Fixing Erectile Dysfunction

What is Erectile Dysfunction?

If you have difficulty getting and maintaining an erection that is firm enough for sexual intercourse, you may be suffering from erectile dysfunction (ED). Please remember that a few isolated occurrences are not cause for concern. However, if sustained symptoms are evident, you may benefit from discussing it with your doctor for a formal diagnosis and treatment options.

Men are often disheartened and embarrassed by erectile issues, but they are more common than many people think. Fortunately, there are some reliable natural ways of fixing erectile dysfunction.

Horny Goat Weed: Better than Viagra?

The researchers extracted icariin from the plants and tested six modified versions of it. (Icariin is believed to boost sexual libido and enhance erection.) It was found that the most efficient of these, known as compound 5, works as well as Viagra. The good news is that preliminary tests suggest that a drug made from compound 5 could also cause fewer side effects than Viagra.

Compound 5 will now go through lengthy clinical trials before it can be approved as a drug. It could be 10 years before it reaches the market. In the mean time, people will benefit from using horny goat weed.

One product that I have come across for men containing horny goat weed is VigRXPlus. It is a formulation of ancient herbs and aphrodisiacs from South America, China, and Europe, which were scientifically studied and engineered to produce optimum results and satisfaction. VigRXPlus functions by directly affecting testrosterone to improve sexual urge and vigour, and also boosts blood flow through the penis, increasing sexual sensation.

More Solutions for Fixing Erectile Dysfunction

If, however, the condition is confirmed, the following erectile dysfunction solutions may be recommended:

1. There are a number of oral prescription only medications available, inclduing Viagra (sildenafil), Cialis (tadalafil) and Levitra (vardenafil). These phosphodiesterase inhibitors make it possible for you to get an erection in response to stimulation. Educate yourself on the side-effects and discuss these with your medical practitioner.

2. You could opt to undergo needle-injection therapy using alprostadil (prostaglandin E). This synthetic hormone is injected into the base of the penis and leads to an erection after about five minutes. Erections last for about an hour with this treatment.

3. Another option is self-administered intraurethral therapy. This involves the use of a disposable applicator to place alprostadil into the tip of your penis. The alprostadil comes in the form of a suppository that is smaller than a grain of rice.

4. In a small number of cases, testosterone replacement therapy may be effective in fixing erectile dysfunction.

5. You could also use a penis pump. This is a hollow tube that is placed over the penis to suck air out and draw blood into the penis, resulting in an erection. A tension ring is then used to maintain the erection long enough for you to have sexual intercourse.

6. As a last resort, opt for surgery. Vascular surgery unblocks blood flow to the penis, allowing natural erections to occur again. Penile implants, on the other hand, involve the insertion of an inflatable device or rods to create an erection.

7. Most importantly, identify and change damaging habits that hurt your sexual functioning. Smoking cigarettes, drinking too much alcohol, sedentary lifestyles, and poor nutrition all contribute to how efficently a man functions in and out of the bedroom. To have a healthy sex life, you need to pursue a healthy lifestyle in general. Be healthy and happy!
