Trusted resource for urological education of the patient


Erectile dysfunction, or ED, is the most common sexual problem that men report to their doctor. It affects about 30 million men. ED is defined as problems to achieve or maintain an erection that is firm enough to have sex. Although it is not uncommon for a man to have problems with erections from time to time, Erectile dysfunction is progressive or occurs routinely. With sex it is not normal, and should be treated.
ED can happen:
  • More often when the blood flow in the penis is limited or the nerves are damaged
  • With stress or emotional reasons.
  • As an early warning of a more serious illness, such as: atherosclerosis (hardening or blockage of the arteries), heart disease, high blood pressure or high blood sugar due to diabetes
Finding the cause (s) of your ED will help address the problem and help you with your general well-being. As a general rule, what is good for your heart's health is good for sexual health.
How erections work
During sexual arousal, the nerves release chemicals that increase the flow of blood to the penis. The blood flows in two chambers of erection in the penis, made of spongy muscle tissue. The chambers of the corpus cavernosum are not hollow.

During erection, the spongy tissues relax and trap the blood. Blood pressure in the chambers makes the penis firm, causing an erection. When a man has an orgasm, a second set of nerve signals reach the penis and cause the muscle tissues to contract and the blood is released back into the circulation of the man and the erection descends.
When you are not sexually aroused, the penis is soft and flaccid. Men may notice that the size of the penis varies with heat, cold or worry; This is normal and reflects the balance of the blood that enters and leaves the penis.
Finding the cause of your ED will help direct your treatment options.

The diagnosis of ED begins with the fact that your healthcare provider asks you questions about your cardiac and vascular health and your erection problem. Your provider can also do a physical exam, request lab tests, or refer you to a urologist.

History of health and erectile dysfunction
Your doctor will ask you questions about your health and lifestyle history. It is very valuable to share information about the drugs you take, whether you smoke or the amount of alcohol you drink. He / she will ask you about the recent stressors in your life. Talk openly with your doctor so that he / she can help you find the best treatment options.
