Erectile Dysfunction Causes & Treatments

Let’s call it the elephant in the bedroom. Something isn’t working right and you need to fix it. When you suffer from ED, you’re asking yourself one question: “Is erectile dysfunction permanent?
” Making lifestyle changes can help improve your ED, but there are some factors you’ll have to talk to your doctor about. Learn the causes of erectile dysfunction (also known as impotence) and how you can stop it. For some people, sex isn’t as enjoyable as it could be.
Depression, stress, and fatigue can cause erectile dysfunction by disrupting feelings of sexual excitement in the brain. While sex can be a stress reliever, ED can make sex stressful. Relationship problems are also a contributing factor to erectile dysfunction.
Arguments, stress, and bad communication can make the bedroom an uncomfortable place. This is where open, honest communication comes in. If you were looking for a reason to finally quit smoking or cut down on your drinking, you just found one.
And that’s because tobacco use, heavy alcohol consumption, and other substance abuse—including too much caffeine from coffee and energy drinks—all all of these constrict blood vessels, and then because an erection works by hydraulic effect from blood traveling to the penis, constricted blood vessels from these bad habits may prevent a full erection. Obesity is also a common cause for impotence. Diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease are also tied to obesity—and erectile dysfunction. They all pose significant health risks and affect sexual performance.
Cardiovascular exercise—swimming, running, biking, etc.—helps shed pounds and increases oxygen and blood flow throughout the body (including your penis). Added bonus: a slimmer, tighter physique will probably get your partner’s attention, too. Surgeries or injuries in the pelvic or lower spinal region can also cause erectile dysfunction. Depending on the physical cause of your ED, some medical treatments—which are explained next—may be needed. Besides quitting bad habits and starting good ones, there are several ways to treat erectile dysfunction. The most common treatment is oral medication.

SPECIAL EDITION: PRAY OVER YOUR MARRIAGE and another love story

Dear readers,  Words are powerful. I have learnt to let most of the things I say be positive and contain a prayer. Praying God's word over your marriage is important.  Marriage is a blessing from God, but it is not always cherished the way it should be; Maybe because life gets busy, or we get distracted; Maybe because we start to take one another for granted; Or we disagree and let resentments hang on longer than they should. Hm! I was taught recently that the baggages we bring along from our past, into our marriages are a great burden as well. We take these baggages for granted but believe you me, most old baggages, are the cause of most broken marriages.  Some baggages are in the form of old girlfriends and boyfriends who are witches and wizards, or left some kind of spiritual bonding with your spouse. Some are in the form of just clingy exes. Some baggages may even just be low self esteem or extreme high expectations. When joined as ''one'', a new battle to...

THE NAKED MARRIAGE

Welcome dear Readers, You must be thinking that I want to talk about sex today. But hey, we will be talking about that plus a lot more. True intimacy requires what happens in the bedroom plus a lot more. In the beginning, God created Adam and Eve, the first couple. They lived in an ideal world; no debt, no no crazy in laws, no baggage, no stress, no fighting and and also, NO CLOTHING! (Gen 2:25) When God reveals unto us a naked marriage, He is revealing to us something more than just walking around the house with no clothes on or just sex. He is revealing the importance of TRANSPARENCY, VULNERABILITY,ACCEPTANCE and INTIMACY at every level of the relationship. I am suggesting we become more intentional about working on our relationships this way. Love is honest. Love is trust. You open yourself to temptations when you decide not to live in a naked marriage. These temptations have led many down the path of doom. My husband used to believe trust in a marriage is a sacrifice.
