Vardenafil
belongs to the class of drugs known as phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors. It
is used in the treatment of erectile dysfunction (sexual impotence). It helps
to obtain and maintain an erection sufficient to take part in a sexual activity. Its action increases the
blood flow inside the penis when a sexually excited man takes the medicine. It only acts as a result of sexual stimulation;
it does not increase sexual desire.
Erectile dysfunction, which can
also be called male impotence, is characterized by difficulty (or inability) to
have an erection. The causes can be psychological (anxiety of the performance,
conflicts within the couple). But in the vast majority of cases, it is caused
or aggravated by a physical disorder (medical condition, taking medication). In
general, and even though it can affect men of all ages, the risk of developing
erectile dysfunction increases with age.
The main forms of erectile dysfunction
In general, we talk about
erectile dysfunction when you have difficulty (or disability) repeated to have
an erection. Or, to make it last during the whole of your sexual intercourse.
Be careful not to confuse it with an occasional failure. Before consulting a
doctor, who may prescribe a treatment against your impotence, it is also
recommended to wait three months. Or, you can opt for oral medicines like Vardenafil.
Also be careful not to confuse
erectile dysfunction (such as a soft erection or dislocating during the act)
with ejaculation disorders such as:
Premature ejaculation: this sexual disorder consists in ejaculating
very quickly after the beginning of your sexual intercourse. Sometimes even
before having penetrated his partner. We talk about premature ejaculation when
this problem is constant. It would affect about one in three men.
Delayed ejaculation: conversely, a man suffering from this disorder
will have difficulty ejaculating. And his reports will be abnormally long. This
restraint can be psychic (difficulty to let go) or be of organic origin
(diabetes or taking antidepressants, for example).
What are the main physical causes of erectile dysfunction?
Several medical conditions or
treatments may explain that you have erectile dysfunction. Here are the main
ones.
A vascular problem
Poor blood circulation can
explain why you have difficulty banding. Because, your penis will not be
properly irrigated.
If you have heart disease,
coronary artery disease, arthritis or high blood pressure, you have about 40%
chance of having erectile dysfunction. Ditto if you have too high a level of
bad cholesterol, since it will clog your arteries and slow down the flow of
your blood. Erectile dysfunction is also considered to be an aggravating factor
of future vascular disease. Consult a specialist quickly if you fear to suffer
from erection problems.
Diabetes
Diabetes is also an aggravating
factor in erectile dysfunction. Indeed between 40 and 70% of diabetics have
difficulty in having an erection. And in type 1 patients, these problems would
manifest even earlier. The risks are even more important if your diabetes is
not balanced, or if you are old.
Neurological causes
Some neurological diseases can also explain your erectile dysfunction.
This is particularly the case of:
·
Parkinson's disease;
·
Alzheimer's
·
epilepsy;
·
stroke;
·
multiple sclerosis.
Prostate surgery
Prostate cancer, which is also
the most common in men can also be related to your erection problems. Indeed,
the surgical procedure that can be performed to remove the cancer cells can
affect the erector nerves, and thus cause erectile dysfunction.
Surgery and radiotherapy
Another surgical procedure may
also be involved. This is the case for example of surgery of the bladder or
rectum.
Ditto for radiotherapy, a
radiation treatment in your abdomen-pelvis that can cause erectile dysfunction
in nearly 75% of cases.
Taking a medical treatment
Some treatments may have side
effects an erection problem. Especially, those against high blood pressure,
cholesterol and heart problems. But also drugs to treat a mental disorder such
as Vardenafil.
It will be necessary in this case to discuss it with your doctor before stopping your treatment. He may suggest alternatives, but you may need to balance your health and sex life.
