When a man has erectile dysfunction (ED), he struggles to get and keep an erection strong enough for sexual activity. One in ten men will experience erectile dysfunction (ED) at some point in their lives. It’s important to keep in mind that ED is often a precursor to other health issues.
Lack of desire, difficulties with orgasm and ejaculation, and ED are not normal, regardless of age, and they often occur together with other conditions that limit sexual activity.
Does erectile dysfunction happen frequently?
Ten percent of adult men experience long-term ED.
There are many potential causes of erection problems in males, including excessive drinking, stress, marital troubles, or just plain exhaustion.
In most cases, therapy is unnecessary if you only get an erection around 20% of the time. However, medication is usually necessary if an erection is not obtained more than 50 percent of the time.
One’s age is not necessarily a factor in developing ED. Older men should still be able to get an erection and enjoy sex, though it may take more stimulation for some.
Why do men experience erection problems?
There are many potential origins of erectile dysfunction.
Circulatory disorders:
The penis’s blood supply might be restricted by vascular diseases such as atherosclerosis (arterial hardening).
Disorders of the nervous system (such as multiple sclerosis):
The penile nerves are vulnerable to damage from strokes, diabetes, and other disorders.
Disorders of the mind:
Among these are nervousness before a performance, muscle strain, melancholy, and mental boredom.
Trauma:
ED symptoms may be exacerbated by an injury.
Peyronie’s disease, certain medications, and long-term illness can all lead to erectile dysfunction. It’s also possible that the treatments for cancers of the bladder, colon, and prostate played a role.

What is the connection between depression and impotence?
Sometimes men will struggle with both erectile dysfunction (ED) and depression. Many men who struggle with ED report feelings of anger, disappointment, depression, insecurity, and even a lack of “manliness.” These feelings might lead to self-doubt and, in the worst cases, despair.
Depression caused by ED can be treated. The first step in dealing with ED-related sadness is being honest about your concerns with yourself, your partner, and your doctor.
Having depression openly addressed will make dealing with it less difficult and more manageable.
After a thorough physical examination and discussion of your symptoms, your doctor may order any of the following tests to learn more about the nature of your problem:
Anemia is just one of the many blood conditions that can be diagnosed using a series of tests known as a complete blood count (CBC). A decreased number of red blood cells, which causes fatigue, can cause ED.
If you suspect that your ED is due to a problem with your liver or kidneys, you should have your blood tested.
A lipid profile is a blood test that measures the levels of lipids (fats) in the body. Extremely high levels may be indicative of atherosclerosis, which limits blood flow to the penis.
How can one go about fixing erection problems?
Several methods exist for dealing with erectile dysfunction.
- Oral medications for male health, such as P Super Force
- Sexual therapy
- Testicular injections
- Suction devices.
- It’s a medicine that’s administered through the urethra.
- Surgery involving a penile implant
- Each variety has its own set of benefits and drawbacks. Discuss your options with your doctor and go from there.
