What Diseases Often Lead to Erectile Dysfunction?

"Male impotence can be a total inability to achieve erection, an inconsistent ability to do so, or a tendency to sustain only brief erections. It is also called erectile dysfunction" - says a medical dictionary. I'd say it simplier: impotence is when a man can't get or keep an erection long enough to make sex. But I'm sure you already know all this and, probably, not just theoretically -- that's why you are here.

As soon as a problem appears we are trying to perform 2 tasks: to find its cause and to get rid of both of them (the cause and the problem). This article will help you (I hope so!) to perform the 1st task. The solution of the second one (and not only) you may find on pillwatch.com. So, diseases provoking erectile dysfunction.

The most common of them are: depression, anxiety, problems with self-esteem, anger, fear of sexual failure and other mental conditions. The more you are afraid of a failure the more chances you have to get this failure (a philosophical thought!). Vascular diseases such as hardening of the arteries or heart disease can lead to sexual problems too.

Also surgery or radiation to the prostrate, bladder, rectum or colon can cause nerve damage in the surrounding areas. As a possible result – erectile dysfunction. Diabetes is one of the most common causes of impotence, because it can cause changes in blood flow through narrowing of the arteries or damage to nerve endings in the penis. That’s why doctors should ask each diabetic if he has any sexual problems.

Only about 5 to 10 % of the male population have impotence due to hormonal problems, for example such as insufficient testosterone, the main sexual hormone of man. However, you may be one of those 5-10%! Injuries to the spinal cord or brain, or neurological diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, can also lead to impotence. Erectile dysfunction is commonly associated with multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease too. And still it's not the end!

Injuries caused by accidents, particularly accidents associated with horseback riding, bicycle riding (because strong blows of the perineum -- the triangle between the anus and the base of the scrotum -- against the front bar are very damaging), water sports and gymnastics can cause impotence. Car drivers also get this problem, especially those with a great length of service. Dear men, from this day, use your feet!

Many prescription drugs, especially blood pressure or anti-depressant medication, antihistamines, tranquilizers, appetite suppressants, and cimetidine (an ulcer drug) can cause impotence. Smoking (as well as alcohol) has been shown to affect arterial blood flow and may also affect the arteries in the penis, reducing the blood flow necessary to maintain an erection. Though smoking is not a disease, it becomes a reason of impotence very often. In some countries packets of cigarettes already contain a warning about their connection with impotence (but still nobody knows if it works).

By the way, the process of sleeping is also very important for men. It's not recommended to sleep on high pillows and on one's stomach. You won't believe but such positions complicate blood circulation and have a bad influence on erectile functioning.

All the listed above factors account for about 70 % of cases of impotence. Let's make a conclusion. To prevent the appearance of erectile dysfunction men should use/have: no bicycle riding, no car driving, no horseback riding, no smoking, no alcohol, no drugs, no stresses, no free sleeping, no free eating.... Well, but then they will have a great sex! It's you to choose if it's worth that. If you love bicycling more than sex, you have a chance to become a professional cyclist-impotent! (but do you really?!)

And, in the end, remember: to make sex better--make it regularly!

AM.
