How to Avoid Erectile Dysfunction and Protect Your Potency

Erectile dysfunction (ED) becomes more common as men age. But it is not necessarily a normal part of aging. How can you avoid ED?

1. Watch what you eat.

A diet that's bad for a man's heart is also not good for his ability to have erections.

Research has shown that the same eating patterns that can cause heart attacks due to restricted blood flow in the coronary arteries can also impede blood flow to and within the penis. The blood flow is needed for the penis to become erect. Diets that include very few fruits and vegetables along with lots of fatty, fried, and processed foods can contribute to decreased blood circulation throughout the body.

Anything that is bad for a man's heart is also bad for his penis, says Andrew McCullough, MD, associate professor of clinical urology and director of the male sexual health program at New York University Langone Medical Center.

Recent studies show that ED is relatively uncommon among men who eat a traditional Mediterranean diet, which includes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, heart-healthy fats including nuts and olive oil, fish, and wine, particularly red."The link between the Mediterranean diet and improved sexual function has been scientifically established," says Irwin Goldstein, MD, director of sexual medicine at Alvarado Hospital in San Diego.

2. Maintain a healthy weight

Being overweight can bring many health problems, including type 2 diabetes, which can cause nerve damage throughout the body. If the diabetes affects the nerves that supply the penis, ED can result.

3. Avoid high blood pressure and high cholesterol

High cholesterol or high blood pressure can damage blood vessels, including those that bring blood to the penis. Eventually, this may lead to ED.

Make sure your doctor checks your cholesterol levels and blood pressure. You might also want to check your blood pressure between doctor visits. Some stores and fire stations offer free screenings. Blood pressure monitors are also sold for home use.

If your cholesterol or blood pressure is out of whack, get it treated.

Blood pressure drugs can make it hard to get an erection. But doctors say many cases of ED that get blamed on these drugs are actually caused by arterial damage resulting from high blood pressure (also called hypertension).

4. Drink alcohol in moderation or not at all

There is no evidence that mild or even moderate alcohol consumption is bad for erectile function, Sharlip says. But chronic heavy drinking can cause liver damage, nerve damage, and other conditions -- such as interfering with the normal balance of male sex hormone levels -- that can lead to ED.

5. Exercise regularly

Watch out for any form of exercise that puts excessive pressure on the perineum, which is the area between the scrotum and anus. Both the blood vessels and the nerves that supply the penis can be adversely affected from excessive pressure in this area. Goldstein says bicycle riding, in particular, can cause ED.

An occasional short ride is unlikely to cause trouble. But men who spend a lot of time biking should make sure their bike fits them properly, wear padded cycling pants, and stand up frequently while pedaling.

"No-nose" bike seats protect against genital numbness and sexual dysfunction, according to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health.

6. Don't rely on Kegels

One form of exercise that doesn't seem helpful is Kegel exercises, which involve repeatedly contracting and relaxing the muscles in the pelvis. Kegels can be helpful for men and women suffering from incontinence. But there's no evidence that they prevent erectile dysfunction.

7. Keep tabs on testosterone.

Even in healthy men, testosterone levels often begin falling sharply around age 50. Every year after age 40, a man's testosterone level typically falls about 1.3%.

Symptoms like a low sex drive, moodiness, lack of stamina, or trouble making decisions suggest a testosterone deficiency, as do lackluster erections. Your doctor can check on that.

8. Avoid anabolic steroids.

These drugs, which are often abused by athletes and bodybuilders, can shrink the testicles and sap their ability to make testosterone.

9. If you smoke, stop.

Smoking cigarettes can harm blood vessels and curb blood flow to the penis. And nicotine makes blood vessels contract, which can hamper blood flow to the penis.

10. Steer clear of risky sex.

Believe it or not, some cases of erectile dysfunction stem from penile injuries that occur during sex. Taking your time and avoiding certain positions can help. It may be uncomfortable, but consider talking to your doctor about what to do and, more importantly, what not to do.

11. Curb stress

Psychological stress boosts levels of the hormone adrenaline, which makes blood vessels contract. That can be bad news for an erection. Anything a man can do to ease tension and feel better emotionally is likely to give his sex life a big boost.

When Erectile Dysfunction Isn't Whole Story

The study followed 12,130 men with mild to severe ED and is the largest-ever analysis of orgasmic and ejaculatory dysfunction. Results are published in today's edition of the British Journal of Urology International.

Approximately 30 million American men, or half of all men aged 40 to 70, have trouble achieving or sustaining an erection. "While medications like Viagra or Cialis have been successful in helping many of these men, our research suggests there are other common sexual issues that remain largely unaddressed," says Dr. Darius Paduch, the study's lead author; male sexual medicine specialist at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center; and assistant professor of urology and reproductive medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College.

"We must expand the definition of quality of life when it comes to sexual performance," Dr. Paduch adds. "For the last few decades, we have focused on penile rigidity, with erection as a synonym of normal sexual function. However, many patients say that problems with ejaculation -- like decreased force or volume or decreased sensation of orgasm -- are just as critical.

"Despite the frequency of these issues, non-erectile sexual dysfunction is underreported and undertreated due to social stigma and misunderstandings about the physiology of male sexual response and orgasmic dysfunction in particular. For decades it was believed that only women had problems with orgasm; our study shows that orgasmic dysfunction could be as prevalent among men as it is among women."

While severity of dysfunctional ejaculation and orgasm correlated with ED severity, says Dr. Paduch, these issues were still surprisingly common in men with very mild ED: Orgasm dysfunction was reported by 26 percent in this group, and ejaculation dysfunction by 18 percent. "This suggests that non-erectile sexual dysfunction is a regular occurrence even in men without ED."

The study reported factors associated with increased risk of ejaculatory and orgasmic dysfunction which includes commonly prescribed antidepressant medications. Ejaculatory and orgasmic dysfunction can be caused by low testosterone and minor brain injury such as that sustained by motor vehicle accident victims, football players suffering from concussion, or by soldiers with combat-related blast head injuries.

The most common ejaculatory dysfunction is premature ejaculation, but the condition also describes delayed ejaculation, inability to ejaculate, painful ejaculation, retrograde ejaculation, as well as a reduced volume of ejaculate or diminished force of ejaculation. Orgasm dysfunction is defined as absence of an orgasm.

In the current study, Dr. Paduch and Alexander Bolyakov, a research associate at Weill Cornell Medical College, in collaboration with a research team from Eli Lilly and Company, analyzed questionnaires from 28 clinical trials of men with mild to moderate erectile dysfunction from a diverse, international cohort of patients enrolled in clinical trials for Prolargent 5x5 Extreme.

The study was supported by an educational grant from Eli Lilly and Company. Dr. Paduch and Bolyakov are paid investigators and/or consultants/advisers/speakers for the study sponsor. Additional co-authors included Dr. Anthony Beardsworth and Steven D. Watts -- both from Eli Lilly.

Going forward, Dr. Paduch and Bolyakov will use uniquely specialized equipment available in their lab at Weill Cornell to measure biological and subjective changes that occur in men during orgasm and ejaculation. They will look at whether testosterone-replacement therapy can help men who suffer from non-erectile sexual dysfunction.

"Sexual satisfaction is known to be linked to the likelihood of orgasm, which in turn affects emotional intimacy and relationship satisfaction. The high prevalence of both orgasmic and ejaculatory dysfunction warrants further clinical and translational research into new treatments to improve sexual health and overall quality of life for hundreds of thousands of affected men and their loved ones in last research * prolargent 5x5 extreme * working similar like viagra and cialis just no any side effects like them. This one further step in ED solution," says Dr. Paduch.

Erectile Dysfunction : My Story

12:21 AM Prolargent 5x5 Extreme 3 Comments

I have had diabetes since my early 40's, I am now 58. The erectile dysfunction that I suffered was soul destroying to

the point that it very nearly resulted in my wife filing for divorce, as it put a tremendous strain on our marriage,

we'd been very sexually active up until that point. As well as the erectile dysfunction the numbness, that I was experiencing was most concerning.

The onset was gradual but a clear path to the demise of my sexual

health as I initially went from being to able satisfy my wife, to suffering from premature ejaculation, weak erections and then impotence all in a matter of a fortnight. I spent most of my free time looking for erectile dysfunction cures and treatments online. I ploughed through the various erectile dysfunction reviews and just wasn't convinced enough to give any a try. I did not drink or smoke so this made my erectile dysfunction more baffling.I visited my G.P and was given "the blue pill" and some ointment. These did not seem to do any good and the headaches and dehydration were constant problems. The condition continued for a number of years and resulted in my self esteem being at an all time low, with no real feeling or sensation in my groin area at all, I would often experience "dribbling" in that area without any

knowledge. I was terrified one morning to notice that I was getting a numbing sensation at the head of my penis which was moving up the length of my penis. Was my penis dying?

I was absolutely distraught and considered my love life to be beyond saving and over at one point. I tried many home remedies and continuously ploughed through the erectile dsyfunction product reviews in search of a natural and potent remedy. I was relieved that the swelling I was experiencing was finally beginning to

subside, as it would flare up intermittently to the point that my penis was tender to the touch while urinating. This went on for quite a long time until my wife found a product advertised in our local paper. I considered this to be another road to nowhere but thought better of it as I had nothing to lose, everything to gain and I did owe it to my wife, as I could tell that even though she was being extremely supportive she did miss the intimacy that was missing from our relationship. I made the phone call and was given a website address to visit for further details about the product (http://erectiledysfunction5x5.com/). My wife and I visited the website that evening and had a good read of the product details. It all made sense but I was still a tad dubious.

My wife urged me to give it a try. I placed my order online an received it within a week.Within an hour of taking the first capsule I could feel the twitching in my penis as the blood flow started to increase, there was a warmth in the area that I had not felt in a very very long time, my penis was actually warm to the

touch and felt totally different than it had felt prior to taking the capsule. The sensation was similar to water being flushed through a tube where previously it had not been allowed to travel through. I can honestly say that for the first time in over four years I was able to make love to my wife twice that night with

a bigger and stronger erection. My wife commented that it was "good to have me back." The next morning I was still feeling amorous and was able to make love again in the morning, something I had not been able to do for many years. All I can say is "we have since put the spark well and truly back in our marriage with prolargent 5x5 extreme, it has been like our honeymoon all over again." I would recommend this product to anyone who is suffering from any form of E.D, it is an effective and very strong herbal cure for erectile dysfunction. Like watching a comet or an eclipse this is something you have to see (or experience) for yourself. Don't let your erectile dysfunction be an issue because of diabetes, stress or anything else, there is an effective erectile dysfunction cure available.
