Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction, sometimes known as impotence, is a common problem amongst men and may be caused by age, being overweight, smoking, drinking too much alcohol, or having a medical condition like diabetes, high blood pressure, or cardiovascular disease.

The inability to create or maintain an erection happens when there isn’t enough blood flowing to the penis, if the penis cannot trap blood, or when the nerve signals don’t send the signal of arousal to the penis.

Diabetes can cause nerve damage in the penis, in addition to certain cancer treatments affecting its functionality.

Sildenafil, the active ingredient in Viagra, Eropid and Aronix, is one of the most popular and effective treatments for erectile dysfunction.

It’s a type of medicine known as a PDE5 inhibitor, which works by blocking an enzyme that regulates blood flow into the penis.

When you’re sexually stimulated, sildenafil will increase this blood flow into the penis and heighten the natural process of arousal.

Although it’s best to speak to a medical professional if you’re struggling with ED, some research suggests that taking vitamins could improve your symptoms, especially if they’re taken alongside other medications like Viagra.

Vitamin D is the most studied vitamin when it comes to sexual health, and having a low level could be making your symptoms of ED worse.

Red ginseng could increase your alertness, potentially improving your ED.

The amino acid L-arginine can help stimulate an erection, while L-carnitine may support the blood flowing to the penis.

High blood pressure (also known as hypertension) can cause erectile dysfunction, as it puts strain on your blood vessels, potentially causing damage.

In order to get an erection, your blood vessels need to open up and allow blood flow into the penis, so damage to your blood vessels can affect your ability to get an erection.

Lowering your high blood pressure could help to ease your ED, so we’d recommend asking your doctor for advice if you’re concerned that your blood pressure could be playing a part in your impotence.
