Erectile Dysfunction? Don’t know her!

Dec 17, 2019

—

Erectile dysfunction affects millions of men worldwide! Whether it’s from natural old age, a medication you’ve been taking or change in habits, ED isn’t something to be overly ashamed about. The modern medicine market has so many options to help you. From prescription to herbal, the remedy is there men, hold tight!

What’s what

If you’ve been thinking you need to try a stimulant for your sexual experiences you should first know what’s what, and why you need it. Medical viagra is made of sildenafil, Cialis is made of tadalafil, Levitra is vardenafil and Stendra is avanafil. They all work in very similar ways. These drugs are all different versions of PDE5 inhibitors and help to ease blood flow into your penis by relaxing the muscles. Herbal “viagras” are usually made up of ginseng,

L-arginine, Propionyl-L-Carnitine, Horny Goat Weed and Ginkgo. The herbal remedies might contain more than one of these ingredients. They work virtually the same way in terms of muscle relaxation, but also focus on making you feel aroused not just hard.

Side Effects

Take caution when trying herbal remedies and medical stimulants as they may interfere with medications you already take. Side effects can include increased blood pressure and heart rate, headaches, stomach pain, facial flushing, anxiety and very rarely some acne may show.

Cialis should not be used with other blood thinning medications as it can cause an unhealthy dip in blood pressure.

Very very rarely Viagra may cause hearing loss and blindness, no herbal supplements will do that. It’s important to head straight to a doctor if you’re experiencing an erection for more than 4 hours as this can cause permanent damage.

Lasting times

Viagra is something people use when they need it, not a daily medication. It works within 30-120 minutes of taking it and lasts 3-5 hours. Cialis has a similar kick in time to viagra and lasts up to 36 hours. Levita works faster than viagra and lasts for 3-5 hours. Stendra will kick in after 15-30 minutes and lasts for up to 6 hours.

Now although none of these medications will “cure” your erectile dysfunction they will help to ease the hardship of it and allow you to enjoy sex with your partner. Just ensure to do ample research as you should with any medication and speak with a doctor about all the options and choose to take what sounds the best for you and your body.

Ask questions if you’re unsure, but also be prepared for trial and error. What works like magic for some might not for you, but that’s okay! Trust the process!

Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a health condition I’ve been living with. After countless hours of research and consultation with healthcare professionals, I’ve gained a wealth of knowledge which I believe can be beneficial to others facing the same predicament. In this comprehensive article, I’ll share everything I’ve learned about ED, from its causes and symptoms to the available treatment options.

Erectile dysfunction (ED), colloquially referred to as impotence, is a common male sexual disorder characterized by the consistent inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for sexual intercourse. Regardless of age, it can affect any man, and its prevalence increases with advancing age.

Understanding Erectile Dysfunction

What is ED?

ED is defined by the persistent inability to achieve or maintain an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse. Although experiencing erection issues occasionally is not necessarily a concern, ongoing erectile difficulties can lead to stress, affect self-confidence and contribute to relationship problems.

What Are The Types of ED?

ED can be categorized into two primary types: primary and secondary. Primary ED is when a man has never been able to have or sustain an erection, which is quite rare. Secondary ED, the most common type, involves men who have had regular erectile function but now face difficulties.

What Are Symptoms of Erectile Dysfunction?

The primary symptom of ED is the difficulty in getting or keeping an erection. Other symptoms include:

An erection that isn’t firm enough for intercourse.
An erection that doesn’t last long enough for intercourse.
A complete inability to achieve an erection.
Needing extra effort or stimulation to attain an erection.

What Causes of Erectile Dysfunction?

ED can occur due to various physical, psychological, and lifestyle factors.

Physical Causes

Physical conditions or diseases that can lead to ED include:

Heart disease and vascular problems.
Diabetes and diabetes-related complications.
High blood pressure.
High cholesterol levels.
Chronic kidney disease.
Neurological disorders like Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis.
Hormonal imbalances, such as low testosterone levels.
Prostate disease and treatments.
Certain medications like antidepressants, antihistamines, and medications to control high blood pressure.

Psychological Causes

Psychological factors can also contribute to ED. These include fear of sexual failure, depression, anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem.

Lifestyle Causes

Certain lifestyle choices can increase the risk of ED. These include smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, lack of physical activity, illicit drug use, and unhealthy diet.

How Do You Diagnose Erectile Dysfunction?

Diagnosing ED involves a thorough evaluation of your medical history, physical examination, and possibly laboratory tests. Your healthcare provider may ask about your sexual history to identify potential contributing factors and to differentiate between physical and psychological causes.

What Are The Treatment Options for Erectile Dysfunction?

Medications

Medications known as PDE-5 (phosphodiesterase-5) inhibitors are among the most common treatments for ED. These include Sildenafil (Viagra), Tadalafil (Cialis), Vardenafil (Levitra), and Avanafil (Stendra). These drugs enhance the effects of nitric oxide, a natural chemical your body produces that relaxes muscles in the penis, thereby improving blood flow and aiding in achieving an erection in response to sexual stimulation.

Hormone Therapy

In cases where ED is caused by hormonal imbalances, testosterone replacement therapy may be an option. This treatment can improve energy, mood, and bone density, increase muscle mass and weight, and heighten sexual interest in older men with deficient testosterone levels.

Penile Implants

Penile implants can be an effective treatment for ED, especially when other treatments have been unsuccessful. There are two main types of penile implants: inflatable devices and semi-rigid rods.

Lifestyle Changes

Modifying certain lifestyle factors can improve ED symptoms. These include quitting smoking, limiting alcohol intake, exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy weight, and following a balanced diet.

Living with Erectile Dysfunction

Living with ED can be challenging, but it’s a treatable condition and doesn’t define your masculinity or worth. Remember, you’re not alone. The journey to overcoming ED starts with acknowledging the problem and seeking professional help. With the right treatment, most men can find a solution that works for them, leading to an improved quality of life and sexual satisfaction.

Throughout my journey, I’ve learned that understanding the causes and symptoms of ED is just the first step towards managing it. With a range of effective treatments available today, there is no reason to let ED disrupt your life. If you’re experiencing persistent erectile problems, don’t hesitate to reach out to a healthcare provider.

There’s a solution out there for you.

Dealing with erectile dysfunction (ED) was challenging, but lifestyle changes made a significant difference for me. Initially, I felt overwhelmed, but I realized that taking proactive steps could help. I started by improving my diet, focusing on nutrient-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Regular exercise was also crucial; I incorporated cardiovascular activities and strength training to improve blood flow and overall health.

I prioritized sleep, aiming for 7-8 hours per night, and managed stress through meditation and mindfulness. Avoiding alcohol and smoking made a big difference too. Remember, it’s about consistent effort and patience; these changes collectively improved my condition.

I remember when my previous relationship started to unravel; it wasn’t over the usual arguments about money or in-laws. It was something much more personal: my partner was struggling with erectile dysfunction (ED). At first, he was too embarrassed to talk about it, which left me feeling confused and rejected. I thought he wasn’t attracted to me anymore, or worse, that he was keeping something from me.

It took a while for him to open up about his ED. When he did, I saw how deeply it affected him—his confidence, his mood, everything. I tried to be supportive, encouraging him to seek help, not just for the sake of our relationship but for his well-being. But he couldn’t overcome his embarrassment and the stigma he felt was attached to ED.

This experience taught me a lot about how important open communication is in a relationship. ED isn’t just a man’s issue; it affects their partner too. It can make you feel unwanted or unattractive, and without honest conversation, it’s easy to misinterpret what’s really going on.

I wish more men understood that it’s okay to seek help for ED. It’s a health issue, not a reflection of masculinity. Getting help can improve not just their own life but their partner’s emotional wellbeing too. No one should let embarrassment stand in the way of addressing something that’s genuinely impacting their relationship and quality of life.

Living with multiple sclerosis (MS) has been a rollercoaster ride, to say the least. But it’s not just the physical challenges that weigh on me—it’s the way MS has infiltrated every aspect of my life, including my intimate relationships. The symptoms of MS, like fatigue, muscle weakness, and nerve damage, have taken a toll on my body and my confidence, leading to erectile dysfunction (ED).

Every day is a battle against my own body, as MS throws obstacle after obstacle in my path. The fatigue makes it hard to find the energy for intimacy, while the muscle weakness and nerve damage affect my ability to perform. It’s a frustrating cycle of longing and disappointment, as the intimacy I crave remains just out of reach.

But despite the challenges, I refuse to let MS define me or dictate the quality of my relationships. I’ve learned to adapt and find new ways to connect with my partner, focusing on emotional intimacy when physical intimacy feels out of reach. And while ED may be a part of my reality, it’s not the entirety of who I am.

Living with MS and ED is a constant balancing act, but I’m determined to keep pushing forward, finding moments of joy and connection amidst the chaos. With each new day comes new challenges, but also new opportunities to embrace life and love to the fullest.

Ever since the pelvic trauma, life hasn’t been quite the same. The accident left me with physical scars, but it’s the invisible ones that hurt the most. The once vibrant intimacy in my relationship now feels like a distant memory, overshadowed by the shadow of erectile dysfunction (ED). It’s a constant battle between longing and frustration, as my body struggles to respond to desire the way it used to.

Every attempt at intimacy is fraught with anxiety and disappointment, a reminder of the limitations my body now faces. The shame and embarrassment weigh heavily on me, casting a dark cloud over what should be moments of connection and pleasure.

But amidst the struggle, there’s a glimmer of hope. I’ve started exploring treatment options and seeking support from healthcare professionals who understand what I’m going through. It’s a journey filled with uncertainty, but I refuse to let ED define me or dictate the quality of my life.

With each step forward, I cling to the belief that one day, I’ll reclaim the intimacy and vitality that was taken from me. Until then, I’ll continue to fight, not just for myself, but for the possibility of a future filled with love, connection, and unbridled joy.

Hey, buddy, let me level with you. When it comes to tackling ED quickly and on a budget, there’s one thing that’s been a total game-changer for me: lifestyle changes. Seriously, hear me out. Start by cleaning up your diet, exercising regularly, and ditching bad habits like smoking and excessive drinking. Trust me, it makes a huge difference. Oh, and don’t underestimate the power of communication with your partner. Sometimes, just talking openly about it can ease the pressure and make a world of difference. So, while pills and treatments can help, sometimes the simplest solutions are the most effective. Give it a shot!

Let me tell you about edging and how it turned my ED struggles around. At first, it was just a technique to enhance pleasure, but soon I realized it was more than that. By practicing edging regularly, I gained better control over my arousal and learned to recognize my body’s signals. This newfound control translated into the bedroom, where I could last longer and maintain a stronger erection. It’s like I retrained my body and mind to respond differently to stimulation. Edging not only improved my sexual performance but also boosted my confidence and satisfaction. It’s been a game-changer for me, no doubt about it.

Hey, you know that struggle with ED? Yeah, been there. Tried everything—pills, pumps, you name it. But let me tell you, therapy was the game-changer. Addressing the root cause, mental barriers, stress—I felt like a new man. It wasn’t just about physical fixes; it was about understanding myself better. Once I tackled that, everything else fell into place. Don’t get me wrong, it took time and effort, but the results? Worth it. So, if you’re feeling stuck, consider talking it out. You might be surprised. It worked for me, and I haven’t looked back since.

Living with erectile dysfunction (ED) has profoundly impacted every aspect of my life. It’s like a shadow constantly looming over my confidence and relationships. Intimate moments become a source of anxiety rather than pleasure, as the fear of disappointment and inadequacy clouds my mind. The strain it puts on my relationship weighs heavy, as I grapple with feelings of guilt and frustration for not being able to fully satisfy my partner. Social situations become daunting, fearing judgment or pity from others. Even my own self-esteem takes a hit, as I struggle to reconcile my sense of masculinity with the physical limitations imposed by ED. Yet, amidst the darkness, there’s a glimmer of hope—a determination to seek help and find solutions, to reclaim intimacy and rediscover a sense of normalcy in my life.

As a man grappling with erectile dysfunction (ED), every intimate moment is tinged with frustration and self-doubt. It’s like constantly battling against a barrier that separates desire from physical capability. The pressure to perform weighs heavy, overshadowing moments of intimacy with anxiety and embarrassment. Confidence wanes as each failed attempt chips away at self-esteem. It’s a relentless cycle of disappointment and longing, coupled with the fear of inadequacy and rejection. Yet amidst the struggle, there’s a glimmer of hope, a determination to seek solutions and regain control over one’s sexuality. It’s a journey of resilience, seeking light amidst the darkness.

As a man who has faced the challenges of erectile dysfunction (ED), I understand how daunting it can be. Here are some tips based on my personal experience:

Seek Professional Help: Don’t hesitate to consult a healthcare provider specializing in sexual health. They can provide valuable insights, recommend treatments, and address any underlying medical conditions contributing to ED.

Open Communication: Discussing ED with your partner might feel uncomfortable, but it’s essential for maintaining a healthy relationship. Open communication fosters understanding and support, reducing anxiety and pressure.

Explore Non-Sexual Intimacy: Intimacy isn’t solely about sexual activity. Engage in activities that promote emotional closeness, such as cuddling, kissing, or simply spending quality time together. This strengthens the bond between partners and can alleviate performance-related stress.

Manage Stress: Stress can exacerbate ED symptoms. Incorporate stress-relief techniques like meditation, deep breathing exercises, or hobbies that bring joy and relaxation. Prioritize self-care to improve overall well-being.

Healthy Lifestyle Choices: Adopting a balanced diet, regular exercise routine, and adequate sleep schedule can positively impact erectile function. Limiting alcohol consumption and avoiding smoking also support vascular health, crucial for achieving and maintaining erections.

Explore Different Forms of Pleasure: Focus on mutual pleasure rather than solely on penetrative sex. Experiment with different forms of stimulation, such as oral sex, manual stimulation, or sex toys. This can enhance intimacy and satisfaction for both partners.

Consider Therapy: Individual or couples therapy can help address psychological factors contributing to ED, such as performance anxiety, relationship issues, or low self-esteem. Therapy provides a supportive environment to explore concerns and develop coping strategies.

Stay Positive: Remember, ED doesn’t define your masculinity or worth as a partner. Stay optimistic and patient throughout the journey towards finding solutions. With the right support and mindset, you can navigate through this challenge and rediscover fulfilling intimacy.

When erectile dysfunction grips me, it’s like a shroud of shame enveloping my masculinity. Every failed attempt is a blow to my self-worth, leaving me feeling inadequate and emasculated. The frustration is palpable, a constant reminder of my body’s betrayal. Anxiety looms large with each intimate encounter, overshadowing any semblance of pleasure. It’s a relentless battle against doubt and disappointment, eroding confidence and intimacy. The fear of judgment weighs heavy, hindering genuine connection. Amidst the despair, hope flickers faintly, fueled by determination to seek solutions and reclaim not just physical prowess, but also emotional fulfillment.
