Guide to erectile dysfunction
Abstract
Erectile dysfunction can occur once, but it can also occur more frequently. However, a doctor should be consulted if symptoms persist or certain other factors, such as side effects of medication, psychological stress, etc., are present.
There are a variety of different treatment options, for example with medication or (psychological) counseling sessions.
When do we start talking about erectile dysfunction?
Erectile dysfunction (ED) means that in more than two thirds of cases, a man is unable to achieve or maintain an erection that is sufficient for sexual intercourse or masturbation. If these problems persist for at least six months, they are referred to as erectile dysfunction. So if it “doesn’t work” from time to time, it is not yet a disorder requiring treatment.
Symptoms
The following symptoms may indicate erectile dysfunction:
The absence of erections during the sleep phase or in the morning indicates physical causes. In a healthy man, however, erections occur during certain phases of sleep.
The penis does not get hard at all or not hard enough to be able to have sexual intercourse.
Even during masturbation, the erection stops completely or partially.
Contrary to popular belief, erectile dysfunction can also occur at a young age.
Causes
Erectile dysfunction (commonly known as “impotence”) often develops gradually and occurs both during intercourse with a partner and during masturbation.
Possible causes are above all
Vascular changes
Consequences of another disease that interfere with blood circulation:
Smoking, increased alcohol consumption, obesity and insufficient exercise put a strain on the blood vessels and therefore on potency.
Hormonal disorders, such as testosterone deficiency, often also with increasing age, can be the background.
Psychological stress or pressure that is either triggered by everyday situations or life situations or is based on anxiety or burdensome expectations towards the partner.
Are erectile dysfunctions dependent on age?
The likelihood of erectile dysfunction increases significantly with age. The table provides an overview of erectile performance by age group.
Around 20: maximum sexual performance
Around the age of 40: Erectile strength decreases more and more
Between 50 and 60: men often suffer from mild to moderate erectile dysfunction
With increasing age, the proportion of men affected rises to up to 57%
What treatment options are available?
Erectile dysfunction is not a life-threatening disease. Nevertheless, it is a burden on well-being, quality of life and a partnership. Research into the causes is the primary focus in order to find an appropriate form of therapy and, above all, to rule out or treat other diseases.
Side effects of medication
New medical prescription of a medication if possible
Bringing testosterone levels into balance
Phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors (PDE-5 inhibitors): Sildenafil, tadalafil, vardenafil and avanafil
Corpus cavernosum autoinjection therapy
(SKAT)
Independent, non-painful injection of a drug into the penis
The blood supply to the penis increases and results in an erection
Medicated Urethral System for Erection (MUSE)
A blood flow-promoting medication in the form of a small suppository is administered via the urethra using an applicator
The penis gets hard
Vacuum therapy
A plastic cylinder with a suction pump creates a vacuum
Blood supply increases and the limb becomes hard
A rubber ring at the lower end of the shaft prevents blood from flowing backwards
Artificial implants in the erectile tissue
Silicone implants are inserted in the form of a small reservoir in the lower abdomen and a pump in the scrotum
At the push of a button, the man can fill the implant and a kind of erection is created
Counseling and/or psychotherapy
An open, understanding conversation with your partner can help with feelings of pressure or anxiety
A counselor or psychotherapist can also be consulted in the event of severe psychological stress
PDE-5 inhibitors
Phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors (PDE-5 inhibitors) inhibit an endogenous enzyme that breaks down a specific neurotransmitter. The messenger substance is produced in greater quantities during sexual arousal and promotes blood flow in the penis. If the enzyme is now blocked by the medication, more messenger substances remain. This increases blood flow to the penis. The penis hardens and the erection lasts longer. PDE-5 inhibitors only work during sexual arousal. They do not stimulate desire per se. Further erections are possible within the duration of action, even if the first erection ends with ejaculation. The duration of effect varies depending on the medication and dosage.
Visual disturbances; blurred image or color vision disturbances
Flush (reddened face or reddened neck region)
Prevention and home remedies
If you can’t get an erection from time to time, that’s no reason to panic. Short-term private or professional worries and problems may be responsible. This can help now:
Talk to your partner about your situation. A clarifying, understanding conversation can go a long way and resolve some of the stressful thoughts that are often the cause.
Don’t put yourself under pressure. You don’t have to prove anything to anyone.
Create a pleasant atmosphere and relax.
Ask your partner to do something that excites you and talk openly about your desires and needs.
In addition, some home remedies are said to have aphrodisiac and circulation-promoting effects, although their medical effectiveness is not always proven. These include above all
Garlic
Promotes blood circulation
stimulates the production of testosterone
Ginseng
stimulates blood circulation
Stress relieving
Yohimbine
stimulates blood circulation
lowers blood pressure
Longer intake required, approx. over 2-3 weeks
aphrodisiac effect
usually in the form of tea from the pharmacy
found in the leaves and bark of the yohimbe tree
Oysters
contain zinc, which is considered an accelerator for sperm production in the testicles
Movement
Promotes blood circulation
strengthens the immune system
Alcohol has a stimulating effect up to 0.5 per mille, beyond that the opposite is the case
Reduce alcohol and cigarette consumption
Healthy, balanced diet
When should a doctor be consulted?
Erectile dysfunction is not uncommon and is not a dangerous disease. However, you should make sure that there are no other illnesses present. If you notice that the problems persist over a longer period of time, consult a doctor (e.g. a urologist). If one or more of the points listed above apply to you, it is also advisable to consult a doctor. He or she will suggest an individual treatment for you. In most cases, treatment with PDE-5 inhibitors is prescribed, which are available on prescription only.
How TeleClinic can help
The number of people with a penis in Germany who suffer from erectile dysfunction (ED) is estimated at around 3-5 million. The important differentiation of the causes between an isolated disease (e.g. of the penis), or as a result of another disease (e.g. diabetes, high blood pressure) or a temporary psychological cause can be easily made telemedically with good cooperation with you as the patient. If specific examinations and therapies outside of telemedicine are necessary, the doctor can also point these out to you and initiate them. However, as it also depends very much on your individual level of suffering (or that of your partner), experienced doctors can help you well. The therapy can be carried out with medication as well as through a detailed medical history, education and behavioral therapy. Our experts are very familiar with the topic and are also aware of the high number of unreported cases of the disease, as sexual dysfunction in men is unfortunately still associated with shame. Put your trust in telemedicine, where you can get help easily and discreetly.
This TeleClinic guide has been written by our medical editors in accordance with the highest scientific standards. The articles are intended to provide you with initial information on various topics and cannot replace a medical diagnosis. Experienced doctors will be happy to provide you with further advice in an online consultation.
