Erectile dysfunction - GDP (genesis, diagnosis, and prognosis)
"Erectile dysfunction" is the last word that any man would want to hear. It is of no big surprise that this type of sexual dysfunction is surrounded by number of misconceptions. But recent medical discoveries have shed more light on the causes of erectile dysfunction. It is no longer a matter of shame or embarrassment that ought to be kept under wraps forever. Earlier, it was believed that impotence is only found in older men and that age contributes to the development of this condition. But it has been found that erectile dysfunction is also prevalent among younger men. Certain lifestyle patterns and psychological issues can make young men vulnerable to this problem.
How impotence develops
An erection is an inseparable part of sex. The science behind erection is that when sexually aroused, the brain sends reflexes to blood vessels via nerves to relax and let blood flow to the penis. The twin chambers inside the penis are known as corpus cavernosa. As blood enters these chambers, they expand and produce an erection. Blood is prevented from draining out again by valves present in the penis. A whole host of sequential processes work in conjunction to bring about an erection; so a little disruption in any of these processes can lead to failure in getting an erection. Any health condition that disrupts the free flow of blood either by calcifying the arteries or blocking the arteries can also cause erectile problems. Stress, depression, anxiety, relationship problems, and lack of interest in sex are some of the psychological problems that can also lead to impotence.
