Healthy Hearts and Healthy Erections

In order to achieve and maintain an erection, three conditions must occur:

· the nerves to the penis must be functioning properly

· the blood circulation to the penis must be adequate

· there must be a stimulus from the brain

If there is something interfering with any or all of these conditions, a full erection will be prevented; this is also known as Erectile Disfunction or ED


Is ED a normal part of aging?

No. While older men may need more stimulation to achieve an erection, they should still be able to enjoy both a good erection and good sex.


Common causes of ED include:

Vascular disease: atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), hypertension (high blood pressure), and high cholesterol account for 70% of physical-related causes of ED.

Diabetes: between 35% and 50% of men with diabetes experience ED.

Psychological factors: stress, depression, and performance anxiety can all be causes of ED.


Solutions

ED can be overcome without having to use Viagra, Cialis or other medication and effective Health & Wellbeing Coaching is a good place to start!!
