Why do men have problems getting an erection?

It is common and normal for men to suffer from erection problems at some point in their life. The cause of erectile dysfunction can be both physical or psychological.
Physical causes of erectile dysfunction may be more common in older men. Erection problems are due to decreased blood flow to the penis. High blood pressure, high cholesterol or diabetes can be the cause of this, along with hormonal issues, injury, or surgery.
Psychological causes of erectile dysfunction may be more common in younger men. Anxiety, depression, tiredness, and relationship problems can all cause erection problems. Hormones released by the body during the stress response narrow blood vessels, and so can make obtaining an erection more difficult.

What can I do to minimise erection problems?

Lifestyle choices can have an impact on erectile dysfunction symptoms. It is worthwhile looking at making simple healthy changes to your lifestyle.
Lifestyle changes which can help with erectile dysfunction symptoms include: –
Stop smoking, seek help from a health professional to help advise on the best way for you of quitting smoking.
Exercise daily.
Maintaining a healthy weight. i.e. lose weight if you are overweight to a healthy weight for your height.
Eat a healthy balanced diet i.e. a wide range of food in the right proportions. Ensuring to eat five fruits and vegetables every day, eating enough fibre, drinking plenty of fluids and keeping any sugar, fat, and salt to a minimum.
Reducing stress and anxiety. Deal with stress and anxiety in a healthy, appropriate way. Using alcohol or smoking to reduce stress will make erectile dysfunction problems worse.
Do not drink more than 14 units of alcohol a week.
If you are a cyclist do not cycle for more than 3 hours a week or have a trial period without cycling and see if there is an improvement of the erectile dysfunction.

Viagra as a treatment for erectile dysfunction.

A popular and effective treatment for erectile dysfunction is a medication called Viagra. Viagra contains the drug Sildenafil.
Viagra was the first oral drug to be released to treat erectile dysfunction. It has been available since 1998, with over 64 million men being prescribed it around the world since then. It has been shown that effective treatment of erectile dysfunction with Sildenafil can increase a man’s psychosocial quality of life.
Viagra is a PDE-5 inhibitor, which is short for the phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor.

How does Viagra work in the body?

Viagra works by increasing penile blood flow during sexual stimulation. The increase in blood flow leads to improved erectile function.
Viagra causes this action in the body through PDE-5 inhibition. This prevents the breakdown of cGMP in the penis and so there is an increase in the level of cGMP in the tissue. Increasing cGMP causes the smooth muscle to relax and with that increased arterial blood flow. Increase in blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation allows an erection to occur.

Is Viagra suitable for me?

A consultation with a Doctor or Pharmacist will assess if Viagra is a suitable treatment. There are certain health conditions which mean Viagra is not suitable for a patient and an alternative treatment should be used. A Doctor or Pharmacist will take into consideration any other symptoms there may be as well as concurrent medication. Your Doctor will be able to advise if any further investigations are necessary. This may involve urology, endocrinology, or cardiology investigations.
