ED is the hidden epidemic of the modern world. As research for this blog, i asked a few close friends about their experiences with Erectile Dysfunction. Amazingly a Doctor i spoke with, revealed the statistics and i was blown away by the extent of the problem in relatively young men. The doctor quoted, a simple equation that can be used to understand the amount of men affected. 20% of men in their twenties, 30% of men in their thirties, 40% of men in their forties, 50% of men in their fifties and 60% in their sixties and so on, are occasionally or always affected by ED
Viagra
Viagra works by increasing the flow of blood to the penis and is very effective in allowing men with some stimulation to achieve an erection.
0ther brand names and alternatives are Cialis, Staxyn, Levitea and Stenrea and they all work in slightly different ways on men, meaning if one brand doesn't work then another may do the trick.
Viagra Natural Alternatives
Viagra whilst currently viewed as the best treatment, should only be used after discussing the problem with doctor as other causes should be examined before treatment. Herbal methods are also sometimes effective, as well as looking at other lifestyle factors such as addiction, alcohol use, smoking, stress and other medical issues should be eliminated as causes before treatment with Viagra and other medical solutions to ED. Psychological or relationship issues can also be a cause and counselling has proven very useful for many men. Ginkgo Biloba is a herb used for memory enhancement and has also been effective as a cure for ED as it is thought to increase blood flow too. Arginine also increases blood flow and as with all the other medications and herbs mentioned in this article, they should not be used by those with heart issues and those who use heart medications. Please consult with a health care professional before using any product that can increase blood flow. DHEA i useful for men with low testosterone levels and other medicines can be used for this issue too. Yohimbe is another herbal that can drastically increase blood flow.
