Previously taboo men’s medical issues such as erectile dysfunction and prostate cancer are now regularly in the headlines. Men are beginning to pay attention to the physical problems that can cause loss of life or loss of sexual function.
Though some estimates say there may be 30 million men in the U.S. who have erectile concerns, maybe only half of them seek treatment. Not all partners of these men either want or encourage them to seek treatment. Some partners are simply glad not to be “bothered” anymore. And, still in this day and age, many doctors are as hesitant as their patients to bring up the question about erectile function.
Seeking treatment, whether or not for sexual interests, is important, as erectile issues may be a signal of serious disease, including clogged arteries or high blood pressure. If you are having any difficulty in achieving or maintaining an erection, I encourage you to see your physician. In addition to achieving an erection, it may save your life.
There are now three drugs on the market to help with erectile difficulties. I’m not a medical doctor, but I have a variety of resources for medical information. I was interested in finding out how I may best explain to my clients the differences between and among the three drugs currently on the market to help men with erection difficulties.
My physician consultant said this, “For the most part it is often physician preference, though one drug may simply work better for an individual than one of the others.”
These drugs have been demonstrated to be effective for both physical and psychological causes of erectile problems. Sometimes, lengthier untreated, concerns are more resistant to treatment. Over time, both of you have accommodated to the lack of erection. Unfortunately, many couples, especially where communication about sex is lacking, drift toward the complete termination of sexual relations.
So, now you can experience an enhanced erection, but it will not increase either your sexual desire (libido) or the receptivity of your partner.
