THE PATHOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION: A TABOO OF SEXUAL HEALTH
AbstractNormally, there are two major sexual grievances in men; Erectile dysfunction or impotence and premature ejaculation. Premature ejaculation (PE) is a condition where the orgasm or the emission of semen occurs sooner during sexual intercourse. Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a sexual dysfunction mainly characterized by the inability to either develop an erection or maintain an erection of the penis during sexual intercourse. ED is found to be more prominent in elderly and mature men. As reported in the previously conducted studies, the health-related influences for ED include hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, depression, and heart ailments. As the age increases, the prevalence also increases, especially the age group of 60 to 69 years showed the highest incidences of ED. The median age was of 65 years among all the participants reporting ED. With the increasing tendency in life expectancy in the western countries, and the high prevalence of health ailments like diabetes and various Cardiovascular disorders, the impact on lifestyle and eminence of life imposed by ED in men is likely to be substantial.
