What is Erectile Dysfunction?

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for sexual intercourse. If a person has never had an erection or has never been able to sustain an erection, it is called “primary ED”; if a person has previously been able to have an erection but now has erectile dysfunction, it is called “secondary ED ” when a person who was previously able to have an erection becomes unable to sustain it.

Mechanism and Causes of Erection

Erections usually occur when sexual desire is high. Sexual stimulation causes the nerves involved in erection to secrete a special substance that sends a signal to the tissue involved in erection, the corpus cavernosum penis. This causes a large amount of blood to flow into the corpus cavernosum, and an erection is said to occur due to the pooling of blood.

This is why erectile dysfunction is thought to be caused mainly by blood vessels, nerves, or psychological factors. Specifically, in addition to aging, there are physical causes such as diabetes, hypertension, nerve or blood vessel damage due to trauma or surgery, and psychological causes such as stress.

Erectile Dysfunction and its Relationship to Age

Many people believe that age and psychological factors are involved in erectile dysfunction. While it certainly tends to increase with age, it can also occur in younger age groups and is considered a disease that can occur at any age. It is also said that in people in their 50s and older, it is often related to arteriosclerosis (a condition in which blood vessels become hardened and narrowed, resulting in poor blood flow).

Thus, there are many causes of erectile dysfunction, and it is not simply due to aging. Since it is sometimes related to disease, it is important to consider seeing a doctor as soon as possible if you have symptoms that concern you, rather than leaving them untreated. Treatment may help you lead a better everyday life.

Symptoms of Erectile Dysfunction

Main Symptoms
Erectile dysfunction may cause the following symptoms

Inability to get an erection at all
Erection is possible, but not long enough for intercourse
Insufficient hardness

 

When to See a Doctor

You should think about seeing a doctor if you are worried about your ability to get an erection, but also if you have trouble getting an erection sometimes, or if you are not happy with your erection, because these situations can also be treated.

In the past, urology was the main specialty that treated erectile dysfunction. However, as more cases are related to lifestyle factors, internal medicine has become more common for treatment. You may still see a urologist, but you may also start with your family doctor in internal medicine.

 

How to Treat Erectile Dysfunction

Medication

Erectile dysfunction is often treated with PDE5 inhibitors, which are drugs that widen the blood vessels in the penis and increase blood flow to help and maintain an erection. They also prevent the worsening of penile vascular damage, so they may help stop erectile dysfunction from getting worse.

Take one pill about one hour before sexual activity. You should wait 24 to 48 hours (depending on the type of medication) before taking another dose. If the medication does not work well enough, the doctor may find out the cause of your erectile dysfunction and provide necessary treatment and counseling by a psychosomatic specialist.
