Erectil Disfuction

tankdude · December 10th, 2007, 09:37 PM

Hey everyone!
Is there anyone on this forum who has dealt with or is suffering from Erectile Disfunction?
I have done some research and based on the symptoms that I have all roads are leading to this.
I'm so close to making an appointment with the Doc but wanted to see if anyone else on this forum knew anything about it or has some personal experiece since so much good info and tips flys around here.

Thanks!
-Col
Edit:
This has actually lead to my confidence in talking to women or lack there of.

This is what I know. ED is caused either by physiological problems or psychological problems.

If you still have nocturnal erections (i.e. wake up with a stiffy) or are able to gain and maintain an erection through masturbation, then your problem is probably psychological and you could be suffering from performance anxiety.

If you have difficulty with an erection no matter what the situation then it might be time to have a doctor figure out what is wrong.

Here's a topic that l can relate to, unfortunately, because l have this problem too. you really should talk to a doctor about this. l can assure you that hewill not laugh at you. He [i]should[i] run some test to see if it's physical, such as diabetes high blood pressure or several other problems that can cause E.D.
lf it is, there are several medicines that can help. On,the other hand, if it only happens when you are with a woman, then it probably is psycological and there are psycolgists that can help with that. l was a combination of the two. The physical problem caused me to loose my self confidence which only made it worse. Thanks to a good woman (who is now my wife

) l got my prescription and my self confidence back. l still need my cialis, but it works much better when you have confidence in yourself. Don't give up hope and don't be afaid to seek help. And for God's sake don't try the "herbal" remedies. Those thing don't work and have some scary side effects that aren't mentioned on the bottles.

Godd luck and hope it works out for you.

Kegels.

Try to stop a flow of urine. Feel that muscle, its called the BC muscle. Now start with 50 of those contractions, 5 second contractions each. Do this every other day going up five every now and than. Make sure contractions are STRONG.

There are other secrets, but they are just that, secrets, so sorry that is all I can help with.

When I am more sedentary, I tend to develop a little bit of ED. A strong cardiovascular workout does more to eliminate this problem than anything else (in my opinion). Also improving the diet. I do high fiber which eliminates much cholestoral, helps with blood pressure. To sum it up, eating high fiber, low cholestoral diet, developing and maintaining your cardiovascular, and lowering your stress is possibly the best way of dealing with ED.

Consult a urologist about it, if it a true concern. There's no shame in that. It can happen for a variety of reason, some stated above, and can be treated fairly successfully. I know more about true ED, given that I have a spinal cord injury, but I also know friends that have had impairments as well. Go see the doc!
