Erectile dysfunction and its treatment

Men around the world have known to experience some or the other sexual problems, which can be problematic to an extent that they affect a man's sex life. It can also cause a person to lose his self esteem and self confidence. Erectile dysfunction is one of the common sexual problems experienced by men. It is a condition in which a man has difficulties in achieving or sustaining erections long enough for completing a sexual act satisfactorily. You can suffer from erectile problems because of physical factors such as diabetes, high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, high cholesterol, injuries to your spinal cord or nervous system and obesity. Psychological factors that can cause erectile problems include stress, guilt, anxiety, depression, sexual boredom, conflicts with your partner and unresolved issues pertaining sexual orientation.

As such, this condition is a temporary one, and is experienced by all men at least once in their life time. But some can experience this condition for a prolonged period of time, when treatment becomes inevitable. Viagra, Cialis and Levitra are three most popular prescription medications available as erectile dysfunction treatment. Viagra, is the oldest and the first erectile dysfunction treatment to be introduced on the market. It was initially manufactured by Pfizer as a treatment for treating patients with high blood pressure. When, during the clinical trials, they observed that it helped men with their erectile problems, they introduced the drug as an impotence treatment. You can buy Viagra in the dosage strengths of 25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg, which is prescribed as per the severity of the condition. The pill works by increasing the blood flow in your penis by relaxing the corpora cavernosa muscles, allowing you to have better erections.

Cialis is another erectile dysfunction treatment that is becoming popular among men.
