Do you have problems with an erection?

An erection problem is when a man cannot get or keep an erection that is firm enough to have intercourse. You may be unable to get an erection at all. Or, you may lose the erection during intercourse before you are ready. If the condition continues, it is called erectile dysfunction.
You must be open to discuss the problem with someone. Many times the problem is psychological and not physical. DO YOU NEED HELP?

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a medical term that describes the inability to achieve and or maintain an erect penis adequate for sexual function. This condition is one of the most common sexual problems for men and increases with age. It is estimated between 15 to 30 million American men suffer from ED, although not all men are equally distressed by the problem.

Most men have difficulty with erections from time to time, yet in some men, it is a regular and more severe problem.  It can cause low self-esteem, performance anxiety, depression and stress.  ED may affect the quality of a marriage or intimate relationships.  However, there are many safe and effective ED treatments available.

What happens under normal conditions?

Achieving a normal erection is a complex process involving psychological impulses from the brain, adequate levels of the male sex hormone testosterone, a functioning nervous system, and adequate and healthy vascular tissue in the penis.

The simplest way to describe the process of erection is to think of a washing machine. The "on-off" switch (the brain) initiates the process; the wires in the washing machine (the nerves) carry the electrical signal to the pipes (the blood vessels), when an appropriate signal arrives a valve opens to allow water to flow in (the arteries carry blood into the penis) and the drain shuts (the penile veins close). Water flows in and fills the tank (the penis fills with blood and becomes erect) and the wash cycle begins (enjoys sexual activity). At the end of the wash cycle this process reverses, the switch goes to the off position (the brain terminates erection), the valve closes (the arteries markedly decrease blood inflow) and the drain opens draining the wash tank of water (the veins open, blood leaves the penis and erection subsides).

How do erections occur?

When a man is not sexually aroused, his penis is soft, limp or flaccid.  During sexual arousal, nerve messages release chemicals that increase blood flow into the penis.  The blood flows into two erection chambers made of spongy tissue (the corpus cavernosum) in the penis.  The “smooth muscle” in the erection chambers relaxes, which allows blood to enter and remain in the chambers.  The pressure of the blood in the chambers makes the penis firm, producing an erection.  After a man has an orgasm, the blood flows out of the chambers and the erection subsides.
