Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the condition when a man cannot keep firmness of his penis (the male sex organ) long enough to have sex with his partner. To be stamped as a case of ED, the condition has to be of long duration.
Mere occasional flaccidness is not included in the pathogenesis of this disease. It should not be confused with the term ‘impotence’ as this includes all features that interfere with sexual intercourse and reproduction. The term ‘impotence’ signifies decreased libido, difficulties with the ejaculation and to attain orgasm. When we call a case as ED, we rule out the latter causes. It can affect a man at any age, but the common victim is men over 60 years. The main pathology of ED is reduced blood supply in the penile muscles preventing the ability to maintain the rigidity.
The major causes of ED include –
High blood pressure
Obesity
Diabetes
Cardiac problems
Stress
Anxiety
Depression
Alcoholism and excessive smoking
Hormonal disorders (hypogonadism)
Brain or Spinal cord injuries
Sometimes after bladder and prostate surgery
Certain medications
Getting a proper clinical history is the key to diagnose a case of ED. There are some tests like ultrasonography of the penile musculature, Nocturnal tumescence test and Dynamic infusion cavernosometry with cavernosography to help to pinpoint a case of ED.
Psychological evaluation and behavioral therapy is required if the main cause is from psychogenic. There are some good medication like Sildenafil, Tadalafil and Vardenafil. These drugs increase blood flow to the penile blood vessels by increasing the lumen. Surgical intervention can be made to implant a device inside the penile muscles to maintain the rigidity.
