Erectile dysfunction, a condition which affects men, is the "failure to sustain an erection that can deliver sufficient stimulation or deposit correctly semen to the opposite sex is dysfunction of erection."
As Pokeyourmind, after receiving queries through the Facebook page, i followed up with a gynaecologist.
Dr Mwanahamuntu: The condition is a result of either psychological
failure, fear, emotional disconnectivity in matters of sex but it can also be a result of many diseases that affect nerve
and blood supply such as diabetes, high blood pressure, painful lesions of the
penis to name a few.
Pokeyourmind: What symptoms should men look out for?
Dr Mwanahamuntu: Symptoms include failed
initiation of sex or even completion of penetrative sex without use of a
prosthesis penis (a device designed to make a part of the body work better). The penis will simply be limp or too soft to penetrate the
receptacle vagina.
Pokeyourmind: How common is this
condition?
Dr Mwanahamuntu: The
exact stastics can not be precise as all sexual conditions normal
are but a third of suffered of diabetes, high blood pressure and mentally
stressed people plus alcoholics will have this condition once in a while or
always.
Pokeyourmind: What type of treatment is available?
Dr Mwanahamuntu:
Mostly treating the cause is a sure solution. Other treatments have involved
use of medications that have selective actions on blood vessels expansionism.
Sometimes surgery that link lower abdominal blood vessels directly to the main
blood supply of the penis have been used. Desperate measures of using false penis also save situations and
interpersonal affection.
Pokeyourmind: Can the use of sex boosters’ contribute to erectile
dysfunction?
Dr Mwanahamuntu: They
don’t but should be used with consultation of physicians.
Remember, size of penis is not critical as the nerves that a penis targets in
the vagina are just 2 to 3 centimeters deep. It is is futile to enlarge a penis
and remain the lazy man.
Pokeyourmind: What are some of the side-effects of using sex boosters
such as the popular Mutototo?
Dr Mwanahamuntu: Mutototo
has no researched dose and side effects. It's production is not regulated and
am not sure whether it kills or helps people.
Pokeyourmind: Is there an age when it’s appropriate to use sex boosters?
Dr Mwanahamuntu: What
limits the use of these drugs is the overall performance of other organs
summoned to jointly participate in sex. For example the heart. There is no
point to have a penis performing stronger than ones heart as this is a death
trap.
