What’s Organic Erectile Dysfunction?

Viagra Question

What’s organic erectile dysfunction? Is it the same as physiological ED and does it respond to treatment with Viagra?


Answer

Organic ED is exactly the same as physiological ED and refers to an inability to get and keep an erection strong enough for penetration because you’re not pumping enough blood to your penis to facilitate erection. This is the single biggest cause of ED and fortunately can sometimes be reversed if you adopt a healthier lifestyle.

However, if the problem is already too advanced to be turned around, you can get the extra help you need from Viagra, which temporarily optimizes blood flow to the penis.

However, even though you’re taking Viagra to improve blood flow to the penis, you should continue taking every step you can to live a healthier lifestyle. Such proactive measures could in time reduce your need for outside erectile help and most certainly will improve your overall cardiovascular health, reducing your risk of heart attack and stroke.

Creatine Monohydrate Powder Loss of Sex Drive ED

ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION QUESTION:

I started using creatine monohydrate powder about a week ago. The instructions read that l must take a measurement of 5ml 5 times a day for One week and after that take 2 times a day until it’s finished.

Since I started using it my sex drive has gone completely to zero. Sometimes l don’t even feel my 4-5.

May it because of creatine or intensive working out.

DOCTOR ALSAYES ANSWER:

Yes, it’s most probably due to the creatine powder.

Actually, some recent studies found that daily long-term usage of creatine can lead to a lesser sex drive and a decreased production of testosterone hormone, which eventually means erectile dysfunction.

I’d suggest you use creatine sparingly or at the very least lower your dosages.

I hope this answers your question.

Is Erectile Dysfunction an Early Warning of More Serious Cardiovascular Health Issues?

Viagra Question

Is it true that erectile dysfunction can be an early warning of more serious cardiovascular health issues? What can I do to avoid such problems, and can I take Viagra in the meantime to help me function sexually?


Answer

Although erectile dysfunction is certainly no laughing matter, it is far less serious a health problem than a heart attack or stroke. And because the arteries that supply the penis are considerably smaller than those that supply oxygen-rich blood to the heart and brain, ED of vascular origin is viewed as an early warning of more serious health problems elsewhere in your body.

If you take the hint and modify your lifestyle to improve your overall cardiovascular health, you may well be able to reverse the early symptoms of ED. And in doing so, you will also make it less likely that you will experience other cardiovascular health crises in the future.

Eating a heart-healthy diet and maintaining a regular regimen of physical activity can go a long way toward maintaining overall cardiovascular health. Other steps that you can take include quitting smoking, moderating alcohol consumption, and shedding excess pounds. If erectile difficulties persist even though you’ve modified your lifestyle, Viagra could give you the erection boost you need.

Can an Varicocele Cause Erectile Dysfunction

ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION QUESTION:

I am 20 years old and have never ejaculated nor have I ever had a wet dream. Twice I woke up with pain while having an erotic dream. I’ve never finished masturbating because either I lose focus or feel start to feel pain. I’ve been to a couple urologists, but none seem to help.

I’m sure there might be a psychological factor like all the urologists suggested, but I’m almost sure there is a biological factor as well. I get frequent Balanitis, and pain when I urinate. I also have an autoimmune disease that involves streptococcus infections.

My testosterone is 552, SHBG 15 (range is 10-50). I had an abdominal CT scan (showed small phlebolith), and abdominal ultrasound, testicular ultrasound (showed varicocele). I was wondering if anyone knew what could cause this other than it being psychological.

DOCTOR ALSAYES ANSWER:

I’m, sorry? You said a couple of urologists said it ’s psychological? How is that possible when you say U/S showed a Varicocele?
Most probably that could be the causes of your problem.

It must be evaluated because moderate to severe Varicocele can lead to such complaint.

Also, a frequent Balanitis is not a something that should be missed or underestimated by a urologist. There should be tests and evaluation to identify the cause and prescribe the proper treatment.

You need to see an experienced urologist for evaluation.

Doctor Consultation Says My Erectile Dysfunction is Not Physiological, Will Viagra Help?

Viagra Question

I’m a happily married man who’s always enjoyed sex with my wife, but lately, I’ve found it difficult to get an erection when romance is in the air. I’ve consulted my doctor about the problem, and he says that my impotence doesn’t appear to be physiological in nature. How can he determine this and would Viagra help me?


Answer

The information you’ve supplied doesn’t really give us enough to go on. However, a doctor can order labs and prescribe self-testing to help determine whether erection problems are physiological in origin. He might also be able to make a tentative diagnosis of the cause of your erectile dysfunction on the basis of information you have confided to him. For example, a normal healthy male has three to five erections each night as he sleeps, the last of which may occur as he awakens in the morning.

If you continue to experience these nighttime erections, your ED symptoms are probably not physiological in nature but can be traced to psychological causes. We suggest that you ask your doctor how he reached his conclusion on the cause of your erection problems. If he has determined that depression, anxiety, or stress is the root cause of your problem, he might refer you to psychological counselling in an effort to deal with those problems.

Cannabis and Erectile Dysfunction. Smoking Weed has Caused Loss of Libido and a Complete Disinterest in Every Aspect of Sex.

CANNABIS – ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION QUESTION:

Cannabis and ED/loss of libido. I am 40 and have been smoking weed for the last 2 years about one joint per day. The first year, it gave me a very exciting sex life but since a year I am suffering from ED and more of all developed a complete disinterest in every aspect of sex.

I’ve learned that cannabis can trigger ED through premature endothelial dysfunction (Int J Impot Res. 2008 Nov-Dec;20(6):566-73. doi: 10.1038/ijir.2008.43.”Early endothelial dysfunction as a marker of vasculogenic erectile dysfunction in young habitual cannabis users”.) and maybe lowering testosterone.

But it also messes up with your brain reward center with downregulation of post-synaptic dopamine receptors. I have quit smoking weed for 2 months now and I am still not interested in sexual matters. Do you know how long it can take before the brain get reset?


DOCTOR ALSAYES ANSWER:

First of all, congratulations, you are on the right way to recovery.
Let me tell you it may take more couple months for you to start feeling the difference, and with time the negative effect of these habits will disappear and your normal erections will appear again (if you have no other causes of ED).

In the meanwhile, I advise you to establish a healthy lifestyle by exercising regularly, eating healthy food (low cholesterol), and stop or avoid alcohol and tobacco as they both contribute to ED. These steps will help you regain your normal erection faster.

I hope this answers your question.

Do I Have Porn Induced ED? Is it Even a True Thing?

ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION QUESTION:

Do I have “porn-induced ED”? Is it even a true thing?
I am a 20-year-old virgin and the first few times (3 or so) I’ve tried to penetrate my girlfriend I cannot due to my glans being soft and losing my erection very quickly (a few seconds without physical stimulation). Is it possible I have porn-induced erectile dysfunction?

I thought I may not since I never looked at porn every day, maybe 4-5 times a week when I was experimenting with jelqing. I’ve since stopped both porn and masturbation(and jelqing) for about 2 weeks now and I never got morning erections(maybe semi erections but never full ones) and have generally very poor mood. I haven’t tried anything sexual with my girlfriend in a while partly because of anxiety about my issue and partly because we hardly get to spend private alone time together.

Based on my porn use and age, and the effect of cutting off the porn, is it possible I have another issue with my penis? If it is, in fact, porn use should I cut it off completely or just cut down on the amount/type of porn I view? Cutting porn out completely seems to kill my mood and fill me with guilt so it is very difficult for me to move forward as things stand right now.


DOCTOR ALSAYES ANSWER:

Let me first point out to you that erectile dysfunction has many factors and underlying causes, one of these aspects are the psychological aspect.
A psychological aspect can in form of anxiety or pressure to perform under heightened anxiety, or acute stress disorder, or Low sex drive due to underlying cause (as a bad memory from a previous relationship).

Watching pornography and masturbation more frequently can also lead to erectile dysfunction during actual sex relation. Some studies have found that frequently masturbating to porn can contribute to ED by desensitizing you to certain imagery and physical intimacy.

We must first identify the cause and then treat it accordingly, in your case, I advise you first to visit your doctor and make some evaluation tests to exclude any medical/physical cause, and if all tests came up negative then your doctor will advise you on how to deal with your stress and performance anxiety or he may refer you to a psychotherapist. In the meanwhile, I strongly advise you to stop watching and/or masturbating to porn, and with time the negative effect of these habits will disappear and your normal erections will appear again (if you have no other causes of ED).

I hope this answers your question.
