How to Prevent Erectile Dysfunction
What, when & why?
Impotence (also called erectile dysfunction) is a very common sexual problem that affects from 10 to 15% of all men. And that number includes about one-third of all men over 60 years old.
In the United States almost 15 million men suffer with erectile dysfunction (ED). This term (erectile dysfunction) has replaced the term “impotence” mainly because the former term relates exclusively to erection problems.
Definition of ED
ED (erectile dysfunction) is a condition where a man cannot reach or maintain an erection. Impotence means a man can’t reach an erection firm enough to last until the sex act is completed. Even though it’s normal for a man not to be able to keep an erection every once in a while, if is starts happening on a regular basis, he has a problem.
What happens in erectile dysfunction?
Males who are impotent are either unable to get a firm erection, or could have problems remaining hard during the sex act.
Symptoms of ED
Erectile dysfunction symptoms could range from a mild form to a more severe form. If you have mild symptoms you might be able to achieve an occasional erection. But you might have problems having intercourse because you might not be able to sustain that erection. Many times an erect penis is not hard or even long enough to penetrate. In some cases men even stop having an erection while they are sleep or when they awake. Men who have low levels of testosterone could develop a high pitch voice, large breasts, energy and muscle mass loss and shrinking testes. Impotent men rarely are able to get an erection. Men suffering from severe impotence are usually not able to achieve an erection.
Causes of ED
Male impotence usually is caused by poor blood flow to the penis, which makes it difficult or impossible for the man to get and hold an erection. And this can lead to a disaster in the bedroom. Men who suffer from impotence are often embarrassed to talk about it because it reflects on their lack of virility and sexual performance. This condition also affects a man’s relationship with his partner, which could cause additional stress and anxiety – and even anger.
Here are a few major causes of ED:
Psychosocial reasons: ED for many men is not just the result of poor health. It stems from psychological and emotional problems that they have encountered in the past, or even presently are experiencing.
Diabetes & heart disease: Nearly 50% of all males who are diabetic suffer from impotence after they are 55 years old.
Unknown causes: The origin of ED is not known in five percent of cases.
Preventing erectile dysfunction
Exercise: You should exercise at least 30 minutes every day. This can significantly affect the onset of ED.
Eat healthier: Eat low-fat and low calorie foods that have plenty of vitamins, including vitamins A, C, E and D. Also eat foods rich in the Vitamin B complex. And take in plenty minerals like Zinc, which helps to improve potency.
