Everyone knows what erectile dysfunction (ED) is, but no one seems to talk about it. To put it in layman’s terms, ED happens when the male reproduction organ is unable to perform sexually as it should.
Since we are living in an ‘appearance-conscious’ society, it inevitably forces one to be self-conscious, thus threatening one’s self-esteem and ultimate happiness. ED is, however, not incurable as most people think because medical treatment and advancement in the medical field enable ED to be treated as long as one seeks help.
There are two different mechanisms governing a penis to erect. The fist is the reflex system where your spine and peripheral nerves both react when touched directly in the penile shaft. The second is caused by emotional and erotic stimuli catalyzed by the limbic system of the brain.
During the stimulation of the penile shaft, your nervous system secretes nitric oxide which causes the relaxation of smooth muscles of the main erectile tissue of the penis known as corpora cavernosa. A healthy production of testosterone levels and pituitary gland also assist in a healthy erection. Impotence can be caused by hormonal deficiency, disorders of the neural system, lack of blood supply and psychological problems. Restriction of blood flow can arise from coronary artery disease.
