Erectile dysfunction is something that many men suffer from but very few actually talk about it. Instead of taking drugs for the problem, you should consider Ayurvedic treatment. With pharmaceutical drugs, there are all kinds of interactions with your body that could cause you other serious issues. With Ayurveda, this is simply not the case. Check out this recent research on the benefits of this type of healing.
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common type of male sexual dysfunction characterized by the inability to develop or maintain an erection of the penis during sexual activity. According to a study, more than 18 million men in the US over 20 are affected by erectile dysfunction. Factors such as age, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, lack of physical activity and hypertension are chiefly attributed to ED [1].
Other factors include [2]:
- Parkinson’s disease
- Multiple sclerosis
- Peyronie’s disease – a development of scar tissue inside the penis
- Tobacco use
- Alcoholism and other forms of substance abuse
- Treatments for prostate cancer or an enlarged prostate
- Certain prescription medications
- Surgeries or injuries that affect the pelvic area or spinal cord
- Clogged blood vessels (atherosclerosis)
