Erectile dysfunction is a condition in which there is an inability to achieve and maintain an erection of the penis that is required for satisfactory sexual intercourse. There are several psychological and physical factors that could cause erectile dysfunction. Physical factors would involve the organs of the body, while psychological factors would involve mental impotence.
This condition can cause significant stress to the individual, which could further interrupt sexual functioning. Conditions that affect the hormonal levels of the body can affect the ability to achieve an erection. Improper blood circulation in the penis and damage to the nerves of the area could also result in erectile dysfunction. Other causes of erectile dysfunction could include diabetes, drug intake, vascular disease, trauma or injury to the pelvic area and neurological and psychological conditions. Venous leak in the penis can also lead to problems of erection as the veins are unable to prevent the blood from flowing out of the penis during an erection. The veins may begin to function poorly due to damage, disease or injury.
Making certain adjustments in your lifestyle and dietary routine will help to reduce the problem of erectile dysfunction. Alcohol intake, cigarette smoking, excess drug intake, obesity and lack or inadequate exercise are factors that are likely to add to the problem and must be avoided. If psychological factors such as stress, anxiety or depression are causing the condition, then relaxation through meditation and yoga will prove to be beneficial. Regular aerobic exercise that is done for half an hour each day and thrice a week is very effective in strengthening the circulatory system and promoting proper blood flow in the penis. This is known to help greatly in overcoming erectile dysfunction. It is also important to get an adequate amount of sleep every night to keep the body energized and functioning properly. You may also try alternative therapies such as acupuncture or aromatherapy.
Certain herbs are known to enhance the circulation of blood and regulate proper flow of blood in the penis. These include asian ginseng, gingko biloba, Eurycoma longifolia and winter cherry. These herbs are believed to have aphrodisiacal properties and may be taken in capsule form. However, there has been no research to guarantee that they work in this regard. Individuals with erectile dysfunction are also advised to increase intake of flax seed oil, vitamins C and E and zinc. There are also certain amino acids and vitamins that are known to help in the treatment of erectile dysfunction. You can consult your doctor regarding the intake of these supplements.

Erectile dysfunction natural treatment Sildenafil citrate is a drug sold under several brand names that is used to treat male erectile dysfunction. It essentially works by increasing the flow of blood to the penis, thus resulting in a better erection. As far as I know, there are no alternatives that are as effective in treating erectile dysfunction, however two herbs — gingko and ginseng — have shown some success.
Gingko seeds are used in traditional Chinese medicine, and the leaves are quite commonly used in herbal medicine across the world. Certain compounds in gingko leaves enhance blood flow by thinning blood and improving muscle tone. Ginseng comes in several varieties. Korean red ginseng has traditionally been used to create a herbal brew that increases energy and sexual function. At least one recent study has shown that the herb is indeed useful in treating impotence.
In addition, there are several other things that you can do to address erectile dysfunction, as long as there is no disease or other physical reason for the condition to exist. Keep away from tobacco and go slow on the alcohol. Try to keep fit in general. Get enough rest, and try to relax in bed too — avoid concentrating on whether or not you have an erection. And most important, get some variety and excitement into your sex life — having a schedule, a fixed place, position, and pattern to your sexual life can take all the fun out of it.
