Is penis size related to erection problems

Is penis size related to erection problems?

, ,

It is a popular myth to think that erection problems are related to penis size, the important thing is not the size, but the stiffness of the penis. Recall that the sexual function of the penis is given in erection and not the state of sagging, so that size is not an important factor, but the ability to stand up to achieve penetration. Interestingly, the larger a penis, the more blood it will need to achieve an erection.

How tall is a normal penis?

In India the average ranges between 10 and 13 centimeters.

Measures that really matter:

The measures that determine cardiovascular risk are the ones that really matter since they are associated with erectile dysfunction.

Does penis size reduce with age?

The size of the penis does NOT reduce with age, what does happen with age is that the penis loses stiffness and this is really important.

There are certain reasons why you can feel or observe a certain lack of rigidity such as:

  • Increase of weight: This reason can be considered as a purely visual effect. Because there is more fat in the pubic area, including abdominal fat, which exerts a weight and pressure on the scrotum, the penis may appear to be shorter. But attention, being overweight, increases the risk that blood does not flow properly, and has stiffness problems.
  • Peyronies: This disease causes a totally abnormal penile curvature. In some cases, there is fibrosis or scar in the corpora cavernosa inside the penis, which inevitably shortens its length. It is also the case that in some treatments, the use of surgery is recommended to correct the curvature, thus shortening the penis.
  • Aging: Caused by atrophy related to the lower number of testosterone in the body and less sexual activity. For these reasons it is advisable, as you get older, to have as many more sexual relations and erections, in order to avoid such atrophy.

In erectile dysfunction, several factors can contribute to the failure of certain treatments, based mainly on phosphodiesterase – 5 ( PDE-5 ) among which stress, depression or problems with the couple can be highlighted.

In a recent study conducted in North America (Michigan), a treatment of PDE -5 was performed on 50 patients suffering from erectile dysfunction, they were registered by the same doctor, and after measuring penis size, they were divided into 3 chord groups.

Although treatment with PDE-5 inhibitors significantly improved all the domains of the scores, no statistically substantial differences were found between the 3 groups according to previously measured scores, before and after treatment.

It can be concluded that penis size is not a factor in the treatment of patients with erection problems. Although it can be affirmed that treatment with PDE-5 inhibitors partially improved certain measures, no statistically significant differences were found between the 3 groups.

So we return to the topic that addresses us. The really important thing to keep in mind regarding erectile dysfunction is the stiffness and strength of the penis. That is why there are different treatments such as low-intensity regenerative waves (shock waves) applied in different areas of the penis to help strengthen them, specific drugs that help regulate blood flow and as a last case surgery will be addressed.

How Does Erection Work?

How Does Erection Work?

, ,

Erection is a function that depends on different mechanisms located at different levels. Let’s see how it works and some tips to avoid problems in maintaining the erection.

An erection starts from a sensory and / or mental stimulus. It is in the brain where sexual activation occurs, sending from it a signal that travels through the spinal cord through nerve stimuli that begin to stimulate the nerves located in the penis. This causes the corpora cavernosa to relax, favoring the entry of blood and resulting in stiffness in the area.

After this, and if ejaculation is achieved, or when the sexual stimulus subsides, other elements such as adrenaline cause the muscles to contract again, the accumulated blood comes out and the penis recovers the state of sagging.

For an erection you need:

  • A nervous system that works properly.
  • A vascular system that allows blood flow.
  • Ability to retain blood in the penis and keep it erect.

Why do erection problems appear?

Erection problems can appear for different reasons, taking into account that any problem in one of the elements involved in it can prevent it from happening. Broadly speaking, these causes are divided into two types:

  • Organic causes. When there is an alteration in the blood vessels, nerves or corpora cavernosa of the penis. Most often, what is affected are the blood vessels of the penis, which makes it difficult to enter or maintain the blood needed for an erection. This may be due to obstructions, trauma or injury to the arteries.
  • Cause psychogenic. When the origin is at the level of the brain (stress, depression, problems …)

Contrary to popular belief, advanced age by itself is not a cause of erectile dysfunction, but it is the diseases that usually occur at that time that influence its development. Also, taking drugs can also adversely affect erection.

Erectile dysfunction characteristics

To be considered erectile dysfunction, which appears most frequently in men over 40 years, the following situations must occur:

  • The problem of erection persists for more than three months, there is at least one failure every four intercourse.
  • There is a change in erection quality, both in stiffness and in time.
  • Inability to have or maintain an erection upon waking up in the morning.

 

Recommendations to avoid erection problems

There are several changes in lifestyle and habits recommended by the best sexologist in Delhi that can help prevent erectile dysfunction. Among them:

  1. Avoid tobacco

Tobacco use increases the probability of having erectile dysfunction by 60% and is the most frequent cause of erection problems in men under 35 years.

  1. Reduce alcohol intake.

Alcohol causes an interruption of the erection by inhibiting the proper functioning of the central nervous system, which justifies why in a state of drunkenness the satisfactory erection response is very limited.

  1. Healthy and balanced diet.

Obesity is linked to the development of metabolic disorders that can lead to diseases related to erectile dysfunction, such as cardiovascular problems or diabetes. Therefore, it is always advisable to follow a healthy diet to avoid excess weight.

  1. Exercise.

The regular practice of exercise reduces the chances of suffering from cardiovascular diseases, a factor that influences erectile dysfunction.

  1. Active sex life.

Maintaining sexual intercourse is a good exercise to keep the blood circulation and elasticity of arteries and corpora cavernosa of the penis in good condition, reducing the likelihood of developing an erectile dysfunction problem.

cause of erectile dysfunction

What are the Causes of Erection Disorders?

, ,

Anything that affects one or more of the elements involved in the erection can cause erectile dysfunction (impotence). In very general lines, we refer to organic causes when the vessels, nerves or corpora cavernosa of the penis are altered and psychogenic causes when the origin is at the level of the brain. On a large number of occasions, both organic and psychogenic causes can be found in the same individual. Apart from a large number of psychogenic problems such as depression, poor relationship, work or other problems, the fact of not having a proper erection condition a concern that makes the situation worse.

Among the organic causes, the most frequent are those that affect the blood vessels making it difficult to enter or maintain the blood in the penis. This may be due to obstructions (atherosclerosis), trauma or injury to the arteries. Since the penis is like a large blood vessel, it shares all the risk factors of cardiocirculatory disease (high cholesterol, smoking, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity). In many cases, it is possible to discover an important disease such as hypertension or diabetes, whose first manifestation is an erectile dysfunction by affecting small arterial vessels before. If the disease progresses, it can subsequently affect the arteries of the heart. For this reason,

Certain diseases, injuries or other nerve injuries can also cause erectile dysfunction. A frequent situation is that which occurs when the complete removal of the prostate is performed due to cancer. In these cases, it is very difficult that the erection nerves that are attached to the prostate are not injured.

Advanced age by itself is not a cause of erectile dysfunction, however, it is very common due to the diseases that the individual presents and that can affect the erection.

There are a lot of drugs (antihypertensives, antidepressants, etc.), drugs and other toxins that can affect the erection by acting at different levels.

Certain diseases of the penis such as the so-called Peyronie’s disease (fibrosis of the penis) can also cause dysfunction.

The decrease in testosterone mostly affects sexual desire, but it can also negatively influence erection.

Apart from those mentioned, there are many other known and unknown causes of erectile dysfunction.
