Define Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction is an extremely common disorder. It can afflict any male from the age of 13 to 90. Statistics indicate that it afflicts about 10% of the male population. After the age of 40, the statistics rise to 52% of the male population suffering from erectile dysfunction.
The common psychological causes of impotence include:
1.Fatigue
2.Depression
3.Problems within your relationship
4.Poor communication or conflict with your partner
 

Erectile dysfunction is not an all or nothing condition. It is common misconception in most men, including some doctors, that a man either has a high quality erection, or nothing at all!

This is not a fact. Most of the men who suffer from impotence have normal sexual desires and arousal, and most are able to obtain an erection.

In younger men the cause of erectile dysfunction is more likely to be psychological. In such situations, counselling and sex education may help to treat the condition. In some cases, impotence may be the result of a combination of both physical and psychological causes. For instance, if a man is affected by a minor physical problem it may slow down his sexual response due to anxiety about maintaining an erection. The resulting anxiety can worsen erectile dysfunction.

The difference compared to a normal healthy man is that the man afflicted with ED / impotence is unable to maintain or sustain a hard-enough, or long-enough erection for satisfactory sexual intercourse. Hence the term 'erectile dysfunction - suggestion of partial loss - is preferred to impotence - suggestion of a total loss. Few men are aware that in the majority of cases, it is organic, rather than psychological, causes, that are at the root of their affliction.

It is better to discuss the condition with a doctor to determine the exact cause of erectile dysfunction. Your doctor may be able to give you treatment for the cause of erectile dysfunction or prescribe you oral erectile dysfunction treatment medicine such as Viagra, Cialis and Levitra to help you accomplish successful sexual activity with your partner.

In as many as 80% to 90% of cases of chronic impotence, the cause is in the body. It is a man's ego, too, that prevents him from admitting that there could be something wrong with his symbol of manhood.
