There is no such man who would not like to keep his masculine power. Effective treatment of erectile dysfunction is available with the modern development of the level of medical science.
Sexual problems do not always depend on age, the weakening of potency overtakes both young and older men. Many representatives of the stronger sex have to deal with disappointments in the intimate sphere associated with a deterioration in erection.
Symptoms of the disorder
The more familiar term is impotence. This is the most common of the group of sexual male diseases. It is manifested by the fact that the penis is not able to achieve or maintain an erection to perform a full-fledged intimate act.
In other words, a man wants to, but cannot. Libido is preserved, there is a desire for intimacy, but the penis is treacherously flaccid, or, having acquired some hardness for seconds, is rapidly weakening.
What Causes Sexual Problems
The following reasons can lead to a decrease in erectile function:
- diseases of the cardiovascular system;
- neurological pathology;
- endocrine diseases (diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism);
- diseases of the male genital area: prostatitis, Peyronie’s disease , prostate adenoma, prostate cancer;
- condition after prostatectomy ;
- injuries of the lumbosacral spine or genital organs;
- anomalies in the development of the genitals ( hypo / epispadias );
- congenital or hereditary diseases ( hypogonadism );
- taking certain medications (diuretics, beta – blockers);
- alcohol, smoking, drugs reduces erectile capabilities to zero;
- obesity;

Medical designations of causes
The scientific classification of erectile dysfunction includes:
- psychogenic;
- organic;
- mixed.
| Psychogenic | organic |
| Occurs suddenly | Develops gradually |
| Observed periodically | progresses |
| situational | Constant |
| Have a morning erection | no morning erection |
Often, causes that do not require treatment lead to psychogenic erectile disorders:
- occasional sexual mishaps,
- fear of not being up to par
- fear of women
- stressful situation during intercourse (sudden return of the husband),
- unethical behavior of a partner (inappropriate jokes about the size of a male penis).
The most common cause of organic erectile dysfunction is vascular. This form is typical for hypertensive patients, diabetics, with atherosclerosis. Increased pressure, atherosclerotic plaques, angiospasm lead to narrowing of the arteries, including the penis. The right amount of blood does not flow to his cavernous bodies – there is no or insufficient erection.
With a mixed form of dysfunction, there are causes from both groups.
What drugs can a doctor prescribe

- A urologist, andrologist or sexologist treats.
- More often used pills that increase erection, there are drugs for injection, sprays.

- sildenafil ;
- tadalafil ;
- undenafil ;
- vardenafil .
These are the names of the main active ingredient. The pharmacy sells analogues (generics) under other trade names.
They help to get rid of a weak erection, provided that the libido is maintained and adequate sexual stimulation is provided.
The first place in the ranking is occupied by the representative of the sildenafil group – Viagra. Created as a cure for low blood pressure. Now this property of Viagra refers to side effects along with:
- headache;
- visual impairment;
- nausea, vomiting;
- redness of the face;
- dyspepsia.
