Although erectile dysfunction is a condition associated with old age it doesn’t have to be a part of aging process. Most of the time older men need more simulation to achieve erection, but it is possible and they should not be denied sexual intercourse just because they are aging. In cases where men have had erection problems for a persistent amount of time they should ask their physician about treatment for erectile problems.
Statistic shows that as you age chances for developing erection problems increase exponentially. More than 20 percent of men age 50 to 54 suffer from some kind of erection problems. This number skyrockets to 50 percent with men age 70 to 74. Erection problems can be caused by physical and psychological factors. Older men are more likely to be effected by physical causes. In such cases specialist urologists dealing with erectile dysfunction chose oral medication as a treatment.
An erection is a complex process which includes interaction between brain, nerves, hormones, and blood vessels. In cases where anything interferes with this complex process erection could be prevented. Most common causes for erectile dysfunction are diabetes high blood pressure, heart or thyroid conditions, poor circulation, low testosterone, depression, spinal cord injury, nerve damage, or neurologic disorders (like multiple sclerosis or Parkinson’s disease).
Even certain medication can prevent this complex and delicate process of achieving erection. Here are some of them; blood pressure medication, heart medication, some peptic ulcer medications, sleeping pills, and antidepressants. If you are suffering from erection problems and are using any or combination of these drugs consult your physician, maybe you may benefit from reducing the dose of the drug or changing to another drug that has the same result but not the same side effects. Do not adjust your medication yourself. This could sometimes cause harmful side effects and even result in death. Use of nicotine, alcohol, or cocaine is also attributed to erectile dysfunction.
