Erectile dysfunction is the inability to have an erection or to maintain an erection, or ejaculate; impotence. Symptoms may also include loss of sexual desire (libido), premature ejaculation, or inability to achieve orgasm. Almost half of all men experience erectile dysfunction only occasionally.
Beware of sexual performance-enhancing drugs as they have many side effects, and have accounted for over 200 deaths per year. (Some have remarked that they died with a smile on their face; a small consolation for their family.) Some ad disclaimers read that it is possible to have an erection for more than four hours. Again, beware.
Causes can be physical, psychological, or drug-induced. Several conditions may contribute to erectile dysfunction by impairing blood flow to the penis. These include atherosclerosis, diabetes, hypo-thyroidism, multiple sclerosis, and chronic alcohol abuse. Diabetes often plays a big part with either the severity of the disease or the drugs to treat it.
High cholesterol. Along with this health issue, prescription drugs used to treat high cholesterol often have the undesirable side effect that creates liver problems. The Chinese say irritability or anger is a liver imbalance. Grumpiness is not a romantic state. On top of liver imbalances, there may be aching muscles, muscle wasting, lowered energy, and also a possible connection to ALS.
Natural treatments for high cholesterol include regular exercise and change of diet, as well as several natural supplements. Garlic, Red Yeast Rice Extract, Policosinol Extract, and many others have shown to improve health as well as lower cholesterol.
Prescription drugs. The main culprits here are anti-depressants and heart medications. Check with your doctor to evaluate your medication regularly. Do not go off medications without your doctor’s supervision.
From a natural perspective, as the man returns to better health symptoms subside. Some men are more susceptible than others.
Use natural supplements. In the nutritional industry, sexual performance-enhancing supplements are selling well. As the urinary and sex organ systems are connected, the benefit is better sexual performance. L-Arginine is an amino acid (protein) that enhances male genital blood flow without side effects.
What you can do naturally…
Change some bad habits. Ok, so you don’t want to hear about bad habits, but there is still time to start a New Year’s resolution to get rid of tobacco, alcohol, coffee or black tea.
Besides cancer and respiratory problems, tobacco restricts your ability to have blood flow into certain important parts (male parts). Alcohol, although it can release your inhibitions, has a boomerang effect; the initial relaxation, and then an over-stimulation effect, disrupting blood flow into those important parts. Coffee and black tea irritate the whole genitourinary system. If you cut out these things, you will have more money and energy to take out your partner!
Have some grape juice. Now for a surprise from a recent study, several men have reported an improved sex drive from consuming 8 ounces of Concord grape juice each day. In addition to the super antioxidants, all the male parts work better.
