Erectile Dysfunction Info   
by Jerry Webber


How does an erection happen?

For an erection to occur, a series of events must take place. The first event in this chain
is psychosexual stimulation. This is promoted by the male sex drive, also known as
libido. The mind then sends impulses down the nerve pathways to the penis. These
nerve impulses relax the smooth muscles of the arteries which supply the penis with
blood. This muscle relaxation leads to engorgement and erection of the penis. After
orgasm, the blood is returned to the general circulation and the penis returns to a soft
(flaccid) state. Even a minor disturbance in any of these steps such as decreased blood
supply, disturbances of nerve mechanisms or psychosexual problems may lead to
erection problems.


What is erectile dysfunction?

Impotence is the failure to get an erection, or keep an erection long enough for
satisfactory lovemaking. It isn.t a disease, but a symptom of some other problem, either
physical, psychological or a mixture of both. Contrary to popular belief, the majority of
cases have physical causes, with only one in ten cases of impotence being caused by
psychological problems. It is normal to experience the occasional bout of impotence.
Unless it persists, there is no reason to be concerned.

What is the mechanism of action of ED Medicines?

The most popular ED drugs are Viagra (Sildenafil), Levitra (Vardenafil) and Cialis
(Tadalafil). They work by blocking the action of the enzymes that prevents erections from
happening. The smooth muscle of the arteries in the penis is forced to relax, allowing
the penis to fill with blood.
