Erectile Dysfunction

There are three common treatments men use for erectile dysfunction: Cialis, Viagra or Levitra. While one treatment would work better for an individual, it might not work the same for the other. But all three treatments have specific characteristics; this article discusses Viagra and Cialis in detail.  

Erectile dysfunction (ED) has always had a social stigma attached to it which prevents many patients to discuss it openly and freely. This has led to a lack of research into erectile dysfunction so patients are often unable to link causes of erectile dysfunction to other health conditions. NHS statistics indicate 50% of men between the age of 40 and 70 will suffer from erectile dysfunction at least once in their life. The figures are based on research which might have pros and cons but it does allow us to identify the scale of the problem. We know from past research and investigations carried out there are a number of causes of erectile dysfunction. These can be split into two categories, psychological and physiological which have an effect on the blood flow, hormone production and neural signals directly linked to the penis.

Many men are born with naturally curved penises, but Peyronie’s disease is a condition that develops over time. As men age, they may experience curvature of the penis, this is called Peyronie’s disease. Peyronie’s is thought to be caused by tiny tears in the penile tissue that may occur as the penis bends during sexual activity. If the curvature does not interfere with sexual activity or cause any discomfort, it is not a cause for concern. But for some men, Peyronie’s can cause penis pain, erectile dysfunction and sexual difficulties. If a curved penis causes any of these issues, it may be beneficial to seek help from your doctor. A doctor may recommend medication or surgery to treat Peyronie’s if it is causing significant pain, discomfort or anxiety or if it is interfering with sexual activity.

With the rise of the internet, the trade in counterfeit drugs has grown dramatically. This became such a problem, that the UK government have agreed to offer over-the-counter Viagra Connect, to help curb the problem. Counterfeit drugs are at best inactive and at worst, life-threatening. There are two golden rules to buying medication online:

Priapism, is a persistent erection of the penis, that lasts longer than four hours. It is not caused by sexual stimulation and can be painful. Priapism is dangerous and can cause long-lasting damage. To avoid priapism, only ever take Viagra that has been prescribed to you and ensure your Viagra is from a registered pharmacy. You can identify if your Viagra is genuine by its blue colour, rounded diamond shape and the lettering on the pill: “Pfizer” on one side and “VGR” on the other, followed by the dosage.

Many different medications are available for erectile dysfunction. Several of these pills contain different active ingredients which can have slightly different effects. If you want to know which might work best for you, you could compare their attributes and even try them out to see how they work. We’ll give you the information here to get you started, by comparing the three most common erectile dysfunction pills: Viagra (Sildenafil), Cialis (Tadalafil), Levitra (Vardenaphil).

Viagra is not the only pill that can be used to treat erectile dysfunction, though it is the most commonly prescribed one. There are also other forms of treatment outside medication; so, if you are looking for alternatives to Viagra, then you may be pleased to know that there are plenty. While these may not be as effective as the popular drug, they may be necessary if you have an adverse reaction to Viagra.  

With so many erectile dysfunction medications available, it can be hard to make a decision about which is best. Doctors use the NICE guidelines to help them make this decision. NICE guidelines are based on research and they tell the doctor what the most suitable treatment would be  based on certain characteristics. We’ve used the NICE guidelines to make something a little more patient friendly: We hope our flow chart will help you choose the right erectile dysfunction treatment for you, but will also give you an idea about how we make decisions about your health.

There are a range of different problems that can affect ejaculation. Premature ejaculation is the most common, but delayed and retrograde ejaculation can also occur.

Jelqing is a method used to increase the length and girth of the erect penis. There are various methods of jelqing. The manual method is done on a flaccid of semi-erect penis. The man holds the penis between his thumb and index finger. He then gently pulls from the base to the head of the penis in a fluid motion. This is repeated for a few minutes.   Machines or devices can also be used for jelqing. These can include weighted devices, levers or stretchers. If you purchase a device, ensure you only buy from a website that you trust. Whatever method you use for jelqing, never do so for more than 10-15 minutes at a time, and never use too much pressure or force. You should not experience any pain, but if you do, you should stop immediately.

Performance anxiety is a condition in which men feel particularly nervous about having sex. The anxiety surrounding sex can be for a variety of reasons, including body-image, self-esteem, worries about satisfying their partner, or lasting long enough. This anxiety can impact your sex life, contributing to erectile dysfunction or in some cases premature ejaculation. If these conditions occur, the anxiety may become heightened around sex, exacerbating the problem.

Diabetes is one of the leading causes of erectile dysfunction (ED). Diabetes increases your likelihood of experiencing ED by 2-3 times and diabetics often experience ED 10-15 years earlier than others. In diabetes, the body is unable to effectively regulate blood sugar levels. This causes high levels of blood sugar over a prolonged period. High blood sugar can damage blood vessels, including those found in the penis. During an erection, the penis fills with blood, so damage to these blood vessels can result in erectile dysfunction.

There does appear to be some connection between cycling and erectile dysfunction, but you are unlikely to be affected unless you spend several hours a day on a bicycle.  

Around the world, marijuana is often the most widely-used illegal drug. As there are many varieties of marijuana and marijuana is still illegal in most countries, there has been relatively little research into all the potential side effects. Currently, little is known about marijuana use in relation to erectile dysfunction. However, there are several mechanisms by which marijuana use may contribute to erectile problems.

Erectile dysfunction is a potential side effect of several different types of prescription drugs. If you notice that your medication is affecting your sexual performance, you should speak to your doctor about possible alternatives, or erectile dysfunction medications. Do not stop taking your medication straight away, as this could have negative health effects and your body may adjust to the medication and your side effects may disappear.

Smoking can damage the blood vessels that supply the penis. An erection is achieved when the penis fills with blood, so damage or narrowing of these blood vessels can cause erectile dysfunction (ED).

Excessive cycling is a common cause of injury to this area. Psychological ED, is often related to performance anxiety, but can have other causes as well. Performance anxiety, is when you experience anxiety relating to sex. This can include worries about sexual performance, satisfying your partner, sexual health, pregnancy, body image, self-consciousness and self-esteem.

PDE5 inhibitors are an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction. Viagra (Sildeanfil), Levitra (Vardenafil), Cialis (Tadalafil) and Spedra (Avanafil) are all PDE5 inhibitors used to treat erectile dysfunction. Sexual stimulation causes a release of Nitrous Oxide into the blood vessels of the penis. This causes blood vessel walls to relax, and the blood flow to increase, leading to an erection. PDE5 inhibitors reduce the degradation of one of the intermediate chemicals that causes the blood vessel walls to relax. Therefore, PDE5 inhibitors help to maintain sufficient blood flow for an erection.
