Something about Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction(ED) is the lack of the capacity to sustain an erection in men necessary for sexual intercourse. For those men who are victims, it turns out to be a shameful experience that most never want to expose, hence the difficulty in getting remedy. In Singapore, erectile dysfunction is particularly not interesting as it is estimated that approximately 51.3% of men have issues. The percentage comprises those with mild, moderate and severe erectile dysfunction Singapore at 23.2%, 8.8%and 19.3% respectively.

Several sources are linked to ED, including both psychological and physical causes. A major cause to ED is ageing, with a ratio of 1 to 20 for men above 40 years and 1 to5 for those in their early 60s. If you are a victim and not affected by the age factor, probably your ED might have resulted from heart malfunctions and conditions, diabetes, smoking, low testosterone, high blood pressure, neurological conditions, high cholesterol levels or spinal cord trauma.

If you might have undergone an abdominal surgery before, then it can also be the cause of your ED. The brain is the key player in the complex process of maintaining an erection, so anything that affects your brain will definitely lower your erection. Psychological problems such as stress, fatigue, depression or relationship issues with your partner can also lead to an ED problem. If you are suffering from performance anxiety you are likely to experience ED as well.

If not taken care of, ED can lead to sexual dissatisfaction in relationships and marriages which mostly is a major result of break ups in Singapore and the world over. It can also cause sexual frustrations.

Diagnosis for ED can be done through blood tests, urine test or ultra sounds to check for signs of diabetes and heart diseases. Ultra sound is done to check the flow of blood in the veins, though it might not be necessary.

Erectile dysfunction Singapore medications include therapy for hormone replacement, which is done for those men with a low level of testosterone. Psychological counseling can also bring results for those with psychological problems. Nutritional approach is also be used where a nutritionist will guide you through appropriate supplement such as L-arginine to lower ED.
