As men age, certain health related issues can begin to surface, such as diabetes, high cholesterol, heart disease, and prostate problems. So, what exactly causes ED? While research still has no clear answer, the end result is always decreased blood flow.

Men who smoke are about twice as likely to develop ED as nonsmokers. Smoking hampers circulation to all areas of the body, including the genitals, making it tougher to get and keep an erection.
They work for most men and can be used if medicine is not suitable or does not work.
Impotence, also called erectile dysfunction (ED), can be a very frustrating problem. Some men are able to achieve an erection but are not able to maintain one. Others are not able to achieve one at all. Causes of impotence can be both physiological (affecting mostly the body and organs) or psychological (affecting the mind). Luckily, there are natural remedies for impotence you can try.
Although some supplements like Testosterone Support can help to address factors that are linked to erectile dysfunction (such as testosterone levels), many men find it more convenient to take erectile dysfunction medicine (e.g. sildenafil or tadalafil) because it usually treats erectile dysfunction symptoms faster than taking a supplement. It can take a long time (sometimes months) for the beneficial effects of supplements to build in the body. However, erectile dysfunction tablets can help men to achieve stronger erections in as little as 30 minutes, which is why they are often regarded as “go-to” treatments for erectile dysfunction.

Any of the PDE-5 inhibitors can also cause your blood pressure to drop (though Stendra is less likely to cause this to happen). You might think that’s a good thing, but blood pressure that gets too low is also dangerous. If you get dizzy from taking any of these medications, you should discuss with a healthcare provider; this could indicate a potentially unsafe drop in blood pressure. No planning needed — you take a pill once a day Can be taken with or without food Can also be taken only as needed Proven among the most effective ED treatments Tends to be preferred by men and their partners, compared to sildenafil More affordable than medications like Stendra Far more affordable than brand-name equivalents Costs a little more than sildenafil Risk of mild side effects is slightly higher than Stendra

Our medical clinic specializes in non-surgical treatment options for impotence in order to prevent harmful side effects or painful recoveries. Other treatment options such as surgeries from a urologist, are not only uncomfortable during and after the treatment, but also have the potential to cause serious side effects.
In this study, ED proceeded CVD in almost 70% of cases. Similarly, many men with ED have been found to have pre-existing CVD. A study by Vlachopoulos et al evaluated the incidence of asymptomatic CVD in 50 men with ED.22 These authors found that 19% of men with ED had asymptomatic CVD. Similarly, Mulhall and colleagues found that 20% of men presenting with ED and vascular insufficiency on penile duplex had asymptomatic CVD.23
All of these are phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors (also known as PDE-5 inhibitors). They work by enhancing the effects of nitric oxide to relax the penile muscles, expand blood vessels that go into the penis, and improve penile blood flow. This helps improve the ability to get and maintain erections.

When too much sugar is present in the blood as it is with those with poor diets, this increase in concentration can damage nerves and blood vessels--the same nerves and blood vessels responsible for a normal erection. This increased sugar concentration in the blood provides a poor environment for nerve activity, resulting in poor signaling and less activated nerves to supply blood and girth.

DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is a hormone that our body’s adrenal glands typically produce. Production of DHEA naturally drops as we age, but DHEA is a precursor to the sex hormones testosterone and estrogen.
