What are signs & symptoms of ED?

When a man has trouble getting or keeping an erection it is called erectile dysfunction (ED).

Most men have problems getting and keeping an erection at some point in their lives.

The reasons can be many, some minor and some potentially serious. It is best to be open and discuss the matter with a doctor as there may be underlying causes that need attention. If the ED is “vasculogenic” it can be treated with Dual-action SONICWAVE.

The Biology of Erectile Concerns is Complex

Erectile performance is dependent on overlapping systems that are cardiovascular, neurological, psycho-social and hormonal. Dual-action SONICWAVE addresses local vasculogenic and neurological aspects by triggering tissue regrowth.

Conditions Associated With Erectile Dysfunction

Medical conditions include:

Peyronie’s disease — development of scar tissue inside the penis
Heart disease
Clogged blood vessels (atherosclerosis)
High cholesterol
High blood pressure
Diabetes
Obesity
Gout
Metabolic syndrome — a condition involving increased blood pressure, high insulin levels, body fat around the waist and high cholesterol
Prostate surgery (radical prostatectomy)
COVID and SPIKE Protein
Parkinson’s disease
Multiple sclerosis
Sleep disorders

Psychological causes of erectile dysfunction

The brain plays a key role in triggering the series of physical events that cause an erection, starting with feelings of sexual excitement. A number of things can interfere with sexual feelings and cause or worsen erectile dysfunction. These include:

Depression, anxiety or other mental health conditions
Stress
Relationship problems due to stress, poor communication or other concerns
Excessive use of porn

Prevention

The best way to prevent erectile dysfunction is to make healthy lifestyle choices and to manage any existing health conditions including:

Working with your doctor to manage diabetes, heart disease or other chronic health conditions
See your doctor for regular checkups and medical screening tests
Stop smoking and don’t drink excessively
Avoid powerful narcotics and illegal drugs
Exercise regularly
Take steps to reduce stress
Get help for anxiety, depression or other mental health concerns.

Also having sex regularly and masturbating helps keep the penis healthy in the same way that using a muscle keeps it strong.
