Erectile dysfunction (ED), also known as impotence, is the inability to get and maintain an erection that is sufficient for satisfactory sexual intercourse.

ED is a very common condition, particularly in older men. It is estimated that half of all men between the ages of 40 and 70 will have it to some degree.

ED can have a range of causes that can be both physical and mental (psychological).

Physical causes include:
narrowing of the blood vessels going to the penis – commonly associated with high blood pressure (hypertension), high cholesterol or diabetes
hormonal problems
surgery or injury

Psychological causes of ED include:
anxiety, depression, relationship problems

Diagnosis
Although you may be embarrassed, it is important that a healthcare professional diagnoses ED so that the cause can be identified.

ED can usually be diagnosed after a consultation with your doctor. This will involve answering questions about your symptoms, as well as a physical examination and some simple tests.


How is erectille dysfunction treated?
ED is primarily treated by tackling the cause of the problem, whether this is physical or psychological.

The narrowing of the arteries (called atherosclerosis) is one of the most common causes of ED. In these cases your GP may suggest lifestyle changes, such as losing weight, to try to reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease. This may help to relieve your symptoms as well as improving your general health. You may also be given medication to treat atherosclerosis, such as cholesterol-lowering statins and drugs to reduce your blood pressure.

There are several treatment options that have proved very successful for ED. Medication, such as sildenafil (sold as Viagra), can be used to successfully manage it in at least two-thirds of men. Vacuum pumps that encourage blood to flow to the penis and cause an erection are also successful in 90% of cases.

Psychological treatments include cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and sex therapy.

Overall, treatments for ED have improved significantly in recent years. These days most people are eventually able to return to successful intercourse.

It is important to correct one impression: premature e-jaculation does not translate to ED and most times is not a problem at all. Once a man does not indulge in regular sexual activity he is bound to experience premature e-jaculation. For instance in the first round of se-x there is 80% chance of premature e.jaculation for a guy that have not had se-x for some days/week(s)but in the second round of sex he will actually last long and be able to make his woman have orgasm.
