Erectile dysfunction
6:04 PM Posted In Health articles Edit This 1 Comment »
I started reading about ED when I suspected that my ex-fiancee had this problem. I researched and even encouraged him to read. However, he chose not to do so and it was later after I joined him in Holland, and our separation, only did the doctors confirmed my suspicions.
My ex-fiancee may have been in denial or too ashame to look into this problem. This created so much heartache for us both. I'd like to assure men out there that it's perfectly ok to not "rise" to the occasion some times. Please seek help.
Erectile dysfunction, or ED, can be a total inability to achieve erection, an inconsistent ability to do so, or a tendency to sustain only brief erections.
Physical Causes are:
Aging, older men above 40
Disease which damages nerves,arterires,tissues
Diseases—such as diabetes, kidney disease, chronic alcoholism, multiple sclerosis, atherosclerosis, vascular disease, and neurologic disease
Lifestyle choices: smoking, being overweight, sedentary lifestyle
Surgery (especially radical prostate and bladder surgery for cancer)
Medication - blood pressure drugs, antihistamines, antidepressants, tranquilizers, appetite suppressants, and cimetidine (an ulcer drug)—
Emotional/psychological Causes are:
• Stress
• Anxiety
• Guilt
• Depression
• Low self esteem
• Fear of sexual failure
Summary:
• Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the repeated inability to get or keep an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse.
• ED affects 15 to 30 million American men.
• ED usually has a physical cause.
• ED is treatable at all ages.
• Treatments include psychotherapy, drug therapy, vacuum devices, and surgery.

My fiancée had a condition called paraphimosis, I suspect as a Dr. Quack.
Phimosis and paraphimosis
Phimosis is a condition in which the foreskin of the penis is so tight that it cannot be pulled back (retracted) to reveal the head of the penis. Paraphimosis occurs when the foreskin, once retracted, cannot return to its original location.
Phimosis:
• often in children
• Natural cause is at birh
Other physical causes:
• Infection
• Scar tissue
• Chronic inflammation
• Balanitis, which leads to scarring and tightness of the foreskin
Results in: difficulty to urinate.
Paraphimosis
Occurance: after an erection or sexual activity, or as the result of injury to the head of the penis.
What happens: the foreskin becomes stuck behind the ridge of the head of the penis
Treatment of phimosis: may include gentle, manual stretching of the foreskin over a period of time. Sometimes, the foreskin can be loosened with medication applied to the penis. Circumcision, the surgical removal of the foreskin, often is used to treat phimosis. Another surgical procedure, called preputioplasty, involves separating the foreskin from the glans. This procedure preserves the foreskin and is less traumatic than circumcision.
Treatment of paraphimosis: reduce the swelling of the glans and foreskin by applying ice. Or apply pressure to the glans to force out blood and fluid.
