\"ED,<\/a>Many people refer to ED as \u201cimpotence,\u201d but this is not the case.\u00a0 Impotence is a condition where man\u2019s libido may be low and he does not desire sex.\u00a0 It can also be used to describe problems with fertility, ejaculation, and orgasm.<\/p>\n

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a problem that affects many men, and often it is a result of physical injury, disease, or a side effect of prescription drugs.\u00a0 Although ED is most commonly considered to be a problem with older men, it can affect men of all ages, although most younger men suffering with ED developed the condition as a result of nerve damage.<\/p>\n

Erectile dysfunction is a medical term that means the repeated inability to achieve or maintain and erection.\u00a0 This means that the other problems associated with impotence are not involved and are not an issue.\u00a0 Neither of these conditions are something that should be a cause for embarrassment, as they are very common and easily treated.<\/p>\n

The amount of men seeking help for ED has increased significantly over the past 20 years.\u00a0 Currently about 5 percent of 40-year-old men and between 15 and 25 percent of 65-year-old men experience ED.\u00a0\u00a0 Although there is no definite answer as to why this increase in ED is occurring.\u00a0 Some scientists suggest that it could be a result of the increasing use of anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medications.\u00a0 Another well accepted theory is that the increase is a result of chemicals and hormones found in our food.\"ED,<\/a><\/p>\n

Luckily there are many treatment options for men suffering with this condition.\u00a0 One option is to try one of the proven effective prescription medications such as Viagra<\/a> or Cialis<\/a>.\u00a0 These products help the majority of people who have ED, so it is certainly worth a try.<\/p>\n

If none of the medications work your doctor may suggest surgical procedures such as an implanted device that will correct the problem.\u00a0 There are also procedures to unclog arteries blocking blood flow, or for closing veins that cause blood to leak from the tissue.<\/p>\n

Be sure to discuss your options with your doctor as soon as you can.\u00a0 There is no reason to go another day with the stress of ED in the back of your mind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
