A Better and Healthier Life for you and your partner could start in your physician's office!

Erectile Dysfunction, or E.D., for short, is the inability to get or maintain an erection firm enough for intercourse.
Attaining an erection is actually a very complicated process.  It involves psychological arousal, sure, but if the physiology is not cooperative, forget it.  In younger men, psychological problems may be more at work.  In older men, chances are it involves physiology.
     Commercials, advertisements and E-mail messages may seem to be saying that you could just get a pill and, voila! Problem solved.  Yes, they ad the warnings at the end:  See your doctor, Don't take it if you are not healthy enough, etc. etc.  But what does this really mean?
     What is really means is that the medications will work but the smart way to use them is in conjunction with a total physical check-up.  Why?  Because you E.D. may be telling you something about your overall health.  And whay it may be trying to say is that you need to address a chronic health problem if you really want to ensure a long and healthy erection.

Erectile Dysfunction may indicate the presence of the following:

1. Chronic diseases such as diabetes or hypertension, low testosterone hormone levels, etc.
   
2. Use of some medications, for instance beta blockers;
   
3. Alcohol or nicotine use; and
   
4. Stress.
