Understanding and addressing erectile dysfunction: Exploring causes and treatment options
Achieving and sustaining an erection involves a substantial flow of blood into the erectile tissues of the penis, and for the blood to remain there. This process relies on the coordination of nerves, muscles, blood vessels, and cognitive processes to function effectively.
When an erection is triggered, the blood vessels in the pelvic region need to expand, facilitating the formation of an erection. This is achievable when the erectile tissues are stimulated. The ability to sustain the erection hinges on the pelvic floor's flexibility, necessitating contractions for both achieving and maintaining an erection.
Struggling to achieve an erection often originates from a singular trigger, but other factors can combine, resulting in a vicious cycle.
For example, if tension builds up in the pelvic floor muscles due to physical exertion, this tension can block blood flow to the penis. As a result, you may notice difficulties in achieving an erection, a considerable reduction in size, or even experience discomfort.
Engaging in pelvic floor training that emphasises the connection between nerve sensations, blood flow, and muscle movements can help you overcome these barriers and achieve an erection.
