Erectile dysfunction is nothing to be embarrassed or ashamed about. The symptoms of erectile dysfunction often stem from an underlying medical condition, such as diabetes or heart disease so it is important to see a healthcare specialist to see if your erectile dysfunction can be cured.
Erectile dysfunction is defined as the condition when men are unable to achieve an erection hard or long enough in order to have sexual intercourse.
Erectile dysfunction symptoms most commonly manifest in three ways:
- Difficulty getting an erection
- Difficulty maintaining an erection
- An overall reduced sexual desire
It is important to keep in mind that nearly all men experience these symptoms from time to time. It is only when these symptoms persist that you should consider erectile dysfunction a possibility.
Most men will experience some form of impotence in their lifetime, and the likelihood of developing symptoms increases with declining health and age. It is common in men over 40 and of those with chronic stress and anxiety.
As a man gets older, certain health related issues can begin to surface, such as diabetes, high cholesterol, heart disease and prostate problems. Erectile dysfunction can be caused by a number of factors such as:
- High cholesterol
- High blood pressure
- Heart disease
- Certain medications
- Obesity
- Diabetes
- Sleep disorders
- Surgeries or treatments in the pelvic area
- Psychological conditions, such as depression or stress, can also contribute to erectile dysfunction.
There are many ways to cure erectile dysfunction which can include lifestyle changes like modifying your diet and getting exercise, as well as seeking mental health or relationship counselling.
Erectile dysfunction can be cured, but it depends on the cause. Some causes of erectile dysfunction are easier to “cure” than others. But, with the right diagnosis, support, and treatment, it’s possible for erectile dysfunction to go away without the need for medications.
