When
men become sexually aroused, hormones, muscles, nerves, and blood vessels all
work with one another to create an erection. Nerve signals, sent from the brain
to the penis, stimulate muscles to relax. This in turn, allows blood to flow to
the tissue in the penis.
Once
the blood fills the penis and an erection has been achieved, the blood vessels
to the penis close off so that erection is maintained.
Erection
problems occur when you can’t achieve or maintain an erection that is firm
enough to have sexual intercourse. This can be called; erectile dysfunction,
impotence or sexual dysfunction. For most men, these problems occur
occasionally and aren’t a serious problem but if it occurs at least 50% of the
time, you might require medical attention.
Symptoms of erectile dysfunction
Common causes of erection dysfunction
Causes
of erectile dysfunction can be classified into physical cause, psychological
cause or both.
Physical cause:
They
occur because of disorders that affect the nerves and blood vessels responsible
for causing an erection. They include:
Psychological causes:
These
are emotional issues and include:
DIAGNOSING ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION
Testing
for erectile dysfunction can involve a variety of steps, including physical
examination, health and sexual history.
Psychological history taking

Treatment for erection problems
Severity
of erectile dysfunction is often graded on a three point scale: mild, moderate
and severe. Options for treating erection problems include
Medical interventions
There
are variety of medical interventions that can be used to treat impotence.
Prescription treatment for impotence include:
·
Vascular surgery may also be considered
(to improve blood flow in the penis) penial implant surgery.
You
may consult your doctor for more appropriate prescription as self-medication or
over the counter drugs are not medically advisable.
Penis pumps
This
is another option for individuals looking for noninvasive, nondrug treatments.
Penis pumps may be very effective for those with moderate erectile dysfunction.
Lifestyle changes
Complications of erectile dysfunction
“Men with blood sugar imbalances have trouble
getting or maintaining erections”, says Mark Hyman, MD. Research has even shown
that sugar is a major cause of erectile dysfunction, mostly in diabetic men.
“A sugar high is short
term and not sustainable”, says Dewayne Riggins, an elite trainer, mixed
martial artist, and fitness instructor. Riggins suggests that one stick to “a
well-balanced diet throughout the day with vegetables, proteins, and good fats,
which will maintain a consistent level of energy for our body. Avoid high-sugar,
hard-to-digest food like candy and dried fruits.”
Sugar seriously hinders your libido
Leptin, is a hormone that
tells your body when to stop eating and also to monitor sexual behavior. Sugar creates
leptin resistance in the body which in turn leads to a decrease in sex
drive.
Sugar affects the level
of testosterone in men. Decreased testosterone levels will directly impact your
libido
Sugar leads to stress, which doesn’t help.
Sugar intake is one of
the classic trigger of cortisol release. Cortisol is a stress hormone. Elevated
level of cortisol in the body leads to feeling of being ‘stressed out’ and will
decrease your sex drive.
Therefore, high level of
sugar consumption (sugary foods or drinks) is directly proportional to low
level of libido. Hence, you might want to consider cutting down you daily sugar
consumption as a man.
Something
very interesting to note: each meal of the day
should be balanced and evenly spaced throughout the day in order to maintain a
consistent energy level. “Removing or reducing sugar intake will allow u to
feel balanced throughout the day and will remove the chemical reactions in your
body which result in decreased testosterone and increased stress,” says
Riggins.
Too much sugar can cause
type 2 diabetes
Type 2 diabetes can cause
some serious problems in the bedroom. This happen because high blood sugar
level causes damage to the nerves and blood vessels, decreasing sensitivity and
making it more difficult for a man to get or maintain an erection.
Note:
type 2 diabetes may also affect women’s sexual function too much because the
damage it causes to the blood vessels can affect blood supply to the vagina and
clitoris, causing vaginal dryness and reduced arousal along with nerve
damage. Both can affect sensitivity, meaning reduced pleasure and difficulty
reaching orgasm.
How
to manage your sugar intake and boost your sex life.
A healthy diet is the key
to managing your blood sugar, weather you have type 2 diabetes, or simply think
you could be eating too much sugar or refined foods.
1.
Ditch processed foods: Most processed foods contains carbohydrates or added sugars that
can quickly spike your blood sugar level. Such foods include; white breads,
pastries, sugary breakfast cereals etc. move towards whole grains, vegetables
and whole fruits.
2.
Cut back on sugary treats
3.
Eat more vegetables: aim for low-starch
vegetables such as green vegetables or salad vegetables. Their fibers helps you
to keep fuller for long and balance out your blood sugar level.
4.
Reduce your alcohol intake: alcohol can
play havoc with your blood sugar too. Long term drinking can encourage both weight
gain and insulin resistance, increasing the risk for diabetes.
5.
Read food labels well before buy or consuming
them.
As a man, is sugar really
worth it to you? Do you want to have less sex because you love sugar? Choose your
priorities.

Hypertension, also known
as high blood pressure, is a long-term medical condition in which the blood
pressure in the arteries is persistently elevated. However, this is a major
risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke, heart failure, arterial
fibrillation, peripheral arterial disease, vision loss and chronic kidney
disease.
High blood pressure is
usually classified as primary or secondary hypertension. About 90-95% of cases
are primary. Primary hypertension is usually defined as high blood pressure due
to nonspecific lifestyle and genetic factors while the secondary hypertension
is defined as high blood pressure due to identifiable cause, such as chronic
kidney disease, narrowing of the kidney arteries, etc.
Measurement
of blood pressure
Blood pressure is
expressed by two measurements, the systolic and diastolic pressures, which are
the maximum and the minimum pressures respectively.
Blood | ||
Normal (at rest) | Abnormal | |
Systolic | 100-130 (mmHg) | >130 (mmHg) |
Diastolic | 60-80 (mmHg) | >80 (mmHg) |
Note that these
measurements might slightly be higher or lower depending on geographical
locations. Also, different numbers apply to children.
Signs
and symptoms
Hypertension is rarely
accompanied with symptoms, and it’s usually identified through screening. Some
people with high blood pressure usually report symptoms such as:
Hypertensive
crisis
is a condition in which the blood pressure is severely elevated (equal to or
greater than 180mmHg (systolic) and 110mmHg (diastolic)). It may either involve
damage to some organs including the brain, kidney, heart and lungs resulting
from elevated blood pressure (hypertensive emergency) or not (hypertensive
urgency).
Causes
The causes of high blood
pressure will be classified based on the two types of hypertension.
For primary hypertension, causes include:
For secondary
hypertension (high blood pressure resulting from identifiable cause), causes
may include:
Prevention
of hypertension.
Lifestyle changes are
recommended for the prevention of hypertension. An outline with the proposed lifestyle
changes by the US National High Blood Pressure Education Program for the
primary prevention of hypertension:
Management
of hypertension.
of high blood pressure is targeted towards lowering the blood pressure and
keeping it within normal range and also prevention of possible complications
that might arise from the condition. The management approach to hypertension
involves:
Lifestyle
modification: this is the first line of treatment of
hypertension. This includes:
Dietary
changes: diets with low sodium, vegetarian diets and green tea
consumption. Also increasing dietary potassium intake has potential to lower
the blood pressure. Adopting a dietary pattern such as DASH diet or
Mediterranean diet. The DASH diet is the most suitable. DASH diet means Dietary
Approaches to Stop Hypertension. It is a simple diet and can be easily followed
and it entails that you:
Ø Eat
more fruits, vegetables and cow fat dairy foods
Ø Cut
back on foods that are high in saturated fats, cholesterol and trans fats
Ø Eat
more whole grain foods, fish, poultry and nuts
Ø Limit
sodium, sweets, sugary drinks and red meats.
Physical
exercise: such as isometric resistance exercise, aerobic
exercise, etc.
Medications:
antihypertensive
medications of various classes are available for the management of the
condition. Contact you doctor for the appropriate prescription and treatment.
