Erectile Dysfunction Treatments

Erectile dysfunction is a condition that affects over 30 million men in the United States. Also known as ED, erectile dysfunction is defined as the consistent inability to sustain an erection for sexual intercourse. This inability can affect men with different intensities: some are entirely unable, others are inconsistent, while a third group can only sustain them for brief periods of time.

Natural Erectile Dysfunction Treatments
When diagnosed with erectile dysfunction, most men are usually prescribed some type of pharmaceutical solution. Names such as Viagra, Levitra and Cialis have rapidly become household names. Nevertheless, these drugs do not cure the problem. Instead, they focus on temporarily controlling the symptoms--but often come with a number of negative side effects.

To understand erectile dysfunction treatments, it is essential to understand the condition itself. When sexually aroused, blood is rushed to the penis chamber. At this point, the muscles controlling blood flow exiting the penis are contracted--slowing the escape of blood and thus creating an erection. Sufferers of ED typically have either poor blood flow to the area, muscles that will not contract correctly, or a combination of the two.

There are a number of nutritional supplements, such as Cnidium Monnier and L-Arginine that can actually increase blood flow to the penis or increase the nitric oxide needed to sustain erections. Although these supplements do not cure Erectile Dysfunction, they can provide a natural alternative or supplement to pharmaceutical options. It is important to remember that these supplements do not cause erections; however, they just make it easier to sustain one when sexually aroused. The Stamina-Rx formula available from our Vitality Fit website combines many of these powerful ingredients.
