Erectile Dysfunction Symptoms

Erectile Dysfunction Causes

Erectile dysfunction means a man is unable to maintain an erect enough penis for satisfactory sexual intercourse. Many men suffer from Erection Problems in New Zealand, whether it is a weak erection, total erectile dysfunction, soft penis during sex, or caused by an illness like Peyronie's Disease (curved or bent penis). There is Erectile Dysfunction Treatment available in New Zealand, and Essential Mens Clinic in Auckland, New Zealand specialises in Erection problems, Erectile Dysfunction Treatment and can help with losing erections or weak penis issues.

Many men have erection problems at times, and the likelihood increases with age, lifestyle and stress.

Key points

1. Erectile dysfunction, weak erections, erection problems, and soft penis problems are not diseases, but instead, symptoms of some other problem, either physical or psychological or a mixture of both.
2. Erectile Dysfunction can be distressing and may cause loss of confidence and self-esteem or depression, as well as relationship problems. This can then lead to more issues with weak erections, erection problems, soft penis or losing your erection, which makes the Erectile Dysfunction issue even worse!
3. There are treatments for Erectile Dysfunction in New Zealand, but recognising that you have a erection problem is the first step. Talking to a Doctor like Dr Mark Morunga at Essential Mens Clinic in Auckland, New Zealand, can help find a Erectile Dysfunction remedy or treatment that is right for you. 
4. You can help yourself by cutting down on alcohol, stopping smoking  and reducing the stress in your life. You can also take our Erectile Dysfunction Online Test  or our P-Shot (Priapus Shot) Online Test.

How does an erection happen?

Getting an erection is a complicated process - and keeping a hard penis is even more complicated! The veins that allow blood to enter and leave your penis are only so wide. During an erection, the blood vessels that let blood into your penis relax and widen (dilate). This lets more blood in which causes the sponge-like tissues of your penis to swell and harden.
Your thoughts and senses (touch, hearing, smell and sight) influence a part of your brain that can trigger an erection.

So, What causes an erection to fail?

Erectile dysfunction occurs when sexual stimulation or arousal does not result in enough blood flow to your penis, even though you may still have the urge. For most men there is a physical or medical reason for this erectile dysfunction. 

Even when there is an initial physical reason, when this has passed you may still feel anxious about having sex and this can add to the problem.

Smoking, drinking alcohol and the use of recreational drugs such as narcotics, stimulants and hallucinogens also create erection problems. Short-term use of alcohol affects sexual desire and reduces performance, and delays orgasm and ejaculation, and can cause your erections to be soft or weak. 

We have a range of treatments available at Essential Mens Clinic, and we encourage all men to look at their sexual health and feel confident to speak up when something doesn't feel right, whether thats erection issues, bent penis (Peyronie's Disease), or premature ejaculation.
