Erectile Dysfunction Causes

vErectile dysfunction (impotence) is the repeated inability to get or keep an erection that is firm enough for sexual intercourse. Erectile dysfunction can be a total inability to achieve an erection, an inconsistent ability to do so, or a tendency to sustain only brief erections. A decade ago discussing erectile dysfunction was taboo but Viagra initiated the needed change and today discussing erectile dysfunction is an accepted norm.

Lack of sleep and impotence can affect you. You can avoid this by simply resting properly the night before. This will give your body all the necessary charging time that you need to rejuvenate and be ready to perform.
 

Earlier the cause of erection problems was thought to be 'all in the man's mind.'

However, recent research shows that the cause of erection problems can be psychological as well as physiological in nature and are commonly reported in elderly men above 65 years of age; this is based on the data that this age group is more likely to suffer from conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure.

The working of both, Cialis and Viagra is along common lines, but there are various points of differentiation. This is why there are questions about which is the better option - Cialis or Viagra. The point is that your selection of the right prescription erectile dysfunction medication is entirely dependant on your needs and requirements as well as your suitability for the drug; your doctor is the best person to decides which prescription medication best suits you.

These diseases actually interfere in the complex process that is required to achieve an erection. In younger men, erectile dysfunction generally results from psychological causes like depression, stress or relationship problems.

Viagra was the first prescription impotence pill on the scene, having been introduced in 1998. Cialis also dubbed 'The Weekend Pill' emerged on the scene in 2003. What this means is that five years of documented success separate Cialis and Viagra.

Since an erection requires a precise sequence of events, erectile dysfunction occurs when any one of the events is disrupted. The sequence of events includes nerve impulses in the brain, spinal column, and in the area around the penis, as well as positive responses in the muscles, fibrous tissues, veins and the arteries that are present in and near the corpora cavernosa in the penis.

First, let's look at the working of both medications. Cialis, active ingredient tadalafil; and Viagra, active ingredient sildenafil, belong to a family of drugs known as PDE-5 inhibitors. They block the action of the enzyme known as PDE-5 which is responsible for the breaking down of the cGMP, a chemical responsible for your erection. It is this chemical that relaxes arterial walls to facilitate the flow of blood into the penis, thus causing and maintaining an erection.
