What is erectile dysfunction?

Erectile dysfunction (ED), also known as impotence, is a condition affecting men whereby they are unable to get or maintain an erection suitable for sexual intercourse. ED is a common condition and is estimated to affect around half of all men in the UK over the age of 40 to some degree. The reason for the condition will vary from person to person and can be caused by a wide range of physical, phsycological and lifestyle factors. Often ED can be symptomatic of an underlying health condition so it is vital that you consult a doctor if you are suffering from ED.


What causes erectile dysfunction?

The causes of erectile dysfunction can be both physical and psychological. In around three quarters of cases of long term ED there is normally an underlying physical problem. Physical conditions that affect the blood flow to the penis, nervous system or hormone levels can affect a persons ability to get an erection. Prostate and pelvic surgery can also cause ED in some cases.  In most short-term cases of ED the problem is more likely to be caused by psychological factors. Lifestyle choices can also play a significant role as an unhealthy lifestyle can affect your sexual and general health.

Physical factors that can lead to erectile dysfunction include:

  • Heart disease
  • High blood pressure
  • Diabetes
  • Over/under active thyroid
  • Prostate or pelvic surgery

 

Psychological factors that can lead to short-term erectile dysfunction include:

  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Relationship problems
  • Low confidence / low self esteem

 

Some lifestyle choices that can have an adverse impact on your sexual health include:

  • High alcohol intake
  • Drug abuse
  • Smoking
  • Tiredness
 
 
What are the symptoms of erectile dysfunction?

Erectile dysfunction symptoms are defined as not being able to get or maintain an erection sufficient to have intercourse. Individuals may sometimes find this only  occurs in certain situations. For example, you may be able to get an erection during masturbation, or you may find that you sometimes wake up with an erection but you are unable to get an erection with a partner.

In these circumstances, it is likely that the underlying cause of ED is primarily psychological (stress related). However, if you are unable to get an erection under any circumstances, it is likely that the underlying cause is primarily physical.  

 

Erectile dysfunction treatments:

There are a number of treatments available to people suffering from erectile dysfunction. If your condition is caused by an underlying physical condition like diabetes or high blood pressure you may need to get the condition treated before you can treat the erectile dysfunction.

Prescription Treatments:

The most common types of prescription medications are (PDE-5) inhibitors which temporarily increase the blood flow to the penis. There are three main types available for use in the UK, sildenafil (Viagra), tadalafil (Cialis / Cialis Daily), and vardenafil (Levitra). The three products are available in different strengths and have different effective periods. For comparison details see the above table.

Vacuum Pumps:

A vacuum pump is another treatment method for ED. It consists of a clear plastic tube that is connected to a pump, which is either hand or battery operated.

You place your penis in the tube and pump out all of the air. This creates a vacuum that causes the blood to fill your penis, making it erect. You then place a rubber ring around the base of your penis in order to keep the blood in place, allowing you to maintain an erection for around 30 minutes.

It may take several attempts to learn how to use the pump correctly, but they are usually very effective. After using a vacuum pump, nine out of 10 men are able to have sex, regardless of the cause of their ED.

Psychotherapy:

If your ED has an underlying psychological cause then you may benefit from a type of treatment called sensate focus. If conditions such as anxiety or depression are causing your ED, you may benefit from counselling (a talking therapy).

Lifestyle Changes:

The lifestyle choices you make can have a big impact on your sexual health. Keeping fit, eating a well balanced diet, stopping smoking and reducing the amount of alcohol you consume will help fight the causes of erectile dysfunction.
