Understanding Erectile Dysfunction by Jason Long The mechanism in the curing of the penis is quite complicated. That is the boost brain stimuli principle, signals through the nerve spinal cord trigger actions. These signs will induce the release of chemicals that cause blood vessels to send blood into the penis which makes the penis larger. The tissue of the penis looks like a sponge. Put together a solid erection of the penis occurs when blood vessels into the tissues have full expansion. Such an expansion is going to hit the vein cause blood to flow out of the penis. The causes of erectile dysfunction may be caused by a malfunction of one of the factors mentioned above. It may cause physical or psychological problems that is in its global perspective, called an “erectile dysfunction”. Although not having an erection of the penis is normal and not a sign of a chronic problem, people who are experiencing this problem should consult a medical expert. The best way to cure it, will vary based on the cause of the erectile dysfunction. Causes of Erectile Dysfunction The various causal elements listed below can be simple from time to time, risk factor aggravating factor or primary cause of erectile dysfunction •
Tobacco habit (smoking)
•
Acromegaly
•
Alcoholism and other forms of substance abuse on luxuries
•
Atherosclerosis, Dyslipidemia
•
Low levels of testosterone, hypogonadism
•
Liver cirrhosis
•
Depression, anxiety, emotional stress, low self-esteem, performance anxiety, family and relational conflicts etc.
•
Diabetes
•
Lower urinary tract infections
•
Surgery (e.g. patients with Prostatectomy prostate, Transurethral resection of the prostate with lesions of peripheral nerves) or trauma affecting the pelvic area or spinal cord
•
Chronic renal insufficiency
•
Hypercholesterolemia
•
Hyperprolactinemia
•
Hypertension
•
Heart disease (heart disease)
•
Thyroid disease accompanied by hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism
•
Parkinson's disease
•
Obesity
•
Pelvic radiotherapy or perineal area
•
Multiple sclerosis
•
Metabolic syndrome
•
Cushing's syndrome
•
Excessive stress
•
Treatments for prostate cancer or prostate hypertrophy
Often different causal elements are intertwined with each other and feed off each other; for example, obesity is frequently associated with metabolic syndrome, low testosterone levels, atherosclerosis, diabetes, reduced physical activity and psychological impacts that affect sexual health. When organic erectile dysfunction is caused by physical factors such as vascular disease or diabetes; in turn classified based on: •
neurogenic
•
endocrine disruption
•
vascular systems
•
psychogenic erectile dysfunction, if it depends on stress, anxiety or other psychological factors.
•
When drug erectile dysfunction is caused by treatment with drugs that directly or indirectly can cause erectile dysfunction:
•
Hypertension: diuretics (thiazides, spironolactone), centrally acting antihypertensive (methyldopa, clonidine, reserpine), α-blockade (prazosin, terazosin), β-blockers (atenolol, metoprolol, propranolol)
•
Antidepressants: tricyclic antidepressants, MAO inhibitors, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors.
•
antipsychotics: phenothiazine
•
anticonvulsants (carbamazepine, phenytoin)
•
anti-ulcer agents (cimetidine, ranitidine, FAMOTIDINE)
•
anti-androgen (cyproterone acetate, finasteride, ketoconazole, estrogens, progestins, GnRH analogues)
•
heroin, morphine, cocaine, methadone
Often, however, the etiology is mixed (erectile dysfunction), with the involvement of psychological causes, endocrine, vascular, neurological, traumatic and iatrogenic.
