Erectile dysfunction (impotence) is the inability to get and
keep an erection firm enough to make love.
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a huge challenge for many men
today regardless of their age .Having erection trouble infrequently isn't
necessarily a cause for concern. However, if erectile dysfunction is an ongoing
issue, however, it can cause stress, affect your self-confidence and contribute
to relationship problems.
Because erectile dysfunction may be caused by many factors,
a health condition, emotional or relationship problems, some kinds of
medication, smoking, drugs, or alcohol, an erectile dysfunction cure is
possible.
Symptoms
Erectile dysfunction symptoms might include persistent:
- Trouble getting an erection
- Trouble keeping an erection
- Reduced sexual desire
Causes
Male sexual arousal is a complex process that involves the
brain, hormones, emotions, nerves, muscles and blood vessels. Erectile
dysfunction can result from a problem with any of these. Likewise, stress and
mental health concerns can cause or worsen erectile dysfunction.
Sometimes a combination of physical and psychological issues
causes erectile dysfunction. For instance, a minor physical condition that
slows your s3xual response might cause anxiety about maintaining an erection.
The resulting anxiety can lead to or worsen erectile dysfunction.
Physical causes of
erectile dysfunction
In many cases, erectile dysfunction is caused by something
physical. Common causes include:
- Heart disease
- Clogged blood vessels (atherosclerosis)
- High cholesterol
- High blood pressure
- Diabetes
- Obesity
- Metabolic syndrome — a condition involving increased blood pressure, high insulin levels, body fat around the waist and high cholesterol
- Parkinson's disease
- Multiple sclerosis
- Certain prescription medications
- Tobacco use
- Alcoholism and other forms of substance abuse
- Sleep disorders
- Treatments for prostate cancer or enlarged prostate
- Surgeries or injuries that affect the pelvic area or spinal cord
Psychological causes
of erectile dysfunction
The brain plays a key role in triggering the series of
physical events that cause an erection, starting with feelings of sexual
excitement. A number of things can interfere with sexual feelings and cause or
worsen erectile dysfunction. These include:
- Depression, anxiety or other mental health conditions
- Stress
- Relationship problems due to stress, poor communication or other concerns
Natural Solutions
Whilst pharmaceutical companies have a whole host of drugs
that they claim cure erectile dysfunction, there are also a number of
alternative, natural solutions.
Here are 5 natural
ways to combat erectile dysfunction.
1.Monitor your
medication
Erectile dysfunction can occur as a side effect of
medication taken for another health condition. Common culprits are high blood
pressure meds, antidepressants, some diuretics, beta-blockers, heart
medication, cholesterol meds, antipsychotic drugs, hormone drugs,
corticosteroids, chemotherapy, and medication for male pattern baldness, among
others.
If you think your medication might be causing ED, talk to
your doctor, but do not stop taking it on your own.
2.Eat well and
maintain a healthy weight
The foods you eat can have a direct impact on erectile
dysfunction. A diet rich in fruit, veggies, whole grains, and fish, and with
fewer servings of red meat and refined grains, decreases the risk for ED.
A healthy diet also helps to maintain a healthy body weight,
which is important because men who have a 42-inch waist are 50 percent more
likely to have ED than men with a 32-inch waist. Also, obesity increases the
risk for vascular disease and diabetes, two factors that contribute to ED.
3.Take some 'herbal
viagra'
Ginseng, specifically “red ginseng,” is known as the “herbal
Viagra” that helps puts to rest men’s bedroom woes. Red ginseng is when the
root has been steamed and then dried. The ginseng root is the part of the plant
that is mostly used as a natural remedy when in its supplement form. However,
the plant must be grown for a minimum of five years before it can be used.
4.Take watermelon
juice
A cold slice of watermelon can do more than just satisfy
hunger during hot days, it can help with bedroom satisfaction. Citrulline, the
amino acid found in high concentrations of watermelon, is found to improve
blood flow to the penis. A 2011 study revealed men who suffered from mild to
moderate ED and took L-citrulline supplementation showed an improvement with
their erectile function and were very satisfied. Natural watermelon juice, or
“nature’s Viagra,” can also be easier on the stomach, since taking pills like
Viagra can cause nausea and diarrhea.
5.Get enough sleep
Poor sleep patterns can be a contributing factor for
erectile dysfunction. One study emphasised the intricate relationship between
the level of sex hormones like testosterone, sexual function, and sleep, noting
that testosterone levels increase with improved sleep, and lower levels are
associated with sexual dysfunction. Hormone secretion is controlled by the
body’s internal clock, and sleep patterns likely help the body determine when
to release certain hormones.
