4 ED Myths You Can Forget About

June 16, 2016

Life comes at your fast. Sometimes, so do sexual encounters, which can be great when all goes well, but can be awful when everything seems to shut down all at once for no good reason. It’s frustrating. It’s embarrassing. And it’s extremely common. Yet despite the masses of men who go through these awkward run-ins with erectile dysfunction, very few are willing to discuss it. And whenever something enters the realm of taboo, there’s always a lot of room for misinformation. Luzato Medical Group is here to clear the air and make a few important points known. Here are four myths about ED perpetuated in public discourse that you have no place worrying about. You can learn more about how to make your sexual struggles a thing of the past by contacting Dr. Bruder, an erectile dysfunction doctor Manhattan can count on.

It’s an inevitable byproduct of getting old

Erectile dysfunction does not just happen because of your age. Men of all ages can experience it. If it begins to happen all of a sudden and in the past has not been in an issue, it could be an indication of another problem, often times related to blood circulation or heart problems. Some experts have suggested that the onset of ED can precede a heart attack by several years even. That doesn’t mean that that is certainly what is happening with you. It does however mean that you should never write off any change in health, including issues pertaining to your sexual experience.

It’s an unfortunate but ultimately inevitable reality that some men just have to deal with

As is the case with the previous myth, you should never write off your ED as something that’s beyond your control. It’s easy to lose sight of personal health and good habits when life gets busy. But improving your diet and exercise routine will almost certainly improve your sex life substantially. It’s not your genes. It’s your bad habits mixed with your lack of good ones. But today’s a new today. Time to throw on some sneakers and go for a jog.

Your brain’s to blame

Well your brain could be part of it, but the equation is a lot more complex than that. Male labido depends not just on your thoughts, but also your hormones, your blood vessels and circulation, your nerves, and your general health. As it turns out, there’s actually a lot of stuff that’s got to go right! And it can. And it usually does, provided that you take good care of yourself.

Your spouse or partner is to blame

Let’s just do away with this one right away. If you’re in bed with this person, that means you like her or him. You made a conscious decision to be sexually active with another person because you found this person attractive. And even if you had a sudden change of heart once it came time to actually do the deed, 9 times out of 10, that should not be enough to rob you of an erection.

Hopefully you’ve learned something valuable today. Erectile dysfunction is common and totally treatable. If you’d like to learn more about potential solutions, contact Manhattan erectile dysfunction doctor Bruder of the Luzato Medical Group at 212-661-7003 today.
