Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the inability to get or keep an erection firm enough to have sexual intercourse. It is also sometimes also referred to as impotence.
Having erection trouble from time to time isn't necessarily a cause for concern. If erectile dysfunction is an ongoing issue, however, it can cause stress, affect your self-confidence and contribute to relationship problems. Problems getting or keeping an erection also can be a sign of an underlying health condition that needs treatment and a risk factor for heart disease down the road.
Furthermore, it is worthy to state clearly that occasional ED is not uncommon. Many men experience it during times of stress. However, frequent ED can be a sign of health problems that need treatment. It can also be a sign of emotional or relationship difficulties that may need to be addressed by a professional. 
Also, not all male sexual problems are caused by ED. Other types of male sexual dysfunction include:
Although the risk of ED increases with age, ED is not an inevitable consequence of getting older. It may be more difficult to get an erection as you age, but that does not necessarily you mean you will develop ED. In general, the healthier a man is, the better his sexual function.
HOW DOES A MAN GET AN ERECTION?
An erection is the result of increased blood flow into the penis. Blood flow is usually stimulated by either sexual thoughts or direct contact with the penis.
When a man becomes sexually excited, muscles in the penis relax. This relaxation allows for increased blood flow through the penile arteries. This blood fills two chambers inside the penis called the corpora cavernosa. As the chambers fill with blood, the penis grows rigid. Erection ends when the muscles contract and the accumulated blood can flow out through the penile veins.
ED can occur because of problems at any stage of the erection process. For example, the penile arteries may be too damaged to open properly and allow blood in.
The potential causes of ED are numerous. They include:
These factors can work singly or in ccombination
WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION?
Erectile dysfunction, ED, is defined as an inability to get or sustain an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse. It has no other symptoms.
WHAT ARE THE AVAILABLE REMEDIES OF ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION?
ED is a treatable condition. There are a number of ED treatments available. The type of treatment generally depends on the underlying cause of ED.
Treatments for ED range from counseling and lifestyle changes to drugs and surgery. However, there is a new technology that has proven very effective in the treatment of ED. It is known as shockwave therapy.
SHOCKWAVE THERAPY TO TREAT ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION
The primary reasons responsible for ED deals with the changes that occur in the muscle and vascular system in the penis: cardiovascular disease, diabetes, high cholesterol, smoking, and hypertension being the root cause. An erection is basically a water balloon filled with blood instead of water. Blood fills the corpus cavernosum (the two spongy tissue sections running along either side of the penis), causing the penis to stand hard and proud.
Erectile dysfunction also has categories which vary from mild to medium and severe. There have been various developments made in this direction to improve the quality of sex lives of many and Low-intensity shock wave treatment (LIST) is an effort in the same direction.
Because it can be embarrassing to discuss ED, many men look for treatment options online. However, not all treatments are safe for all men. You should not self-prescribe for ED. In addition, many of the treatments available on the Internet are scams. They may not help your ED, and could damage your health.
