Erectile Dysfunction Laguna Hills, CA
Advanced Solutions for ED & Impotence
Erectile dysfunction (ED) refers to the inability to achieve and maintain an erection strong enough to allow sexual intercourse. This is also referred to as impotence. Impotence differs from other male sexual dysfunctions such as premature ejaculation, Klinefelter syndrome (little or no sperm) Peyronie’s disease (severe penile curvature) and priapism (painful, prolonged erections).
Most researchers believe that ED has physical causes rather than psychological. Certain physical problems can affect the blood supply to the penis. Without adequate blood flow, erection and intercourse are impossible. Though most men encounter ED in their 60s, it is not uncommon for younger men in their 40s and 50s to experience problems, as well.
Impotence has many causes
Cardiovascular factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, smoking and family history of heart disease can contribute to ED. Other conditions that can cause ED include coronary artery disease and peripheral vascular disease. Men who have had pelvic surgery or radiation treatments for pelvic cancer or who take certain medications are also at risk.
