Erectile dysfunction is a taboo topic among Aussie men but there is a simple – and discreet – solution at hand.
One in two Aussie men experience erectile dysfunction (ED) at some point in their lives. It’s a taboo topic for most but they should take heed in knowing it’s a common problem.
The great news is with proper treatment, 78 percent of men will achieve lasting erections.
ED is the inability to get or keep an erection firm enough to have sexual intercourse. It occurs when blood flow to the penis is limited, and blood flow out happens too fast, thanks to an enzyme called PDE5.
Some men find they can stay hard long enough to get things going but will lose their erection before ejaculation. Others may not be able to “get it up” at all.
ED is often a symptom of an underlying physical condition or unhealthy lifestyle habits. Most commonly, ED stems from high cholesterol, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease or heart disease. That’s because these conditions impact blood flow. However, hormonal changes, drinking alcohol, smoking and psychological conditions like anxiety and depression can also contribute to ED. Even diabetes can affect your game in the bedroom.
Medication is the first line of therapy for tackling ED, and meds like those offered by Pilot doctors have helped improve the sex lives of 94 percent of patients. The most commonly prescribed medications for ED are called PDE5 inhibitors. They work by targeting the enzyme responsible for the contraction of blood vessels in the penis. This improves blood flow, and helps men maintain firm erections throughout sex.
