physician office visits in 1999,
and one-third of those mentions occurred during visits for a
diagnosis other than ED.
In older men, ED usually has a physical cause, such as disease,
injury, or side effects of drugs. Any disorder that causes injury to
the nerves or impairs blood flow in the penis has the potential to
cause ED. Incidence increases with age: About 5 percent of
40-year-old men and between 15 and 25 percent of 65-year-old men
experience ED. But it is not an inevitable part of aging.
The good news!
ED is treatable at any age, and awareness of this fact has been
growing. More men have been seeking help and returning to normal
sexual activity because of improved, successful treatments for ED.
Natural male enhancement is one of the best risk free ways to deal
with the problem.
How does an erection occur?The penis contains two chambers called the corpora cavernosa, which
run the length of the organ . A spongy tissue fills
the chambers. The corpora cavernosa are surrounded by a membrane,
called the tunica albuginea. The spongy tissue contains smooth
muscles, fibrous tissues, spaces, veins, and arteries. The urethra,
which is the channel for urine and ejaculate, runs along the
underside of the corpora cavernosa and is surrounded by the corpus
spongiosum.
Erection begins with sensory or mental stimulation, or both.
Impulses from the brain and local nerves cause the muscles of the
corpora cavernosa to relax, allowing blood to flow in and fill the
spaces. The blood creates pressure in the corpora cavernosa, making
the penis expand. The tunica albuginea helps trap the blood in the
corpora cavernosa, thereby sustaining erection. When muscles in the
penis contract to stop the inflow of blood and open outflow
channels, erection is reversed.Using Zenerect
