What is Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction is incredibly common and millions of men suffer from it worldwide. Often known as male impotence, erectile dysfunction is when a man struggles to gain and maintain an erection which prevents him from having a regular and enjoyable sex life. The effects on a man’s confidence and relationships can be extreme, erectile dysfunction affects men in different ways. There are various causes for erectile dysfunction. Many psychological causes include stress, lack of confidence, anxiety, and so on. Physiological causes are also common.
When the male body is sexually aroused two chemicals are produced0 cyclic GMP, which causes the muscles in the arterial wall of the penis to relax allowing an erection and phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE-5, which decreases erections. Two chemicals are produced by the male body whilst sexually aroused - Cyclic GMP (cGMP ), which causes the muscles in the arterial wall of the penis to relax allowing blood to flow in and phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE-5) which decreases erections. Treatments are available for erectile dysfunction that works by reducing inhibiting PDE-5 and allowing increased blood flow to a man’s penis. When a man then becomes sexually aroused the PDE5 is disabled and a man is able to get and maintain an erection as the cGMP does not break down and the blood is able to increase. This increases a man’s confidence and allowing him to enjoy a regular and healthy sex life.
