In Erectile dysfunction keeping an erection for long enough to allow satisfactory sexual activity is difficult.

Erectile dysfunction has a viable cure in medications

Erectile dysfunction is one of the most common sexual problems and affects around half of all men over 40 at some point. It becomes more common and severe, as men get older.

There are a number of causes of Erectile dysfunction. In around two thirds of cases, there are physical problems affecting the blood supply. However, there is a complex relationship between physical and psychological aspects of sexual function because physical health problems can cause psychological distress that can have an additional effect on erection problems.

The cure for Erectile dysfunction starts with a physical examination that includes taking the blood pressure and checking the pulses in the legs. The penis and scrotum will be examined. The doctor may request blood tests to look for medical problems for Erectile dysfunction, such as anaemia, diabetes, high cholesterol or hormone abnormalities that might be a contributory factor. A large number of males suffer from Erectile dysfunction but there are only a few that seek medical help.

With the major breakthrough by Pfizer in launching Viagra , erectile dysfunction was no longer a hush hush affair. It got wide publicity and Viagra started selling like hot cakes. After that phase Levitra and Cialis made the podium with better success as they were improved versions of Viagra.
