When men begin to develop heart disease and high cholesterol, fat builds up around the arteries, and the artery becomes hardened by calcification, preventing sufficient blood flow to tissues. As a result, these processes are resulting in: Difficulty getting an erection for men over 40 Difficulty having pleasurable orgasms Decreased sensitivity Increased refractory period Softer, more flaccid erection

It is important for clinicians prescribing these drugs to make the patient aware of the action of the drugs especially the fact that they do not result in an immediate erection, and that they do not cause an erection without sexual stimulation. There is frequently a great expectation when men begin using these drugs and it is wise to temper their enthusiasm and explain they do not work immediately, and may not work every time, but also let the patient know that if these drugs do not work, there are other options.
Testosterone levels gradually start to fall around age 30 and continue to drop as you get older. If it gets too low, it can affect your sex drive and your ability to get an erection. A simple blood test can tell you if you have low testosterone, and there are plenty of ways to treat it.
The goal of treatment of this defect is to reconstruct a straight penis with a meatus close to the normal anatomic location. Repair is being performed at progressively younger ages to avoid emotional distress in the young child. Currently, the recommended age for repair is between 3 and 12 months (for hypospadias epispadias or urethroplasty) and during the first year (for chordee repair or orthoplasty). Three objectives of surgical correction of this defect are to ensure the child's ability to void in the standing position with a straight stream (will minimize child and parent anxiety) to improve the child's physical appearance and ensure a positive body image and to preserve sexual function.

Other research also supports eating more plants. In one study, about one-third of men who cut back on their consumption of cholesterol and saturated fat (both of which are found mainly in animal products) and increased their intake of fiber (found in plants) recovered their normal sexual function.

If you think you have ED, a good first step is to talk with your doctor. The treatment you need will depend on what’s causing it.
Men in generally good health who use terms such as “performance anxiety” usually suffer from stress-induced or substance-induced ED, which is caused by anxiety, distraction or too much drinking of alcoholic beverages. These patients often respond to such drugs as Cialis, Levitra and Viagra, all of which enhance the effects of nitric oxide, a natural chemical in the body that relaxes the penis muscles and increases blood flow.
Three patients had a severe fall in blood pressure 1 hour after sildenafil (one at visit 2 and two at visit 5), the standing blood pressure falling from 128/85 to 65/55, 104/60 to 56/32, and 115/70 to 55/39 respectively. All three remained conscious but had severe symptoms and signs of orthostatic hypotension, feeling unwell and unable to stand for more than a few seconds. Each patient had to wait (for 4 hours in one patient) until the drop in blood pressure became tolerable. Figure 1 shows the average mean blood pressure changes in this group. On the basis of this adverse event a decision was taken to unblind the study and discontinue recruitment.
Administration of VIAGRA with nitric oxide donors such as organic nitrates or organic nitrites in any form is contraindicated. Consistent with its known effects on the nitric oxide/cGMP pathway, VIAGRA was shown to potentiate the hypotensive effects of nitrates [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION, CONTRAINDICATIONS, CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY].
For the 20 subjects who received VIAGRA 100 mg and matching placebo, the placebo-subtracted mean maximum decreases from baseline (95% CI) in systolic blood pressure were as follows: Placebo-subtracted mean maximum decrease in systolic blood pressure (mm Hg) VIAGRA 100 mg Supine 7.9 (4.6, 11.1) Standing 4.3 (-1.8,10.3)
Do not take this medication with any other product that contains sildenafil or other similar medications for erectile dysfunction-ED or pulmonary hypertension (such as tadalafil, vardenafil).
Most people who get shockwave therapy for ED will often see benefits within one to three months. The initial results (within the first several weeks) can be dramatic. There is still not enough long-term research and data to say how long the treatment might last, whether the effects of the treatment could wear off, or whether you will need additional treatment at a later time.

What causes ED? There are many causes of impotence both medical and psychological. Often, age is a predominant factor in erectile dysfunction; however, your chronological age is not solely responsible for ED’s development. Men over the age of 40 typically experience ED as the result of inadequate blood flow to the penis, most often due to the narrowing of blood vessels. This can arise due to many causes including:
Some herbal products and supplements can cause side effects or interact with other medicines. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before you try an alternative treatment for erectile dysfunction, especially if you're taking medications or you have a chronic health problem such as heart disease or diabetes.
