Many men have lost their erection one time or another during their lives which is completely normal. However, if this happens consistently, then you need to see a specialist in this area. You can either visit a physician specialising in erectile dysfunction or a urologist. The key point is that all forms of erectile dysfunction are treatable.
To get some perspective, studies show that ED has affected the large number of the men at some point in their lives. Studies have revealed that close to 50% of all men between the age of 40-70 years and up to 70% of men above their 70’s suffer from ED to some extent. What these figures mean is that individuals with ED should not feel scared at all. The remedy is to visit a physician as soon as possible before their condition gets out of hand.
What Causes Erectile Dysfunction?
Before we look at the treatment options that are available for ED, we need to investigate the major causes of ED. There is a host of causes of ED, and the process of achieving hard erection is complicated. These causes can either be psychological or physical.
Erectile Dysfunction has mainly been attributed to high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels in the body, smoking, alcohol consumption, kidney disease, diabetes and certain medication. Psychological causes of ED include depression, anxiety, and stress.
Treatment Options Available For ED
Although there are numerous causes of ED, a huge percentage can be attributed to poor lifestyles. The first goal of treating ED would be to make changes to their lifestyle. Medically, getting in control of blood pressure and blood sugars would be beneficial. If you smoke, the idea would be to quit or at the very least reduce the amount you smoke. The same could also be said for alcohol consumption. If these changes don’t have the desired effect, the next step would be to treat with oral medication.
Various treatment options are available for erectile dysfunction that are licensed by the relevant regulatory bodies. Most of the treatment options for ED that are available are safe and extremely affordable for a lot of people. These treatment options have scored more than 80% success rate for individuals who have used them to treat Erectile Dysfunction.
Oral Medication
As highlighted earlier, oral medication is very effective in dealing with issues of ED in men. These medications are referred to as phosphodiesterase inhibitors, and the different brands available include Spedra, Sildenafil, Cialis, and Levitra. These drugs have been proven to work in more than 65% of the men suffering from erectile dysfunction.
Spedra is the most preferred drug for ED among patients since it has a quick onset of action when compared to other options that are available. The drug contains an active ingredient referred to as avanafil that helps to treat ED effectively. This is one of the most recent drugs to be released for use in the treatment of erectile dysfunction.
Spendra functions in the same way as Viagra which contains the active component Sildenafil. They all work by increasing the flow of the blood to the penile organ that allows a man to achieve a hard erection. These two drugs are equally effective, and they last almost the same time in the body. However, the main difference is that spedra is absorbed into the bloodstream faster than Viagra and hence works faster.
