Erectile Dysfunction or ED as it is commonly referred to is the inability to achieve or sustain erection. ED can be temporary or something far greater than an occasional problem. usually it stems form a mix of emotional or psychological and physical factors, not to mention some lifestyle related habits like drinking and smoking excessively and consuming recreational drugs. however, one thing remains a certainty in all events of ED that it might be a result of something emotional or physical but it is inevitably going to have a psychological impact often resulting in lack of confidence and relationship problems.This is what usually makes the situation worse. The more you think about it the more severe it gets creating a spiral effect. Getting out of this vicious spiral requires a strong mind set more than any thing else.
Getting back to statistics in 1999 survey conducted by the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS) it was estimated that just a mere 22 out of every 100 men facing ED sought treatment and almost 50% of men between the ages of 40 and 70 experience problems in achieving or maintaining erections.
As stated above, more often that not ED is a result of emotional issues. Stress, depression, anxiety, guilt are some of the reasons behind low libido in men. Often men face sexual dysfunction after a break up. Men's forums bear a testimony to this. You can visit any men's forum and find men posting about their sexual problems resulting from a broken relationship. Moreover, competing in a fast pace world, takes your mind off sex and there are times when you are simply not interested in sex. Stress takes a toll on your libido and testosterone levels which is the hormone responsible for maintaining your sexual function. A decline in testosterone levels can harm you in ways more than one. A decline in sexual libido, loss of lean muscle mass, weight gain, mood swings, decline in bone density are some of the effects of a diminishing testosterone level in your body.
Such an ED can be treated with the help of therapy, changes in diet to boost testosterone production and exercising regularly. Exercise is not only a stress burster but also boost testosterone production. However, experts advice an ideal workout should be between 45-60 minutes long. This is because if you work out for more than 60 minutes in a single session you body starts producing cortisol which inhibits and diminishes testosterone production.
Moreover natural supplements can be a big help. They are a better alternative than synthetic drugs like Viagra which can have negative side effects. These Natural Pills contain herbal extracts like ginseng, ginkgo etc which have been used as aphrodisiacs for centuries. In fact they form a very crucial part of Chinese and Indian medicine systems and are used for treating sexual problems in men.
