Erectile disfunction refers to inadequate erections. Most of the men affected will complain they are unable to reach full erection or to maintain it long enough to provide satisfactory performance. To attain effective erectile functioning, it is important for the penis to receive a full dose of blood every single day. If you do not get erections during the night while you are sleeping, eventually the penile tissues will scar and shrink. Then, you will suffer erectile disfunction.

A flaccid member has only eight cubic centimeters of blood; to become erect, the penis should get sixty-two cubic centimeters, or eight times the normal volume. If anything interferes with that blood flow, nothing will happen.

There are several types of erectile dysfunction medication. The most widely known are that class of drugs known as phosphodiesterase enzyme inhibitors. You have probably heard of the three most talked-about brands that use these inhibitors. They do not make an erection happen directly, but they enhance the effect of nitric oxide, a chemical that allows the penis to become engorged with blood. You should not take these drugs within a day of having taken nitrates, like nitroglycerin tablets.

Some alkaloids, particularly yohimbine, appear beneficial for nonphysical causes of erectile disfunction, like anxiety and stress. Another effective erectile dysfunction medication is prostaglandin E analogs. These medications also promote relaxation of the penile smooth muscles, thus increasing blood flow to the area. For some patients, the physician may raise low testosterone levels.

In addition to these erectile dysfunction medications dispensed through prescription, there are non-drug options that also provide erectile dysfunction help. There are vacuum devices that create a vacuum to draw more blood into the genital area, penile implants that are surgically planted in the scrotum, and vascular surgery on the blood vessels. Despite their good feedback, erectile dysfunction medications are still the preferred treatment.
