Erectile Dysfunction: Causes and Treatment
By Connie Limon

• Penile implants involve surgically placing a device into the two sides of the penis, which allows an erection to occur as often and for as long as desired. The treatment is usually expensive, and usually not recommended until other methods have been considered or tried first. There is always a small risk of infection with any kind of surgery.

• Psychological counseling is recommended if the erectile dysfunction is felt to be caused by stress, anxiety or depression. Consultations with a psychologist or psychiatrist may be necessary.

Some tips on prevention are:

• Limit or avoid the use of alcohol and other similar drugs
• Stop smoking
• Exercise regularly
• Reduce Stress
• Get adequate sleep
• Regular medical check-ups

Regardless of the cause erectile dysfunction can become a source of mental and emotional stress for a man and sexual partner. Do not view one or a few episodes of erectile dysfunction as a lasting statement on your health, virility or masculinity. Couples may also want to seek counseling. Treatment is often more successful if couples work together as a team.
