There are a number of myths and misconceptions surrounding ED. Here are some common myths about ED and the facts!<\/p>\n
Myth 1)<\/strong> \u201cErectile Dysfunction occurs with age and is a normal part of getting older.\u201d<\/p>\n ED is common in older men, however it isn\u2019t \u2018normal\u2019 and it\u2019s not something that you have to put up with. Many men require extra stimulation to help with intercourse or to get them aroused as they get older, however, this doesn\u2019t mean that you can\u2019t enjoy pleasurable sex in your senior years.<\/p>\n Myth 2)<\/strong> \u201cErectile Dysfunction doesn\u2019t affect younger men.\u201d<\/p>\n Older age isn\u2019t always the main factor of ED. Stress, fatigue, physical health, injury, medication or other reasons can all be a contributing factor towards having problems getting an erection, and this can affect a man at any age.<\/p>\n Myth 3)<\/strong> \u201cIf you\u2019re having difficulty getting an erection, this means you\u2019re not attracted to your partner.\u201d<\/p>\n Trouble getting an erection can be caused by many reasons, so it\u2019s not necessarily because you aren\u2019t attracted to your partner. It\u2019s more likely that your ED is caused by another factor, such as health problems like high blood pressure, diabetes, and medication with strong side effects, stress and anxiety, injury or diseases.<\/p>\n If your partner is worried that you are not attracted to her anymore, explain to her how you are feeling and that the reason is not that you lack sexual attraction. ED can put pressure on a relationship, so do seek advice from a doctor or a sexologist and they may be able to prescribe medication or offer further guidance.<\/p>\n Myth 4)<\/strong> \u201cED isn\u2019t going to harm my health, so I don\u2019t need to seek any help.\u201d<\/p>\n ED isn\u2019t going to harm your health, however it can be a warning sign of an underlying health condition that you may be suffering from but not yet aware of.<\/p>\n Diabetes, heart problems, hormone imbalances, neurological disorders or Parkinson\u2019s can be an underlying cause of ED, so this is why it\u2019s so important that you see your doctor and seek a medical examination to identify the cause and get treatment, so that you can resume an active sex life and maintain optimal health.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There are a number of myths and misconceptions surrounding ED.
