Erectile dysfunctions have both physiological and psychological causes. Many such causes are medically reversible, others are not. Any condition that interferes with the flow of blood through the body is bound to have a negative impact on a man’s sex life. Diabetes is a good example of a disease hampering blood flow, as are kidney diseases, chronic alcoholism and multiple sclerosis. Men suffering from heart conditions or high blood pressure know that the drugs they take to avoid strokes are detrimental to what is known as a healthy sex life. Physical injury to the penis, spinal cord, prostate, bladder, pelvis or the nerves and arteries ear the penis and which are responsible for erections can be a factor causing erectile dysfunction.

On the psychological side, depression and the drugs associated with it interfere with erections. The same goes for feelings of anxiety, insecurity, low self-esteem and shame. Stress is another major cause of temporary erectile dysfunction, especially in today’s world. A history of erectile dysfunction also triggers patterns of depression and inadequacy that lead to further sexual failures. All these physiological and psychological problems are compounded by vices. Heavy consumption of alcohol, tobacco or drugs is extremely bad for the cardiovascular system. Tobacco clogs the arteries and disrupts the flow of blood, while alcohol consumption makes it harder for a man to achieve both erection and orgasm.

Since the issue is very sensitive, it is impossible to know how many men suffer from this dysfunction. It has been estimated that about 5 percent of 40-year-old men and 25 percent of 65-year-old men suffer from erectile dysfunction. The first major step to treating erectile dysfunction is to acknowledge the problem and to seek help. The second major step is to identify which approach suits the patient best. If the problem stems from feelings of depression and stress, then the patient should turn for a while to a life of relaxation, physical activity and socializing. Going to the gym or running in the park is a wonderful way to drive depression away because of both the physical exertion and socializing components involved. Working out is also a good way to strengthen the cardiovascular system and improve blood flow.

If the cause is a disease that hinders the flow of blood, doctors are likely to consider the use of vacuum devices or surgically implanted prostheses in order to achieve erection. People suffering from diabetes have few other options and have to turn to devices. But most people can get by with drugs that promote the flow of blood to the penis. Viagra, Levitra and Cialis are already famous for their effects, although men suffering from heart conditions should see a physician before touching the stuff. Other pills, like ProSolution Pills, are less radical in approach, but nearly as effective as the three brands mentioned above. Those who like a natural solution that has the advantage of originality, can also try penis exercises, like those made popular by the Penis Health program, to stimulate the flow of blood without any drugs or devices.

Nearly 3 percent of the entire male population is estimated to be afflicted with Peyronie’s Disease. It usually occurs between the ages of 45 and 60, though it’s been known to occur in men as young as 18. Symptoms of this disease include:

• Painful erection makes intercourse difficult or impossible
• Noticeable bend or arc in the penis with erection
• Noticeable narrowing of the diameter of the penis with erection
• Thick band of hard tissue within the penis

Many men with Peyronie’s Disease do not need any treatment. The disease sometimes clears up by itself, although it may take several years. Other men, however, do need treatment. So if you notice a slight bend or arc or in your penis during erection, you should immediately take action before it gets worse. The condition is typically progressive and leads to impotence or inability to have intercourse.

The exact cause of penile curvature is unknown but many researchers believe that the plaque that’s typical of Peyronie’s Disease develops following trauma (hitting or bending the penis) or vigorous sexual activity that causes localized bleeding inside the penis. Other researchers trace it to diabetes, circulatory disorders, or a genetic link.

There are several drug treatments for those suffering from Peyronie’s Disease like Vitamin E or B-complex treatment, steroid and calcium channel blockers injections, and radiation therapy but these are mainly for the reduction of pain. The most well known treatment for the disease however, involves surgery.

And this is where the SizeGeneticsâ„¢ system can help you. The traction device, which is part of the SizeGeneticsâ„¢ penis enlargement program, works by forcing the tissue that makes up the penis to expand instead of retracting and increasing the curve. By using the SizeGeneticsâ„¢ device on a regular basis, the men who took part in clinical studies have been able to reduce their curvatures and maintain or increase the size of their penises.

Included in the SizeGenetics™ package is a free membership to PenisHealth, the penis exercises program featuring a series of exercises designed to decrease the curvature caused by Peyronie’s disease. Members of this program can learn to increase the length and girth of their penises, prevent curvatures and premature ejaculation, and maintain sexual fitness throughout the years.
