Erectile dysfunction (impotence) is a sexual dysfunction characterized by the inability to develop or maintain an erection of the penis.
An erection problem is the inability to get or maintain an erection that is firm enough for a man to have intercourse. You may be unable to get an erection at all, or you may lose the erection during intercourse before you are ready. If the condition persists, the medical term is erectile dysfunction.
Erection problems are common in adult men. In fact, almost all men experience occasional difficulty getting or maintaining an erection. In many cases, it is a temporary condition that will go away with little or no treatment. In other cases, it can be an ongoing problem that can damage a man's self esteem and harm his relationship with his partner, and thus requires treatment.
If you have difficulty having or keeping an erection more than 25% of the time, it is considered a problem.
In the past, erection problems were thought to be "all in the man's mind." Men often were given unhelpful advice such as "don't worry" or "just relax and it will take care of itself." Today, doctors believe that when the problem is not temporary or does not go away on its own, physical factors are often the cause.
One way to know if the cause is physical or psychologic is to determine if you are having nighttime erections. Normally, men have 3 to 5 erections per night, each lasting up to 30 minutes. Your doctor can explain a test to find out if you are having the normal number of nighttime erections.
In most men, erection difficulties do not affect their sex drive.
Premature ejaculation (when orgasm comes on too quickly) is not the same as impotence. Together with your partner, you should seek counseling for this problem, which is usually due to psychological factors.
Male infertility is also quite different from impotence. A man who is unable to maintain an erection may be very capable of producing sperm that could fertilize an egg. An infertile man is usually able to maintain an erection, but he may be unable to father a child due to problems with sperm count or other factors.
An erection requires the interaction of your brain, nerves, hormones, and blood vessels. Anything that interferes with the normal process can become a problem.
Causes:
Diseases and conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart or thyroid conditions, poor circulation, low testosterone, depression, spinal cord injury, nerve damage (for example, from prostate surgery), or neurologic disorders (such as multiple sclerosis or Parkinson's disease)
Medications such as blood pressure medications (especially beta-blockers), heart medications (such as digoxin), some peptic ulcer medications, sleeping pills, and antidepressants
Nicotine, alcohol, or cocaine
Poor communication with your partner
Stress, fear, anxiety, or anger
Unrealistic sexual expectations, which make sex a task rather than a pleasure
"Vicious cycle" of doubt, failure, or negative communication that reinforces the erection problems
Erection problems tend to become more common as you age, but it can affect men at any age and at any time in their lives. Physical causes are more common in older men, while psychological causes are more common in younger men.
For many men, lifestyle changes can help:
Cut down on smoking, alcohol, and illegal drugs.
Get plenty of rest and take time to relax.
Exercise and eat a healthy diet to maintain good circulation.
Use safe sex practices, which reduces fear of HIV and STDs.
Talk openly to your partner about sex and your relationship. If you are unable to do this, counseling can help.
Couples who cannot talk to each other are not likely to be able to make love to each other. Men who have trouble communicating their feelings may find it difficult to share with their partner any anxieties about their sexual performance. If you keep worries to yourself, you are more likely to lose erections. Men who cannot express and resolve feelings of anger or frustration towards their partner may hold back their erection as a weapon in the conflict. In these circumstances, counseling can be very helpful for both you and your partner.

The three drugs covered in this chapter for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) are vardenafil (LEVITRA), tadalafil (CIALIS), and sildenafil (VIAGRA). All work in a similar way and are members of the family of drugs known as phosphodiesterase inhibitors.

A recent review article (Fazio L, Brock G. Erectile dysfunction: Management update. Canadian Medical Association Journal Apr 27, 2004; 170: 1429 - 1437.) on the diagnosis and treatment of ED offers good advice about distinguishing it from other types of sexual dysfunction. “The most important component of diagnosing erectile dysfunction is obtaining a complete medical and sexual history. It is important to distinguish the condition from other sexual dysfunctions, such as premature ejaculation and loss of libido.”

This review continues, saying: “The circumstances surrounding erectile dysfunction may be helpful in determining whether a situational or nonorganic factor is involved. Sudden onset, maintenance of nocturnal erections, presence of psychological problems and concurrent major life events or relationship issues may be associated with nonorganic erectile dysfunction. Concurrent medical illnesses and any medications the patient may be taking should be reviewed. Erectile dysfunction is often a component of generalized medical illness and may represent the initial presentation of cardiovascular disease or diabetes. The history may also reveal certain reversible or modifiable risk factors, such as tobacco use or inadequate diabetes control.”

A number of drugs can cause sexual dysfunction in both women and men.

Determining the potential benefits of vardenafil, tadalafil, or sildenafil is much more complex than for drugs that are used to treat cancer, heart disease, or high blood pressure, for example, where one of the potential benefits may be increased survival or avoidance of a heart attack or stroke. It is unlikely that untreated ED contributes to decreased survival, even though it may contribute to emotional distress and strained relationships. Weighing the potential benefits of these drugs involves the interactions in a private relationship based on human emotions and a couple’s perception of their quality of life.

There will be many men without erectile dysfunction who will want to try these drugs, seeking to increase their sexual performance. This can only be regarded as risky behavior.
