Vascular disease is a type of problem
older males can experience. It is a type of erectile dysfunction so it can
definitely affect their ability to have the quality of sexual lifestyle they
are interested in. With vascular disease, the arteries end up hardening. This
is going to prevent enough blood from being able to flow to the penis for it to
get hard at all or to get hard enough for intercourse to take place.
Approximately 50% of all men over the age
of 50 who have a type of erectile dysfunction find that it is due to vascular
disease. This is why men over the age of 55 are encouraged to get a screening
annually. Most doctors will include it in the physical exam that they do. Yet
too many males don’t see a doctor for a routine checkup each year as they should.
As a result, they end up with vascular disease
being a problem that isn’t identified
until it has already affected their ability to maintain an erection.
The research on the cases of vascular
disease that have been found find some common factors. Males who smoke, have
high cholesterol, or that are overweight tend to be at a higher risk. Males who
have been diagnosed with diabetes or heart disease also have a higher chance of
developing vascular disease as well.
In order to determine if a man is suffering
from vascular disease, an assessment is completed. Generally a blood test is
done which can provide the necessary information. The penis may be touched as
well to determine how sensitive the nerves are in it in connection with
arousal.
It is also very important for the patient
to give accurate information. The assessment will ask when they last time a
full erection was maintained. Many men lie about it as they don’t want to face
the problem or share it with their doctor. Yet they are there to help with such
issues and not being honest can prevent you from having a great sex life.
Once the vascular disease has been
confirmed, the doctor can discuss the course or action to remedy it. Many men
who need to make lifestyle changes such as to stop smoking or to lose weight
will for sexual activity to take place. That is how important it is to them and
the life they wish to engage in.
Sometimes the physical issues of vascular
disease have to be treated with emotional needs too. For the male who has been
dealing with it for a while, the anxiety and shame of not being able to
maintain an erection can be a factor. Even if the physical issues are resolved,
the mental block is still going to be there. Dealing with both factors at once
gives these men the best chance of overcoming their erectile dysfunction.
Depending on the assessment, the man may
be given a prescription for various types of medications to help maintain an
erection. Many of them have been quite successful and they continue to improve
all the time. There are also vacuum devices given that will help to pull more
blood into the penis so the erection can take place.
Surgery is becoming more of a common way
to treat vascular disease that has lead to erectile dysfunction as well. Many
men want to go this route rather than having to use drugs or a pump to get
their erections to take place. With surgery the arteries can be cleared so that
the blood can naturally flow to the penis like it should. If there are veins
that allow the blood to leak out they can be blocked. There are also implants
that can be permanently inserted to assist a man with getting an erection.
An estimated dozens of million men are
affected by vascular disease right now. Finding out if you are at risk is
important as it can help you to avoid being part of the statistics. Should you
end up with vascular disease though there are very effective ways of treating
it. Rather than giving up on sex, see a doctor who can help you find the right
solution for you.
