Understanding Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is characterised by the consistent difficulty obtaining or maintaining an erection suitable for sexual intercourse. This issue, previously referred to as impotence, can affect men at any age, though it is more prevalent in those over 75.

It's important to note that experiencing ED is not an inevitable part of ageing. As men age, they may require more physical stimulation ( touching and stroking) to attain an erection and may also need longer recovery times between sexual activities. Nonetheless, older men are generally capable of achieving erections and enjoying sexual experiences.

Occasional difficulties in achieving or maintaining an erection are common. However, erectile dysfunction becomes a concern when it consistently impedes satisfactory sexual activity, potentially affecting both sexual fulfilment and overall quality of life. Fortunately, there are effective medications and treatments available at JOGO to manage this condition.

Causes of Erectile Dysfunction

Male sexual arousal is a complicated process that encompasses the emotions, brain, nerves, hormones, blood vessels, and muscles. Erectile dysfunction (ED) may stem from issues in any of these areas. Common physical causes of ED include:

  • Hypertension, or elevated blood pressure
  • Diabetes, which leads to high blood sugar
  • Atherosclerosis, which involves the hardening of arteries
  • Usage of tobacco and alcohol
  • Emotional stressors such as depression or anxiety
  • Certain prescription medications, including painkillers, blood pressure medications, and antidepressants
  • General fatigue
  • Hypogonadism, which results in decreased levels of testosterone
  • Injuries to the spinal cord or brain
  • Neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis
  • Radiation therapy targeting the testicles
  • Surgeries involving the bladder or prostate
  • Stroke

Psychological factors also play a role in the onset or exacerbation of ED, though they are generally less common than physical causes. These can include:

  • Anxiety about sexual performance, potentially due to past negative experiences or earlier episodes of ED
  • Stress from family or work situations
  • Symptoms of depression
  • Self-consciousness about one's body or sexual performance
  • Perceived negative reactions from one's partner

Treatment for Erectile Dysfunction

At JOGO, your treatment plan for erectile dysfunction will be personalised based on several factors:

  • Your overall health, medical history, and age
  • The severity of the condition
  • Your tolerance for procedures, therapies, or specific medications
  • Your expectations regarding the progression of the condition
  • Your preferences and opinions

Available treatments for ED include:

Lifestyle Adjustments
Your doctor may recommend losing weight or initiating an exercise program to alleviate symptoms of ED. Additional suggestions might include stopping smoking, limiting alcohol intake, or stopping the use of marijuana and other substances.
Counselling
Engaging with a counsellor can be beneficial if depression, relationship issues, or stress are influencing your ED. Counselling provides a supportive environment to explore these issues.
Vacuum Devices
Commonly referred to as a penis pump, this device consists of a tube that fits over the penis. It uses a pump to create a vacuum that draws blood into the penis, aiding in achieving an erection. An elastic ring is then placed at the base of the penis to maintain the erection after removing the vacuum tube. The ring can be removed after sexual activity to cease the erection.

Frequently Asked Questions

In what ways can erectile dysfunction be diagnosed?

When seeking medical assistance for symptoms of erectile dysfunction (ED), your doctor will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine if any underlying health conditions could be contributing to the issue. This evaluation typically includes:

  • Physical examination: This involves an examination of the testicles and penis.
  • Blood and urine tests: These tests are conducted to detect potential health problems such as heart disease, low testosterone levels, and diabetes, which could be linked to erectile dysfunction.
  • Mental health evaluation: Your doctor may conduct a mental health assessment to identify any psychological factors such as depression, anxiety, or stress that may be contributing to ED.
  • Ultrasound: In some cases, an ultrasound may be recommended to evaluate blood flow to the penis and identify any potential vascular issues affecting erectile function.

How can couples manage ED?

Erectile dysfunction can place strain on a relationship, often leading to emotional challenges for both partners. Men experiencing ED may avoid sexual intimacy due to feelings of embarrassment or inadequacy, which can leave their partners feeling unfulfilled or rejected. Open communication between partners is crucial in addressing these challenges. Some couples may choose to explore treatment options for ED together, while others may prefer individual approaches. However, lack of communication can be a barrier to seeking treatment and may prolong the emotional distress associated with ED.

Feelings of embarrassment surrounding sexual health issues can prevent many men from seeking the necessary medical attention, resulting in delayed diagnosis and treatment of underlying conditions. It's important to recognise that ED is a common issue that can usually be treated effectively and safely with proper medical care.

When diagnosing erectile dysfunction, what symptoms should you look for?

  • Capability to achieve an erection prior to sexual intercourse but incapacity to sustain it during the act.
  • Irregular ability to attain an erection before engaging in sexual activity.
  • Needing heightened stimulation to uphold an erection.
  • Total inability to achieve an erection.

At what age do men usually get erectile dysfunction?

Medical professionals and researchers estimate that erectile dysfunction affects more than half of men between the ages of 40 and 70. However, these figures may be underestimated as many individuals do not seek help for ED due to feelings of shame or embarrassment.

When should I visit a doctor?

If you have worries regarding your erections or encounter additional sex-related difficulties, such as premature or delayed ejaculation, it is better to seek consultation with a doctor. Moreover, seeking medical attention is advised if you have underlying health conditions such as heart disease or diabetes that could be linked to erectile dysfunction or if you experience accompanying symptoms alongside ED.
