Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a male sexual dysfunction
characterized by the inability to develop or maintain an erection of the penis
during sexual performance. Erectile dysfunction affects 10-15% of all males and can be emotionally and psychologically disabling for men and their partners. It is more common in men over 65 years, but it can occur at any age.  In 80% of erectile dysfunction cases, physical factors such as drugs or abnormalities with blood flow, nerve impulses or hormones are the major causes. Psychological factors account for the remaining cases and may be attributed to stress, performance anxiety or inadequate knowledge about sexuality. Erectile dysfunction can cause emotional stress between partners. Many times, men will avoid sex due to their emotional pain associated with erectile dysfunction, causing their partner to feel rejected or inadequate. Some couples consider seeking treatment together, while in other cases, men prefer to seek treatment without their partner’s knowledge. The loss of erectile capacity can have a profound effect on a man. The good news is that erectile dysfunction can usually be treated safely and effectively. Depending on whether the cause of the erection problem is physical or psychological, the urologist may prescribe a change in medication, hormone replacement, antidepressant therapy, devices, or self injection to promote erections. In some cases, the patient may opt for a surgical alternative, such as insertion of a penile implant |

Posted on: 01/02/2012 Hello I am 30 years old an a virgin. I will remain a virgin for the rest of my life because I have exstreme social dificulties and I found that I prefer to remain single anyway. On e thing is really bothering me, I hardly get erections and when ever I do they last for a very short time. I thought about telling my doctor about my condition but I was way too afraid to ask him about treating my sexual dysfunction because in all the E.D. commercials all the men have a sexual partner, they never show any men who are single like me in those commercials. All I want to know is do men with out a sexual partner also talk to their doctor about taking medication to get rid of there E.D?

Posted on: 02/21/2012 You should consult with your Doctor...it is important to do because you are young for having this kind of problems. Just be honest with him about your sexual history, after ruling out meds and physical trauma, next step might be psych consult..one thing is you decide not to be in a commited relationship, but having social issues it is a concern. Hope it helps! |

Posted on: 11/03/2011 Hi
I am 24 years old. I am facing a very peculiar problem. I think that the size of penis has reduced a little in this past one year. Though it is reason good enough to worry , but my main problem is not that. Since the past 6-8 months I am not having strong erections. Sometimes I do have them while watching some porn but that is very rare. I do have a decent erection during the foreplay , but after 15-20 mins of the foreplay , when me and my partner want to have intercourse I lose my erection or to be more precise my penis is only 20% erect and thus it becomes even more embarrassing . I do masturbate and have an 70-80% erect penis which stays erect for 15-20 mins at maximum. Please Help

Posted on: 11/28/2011 If you are 24yrs there should be no great problem. Size does NOT REDUCE at this stage- in cold weather it may look a bit smaller than normal. |
