Erectile Dysfunction can be a devastating condition for a man to face, but it can also be equally as difficult for the woman to cope with. <\/span><\/p>\n The loss of intimacy that comes from not being able to have intercourse can be detrimental to even the healthiest of marriages. However, it is important to first determine the cause behind ED before trying to handle the emotional side of things.<\/span><\/p>\n Erectile Dysfunction, ED, is a lot more common than many people think. It is not always a permanent condition and there are many factors that can be the cause of impotence. The first thing that needs to be done is to see your GP to discuss what may be causing ED as there could be some underlying health issue that needs addressing.<\/span><\/p>\n The fact is that Erectile Dysfunction affects the whole of the UK, with over 4 million men suffering from ED. The chart on erectile dysfunction shows just how widespread the condition is. <\/span><\/p>\n The graphic shows that the percentage of men suffering from ED is greatest in London and The North of England. This chart only shows the men who are actively seeking treatment. There is no way of knowing how many more are not yet seeking help because of embarrassment or fear.<\/span><\/p>\n Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is a condition characterized by difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse. It can be caused by physical factors such as obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, or nerve damage, as well as psychological factors such as anxiety, depression, or stress. <\/span><\/p>\n Age can also be a factor, as the risk of ED increases as men get older. Treatments for ED include medications, such as Viagra or Cialis, lifestyle changes, such as exercise and weight loss, or psychological counseling.<\/span><\/p>\n There are many factors that can be the cause of Erectile Dysfunction. The thing to remember as a couple is that it is not a time to blame. Erectile Dysfunction has nothing to do with how attractive your husband finds you, it is not about his desire for sex with you. <\/span><\/p>\n Although this can often be the underlying fear of any wife.<\/span><\/p>\n Whatever the cause, it is always best to talk to your doctor about ways to improve your mental and physical health to help with the symptoms of ED.<\/span><\/p>\n This is why we recommend that you seek medical advice. If you have an undiagnosed condition, you may be putting more than your sex life at risk.<\/span><\/p>\n It can be a very difficult subject to approach in any marriage, even an emotionally strong one. Often there is resentment and fear on both sides. Not knowing why this is happening is often the worst part for the man because he will start to feel inadequate in some way and may lash out as a result.<\/span><\/p>\n Of course, this then leads to feelings of resentment on both sides and before you know it, a once-<\/span>healthy marriage<\/span><\/a> can be on the rocks.<\/span><\/p>\n Once you have your diagnosis, your doctor will go through the treatment options with you. This may involve a long-term plan of change of diet and lifestyle. Your doctor may encourage you to eat more healthily, get fit, and quit smoking and drinking to get your underlying condition under control. <\/span><\/p>\n Whatever your treatment options are, it is advisable to discuss this with your spouse. Even with a treatment such as Viagra, you may not be able to achieve an erection instantly, and it is good to confront the issue together to help you both understand the process.<\/span><\/p>\n Erectile dysfunction (ED) can have a significant impact on both partners in a relationship.
