Erectile Dysfunction - Run It Off?
Studies show that over 15-30 million men suffer from Erectile Dysfunction (ED). Less than 10 percent of men ever seek treatment. The emotional aspect of partial or complete impotence makes it difficult for men to want to seek treatment. Fortunately, in the age of internet browsing, men gather information privately and are able to educate themselves regarding this common problem.

Most forms of ED are caused by poor health. Unfortunately, we live in an age where doctors treat symptoms rather than address problems. They typically do not take a holistic approach to men's health issues such as ED. The prescribed remedy for most men is to pop a pill. Some men cannot afford prescription ED medication and often times, men find the prescribed ED medication causes uncomfortable side-effects such as hot flashes and profuse sweating. Prescription drugs should be considered one of the last resorts for treating ED.
?Perhaps men should start thinking of the penis as a gauge that marks how high on the health chart they are.? one nutritionist jokingly suggests. ?Many forms of ED could be cured with exercise and a proper diet. - While disease such as diabetes are factors that contribute to ED, many men can relieve the problem by simply losing weight and exercising properly. In the "Annals of Internal Medicine" August 5, 2003, Health Professionals published the findings that state, ?Men who exercise 3-5 hours a week have 30% less risk of having erectile dysfunction (impotence).?
While being physically fit is the best first choice for men, other alternative remedies to prescription drugs include, penile pumps and herbal supplements. Although penile pumps may be effective if used properly, they can be awkward in those moments before loving making. Also, no one should expect the extra 'inches? promised by these devices. Read reviews and do your research before buying such contraptions.
As for supplements, many believe that since little scientific research has been done, that these remedies can't be trusted. On the contrary the herbs used in some male enhancement pills have been used for 1000's of years to treat impotence. Some of these supplements do work. This is supported by substantive antecdotal data rather scientific research, but one cannot ignore the fact that newer supplements such as SizeMatters? have already gained a loyal following. Encyte?, and Stamina-Rx? (Stamina-Rx is not currently on the market) are older products, but high repeat sales and the longevity of these products on the market indicate that these products have worked for men.
Before buying a supplement, read the reviews. Attempt to confirm testimonies are actually written by legitimate users rather then the company selling the product. Ideally, contact other people that have tried the product. Research the ingredients in supplements before buying. Ideally a supplement should include most if not all of the following: Yohimbe, L-Arginine, Epimedium and Xanthoparmelia Scabrosa. These herbs, it is believed, are the most effective herbs for improving the male libido.
The FDA has not approved the use of any herbal supplements for ED. It's always a good idea to talk to your health care provider before taking any supplement or prescription drug. This is especially true if you already suffer from high blood pressure or other known health issues.
Ultimately, eating well and being physically fit will be your best friends in the bedroom. While other problems may be the cause of ED, these are essential steps to a quality life and will improve the quality of sex - ED or not. Lose those extra pounds. Get your butt into the gym. Be active in finding the easiest remedy for any erectile problems you may have. If needed, augment a healthy body with natural herbal supplements and see if this doesn't supercharge your sex life.
