For
an erection to occur, blood flows into the penis, causing it to expand and
stiffen, which is sparked by impulses from the brain to the genital nerves. ED
can be caused when these impulses are blocked or the flow of blood to the penis
is restricted. Chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease,
atherosclerosis, kidney disease and multiple sclerosis can be common underlying
causes. Certain medications, psychological factors and injuries could also be
factors leading to ED.
Treatments
for ED include medications, lifestyle changes, injections, surgeries and
devices. Common medications prescribed for ED include sildenafil (Viagra®),
tadalafil (Cialis®), vardenafil hydrochloride (Levitra®) and avanafil
(StendraTM), which are taken orally prior to intercourse. This group of
medications, called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE-5) inhibitors, increase the
flow of blood to the penis. It can be dangerous for men to take PDE-5 concurrently
with nitrate drugs for heart disease or alpha-blockers for benign prostate
hyperplasia (BPH). There is a 50% success rate using drug therapy; the
remaining 50% of unsuccessful patients may opt to get vasodilators injected
into the penis. Other options for when drug therapy options fail include the
use of a vacuum device or penile implant surgeries. While the condition is
quite common, only approximately 20% of men who experience ED will seek
treatment.
ED
implantation procedures are performed in outpatient offices and are completed
in 1 or 2 hours. Vacuum constriction devices are external devices that use a
constriction band or ring to help maintain an erection. They can be preferred
over implantation procedures as they are non-invasive.
Erectile
dysfunction (ED) can be described as the frequent inability for a man to attain
and sustain an erection; this could inhibit sexual intercourse and affect
quality of life. Onset of ED can begin at the age of 40 and affects 18 to 30
million men. Occasional failure to achieve an erection is not uncommon but a
prevalence of 50% or more of the time could be an indication that treatment is
required. ED tends to increase with age but treatment can be sought at any age.
