In the UK, about 2.3 million men suffer from erectile dysfunction. About 1 in 10 men struggle with this condition at some point in their lives. An erection is triggered by sexual stimulation which can be caused by many factors such as erotic fantasies or direct stimulation of penis. It is also described as a hydraulic event, which is regulated by nerves, hormones, and the blood circulatory system.

What causes erectile dysfunction?

Erection is a complex process. When you are sexually aroused, brain sends signals to the blood vessels to relax and let blood flow to penis. As blood enters into the two chambers of penis, erection occurs. So the nervous system, the circulatory system, brain, and hormones work in tandem to cause an erection. A little disruption in any of the bodily processes can hamper the ability to get an erection. cGMP is an element which relaxes blood vessels to increase the flow of blood to penis. PDE-5 is an enzyme that naturally breaks cGMP. If the level of PDE-5 enzyme increases, it affects the level of cGMP, which may lead to erectile dysfunction.

Other physical factors that can cause erectile dysfunction are obesity, diabetes, injury to spinal cord or brain, prostate surgery, and diseases of the nervous system. Apart from these physical factors, some psychological factors such as stress, anxiety, and depression can also lead to erectile dysfunction.

Cialis – Erectile dysfunction treatment

Cialis (tadalafil) is a prescription medication considered for effective erectile dysfunction treatment. It works by blocking PDE-5 enzyme and thus maintaining the level of cGMP to get an erection. As a result, there is increased flow of blood to penis. It allows blood to remain in penis for a longer period of time, which in turn maintains longer erection during sexual intercourse. Cialis daily comes in two dosages – 2.5mg and 5mg. The available strengths of Cialis 36-hour pill are 10mg and 20mg. You can order Cialis online from registered clinics to save time.
