Let us first attempt to understand exactly what erectile dysfunction is and how it is caused . Then we will discuss how it can and does affect the lives of men who suffer from it , and how it affects the people around them , for it does affect wives , family , and friends too , even if it is indirectly .

Once we have a comprehensive understanding of the condition and what it entails , we’ ll discuss how to cure it . Erectile Dysfunction is generally defined as the inability to achieve or to maintain an erection long enough to engage in sexual intercourse .

However, to fully understand erectile dysfunction, one first has to understand how the process of erection works. Initially, you need to realise that the penis contains two chambers .

These chambers are called the corpora cavernosa , which are filled with spongy tissue. They run the length of the organ and contain a maze of blood vessels shaped like cavernous spaces .

An erection is achieved – and this is where you should pay full attention – when the blood vessels of the corpora cavernosa relax and open up – because of nerve messages which stimulate the penis , and impulses from the brain and local nerves . As blood rushes in through the cavernous arteries to fill them , it is trapped under high pressure, which expands the penis and voilà – you have taken off .

So, under normal circumstances , when you are sexually stimulated, your brain will send a message down , through your spinal cord and into the nerves of your penis . The nerve endings of the penis then release chemical messengers, called neurotransmitters, which signal the arteries that supply blood to the corpora cavernosa to relax and fill with blood . As they expand, the corpora cavernosa close off other veins which would normally drain blood from the penis .

As the penis becomes engorged with blood , it enlarges and stiffens , causing an erection . Problems with blood vessels , nerves , or tissues of the penis can interfere with an erection .

In essence, erectile dysfunction is simply a problem with your blood flow, caused by varieties of factors which could be organic , circumstantial , psychological, environmental, psychosomatic, lifestyle and eating habits and so on , and thus , is a problem that can be easily resolved.

No need to be embarrassed about it , or to throw away your marriage, and be distressed and depressed, for it could happen to anyone. Failure to achieve an erection less than 20 per cent of the time is not unusual and treatment is rarely needed . Failure to achieve an erection more than 50 per cent of the time , however , generally indicates that there is a problem requiring attention.

Sometimes , erectile dysfunction only occurs in certain situations. For example , you may be able to obtain an erection by just looking at a nude picture or just thinking about your wife or just remembering the last time you had a great sex , or you may find that you sometimes wake up with an erection .

However, the same man may be momentarily unable to obtain an erection when he is with his wife.

In these circumstances , it is likely that the underlying cause of ED is primarily psychological, psychosomatic and circumstantial. However, if you are unable to obtain an erection under any circumstances , it is likely that the underlying cause is primarily physical . In order to achieve an erection , the following conditions must occur.
If there is something interfering with any or all of these conditions , a full erection will be prevented. The blood circulation into the penis must be adequate. The veins and tissues must be able to “ trap and keep ” the blood inside the penis.

There must be a stimulus from the brain . The nerves must be very sensitive , the prostate must produce testosterone.

Common causes of erectile dysfunction include diseases which affect blood flow, such as atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries ) or venous leakage (weak veins) , diseases affecting the heart in general , issues with diabetes mellitus , and infections .

Furthermore , psychological factors , such as stress , depression , and performance anxiety can lead to ED too , as well as an injury to the penis . Additionally , chronic illnesses , certain medications , and a condition called Peyronie’ s Disease (scar tissue in the penis ) can also cause ED.

Now , as most men and couples fail to truly understand ED, its causes, and how it can effectively be cured, through entirely natural means at home or natural herbal preparations , exercises and even massages , they tend to get scared, and then jump to irrational conclusions.

The lack of understanding breeds unfounded fears , which spawn a series of misguided thoughts and rash actions , and those in turn, engender significant distress , and a host of other problems in life.
