Sex always involves the body and the mind, and although prejudices about masculinity say the opposite, erectile dysfunction is a health problem where the emotional and the organic are always present, differently at each other.
The erection of the male limb – with which every man coexists since birth – symbolizes so many things that sometimes the man forgets that his penis is another organ of his body, and as such does not does not respond to the will nor to any
In the case of chest pain, for example, the person usually consults the doctor by telling him that something is wrong in his body and that this can be dangerous for his health
. to be very different from what happens before erectile dysfunction: usually, who suffers only from care that your penis is functional as soon as possible without even wondering what is going on.
And that is the Ion worry that usually transmits to the doctor during the consultation.
"There is a bbadization of the penis, as if it was not an organ that is part of the body of the man," says Sergio Pusarelli, a urologist specializing in the treatment of male badual dysfunction. Boston Medical Group (BMG)
Raise a finger and touch your nose is a voluntary movement: anyone can do it immediately when he wants it; penis erection during a badual relationship, however, is not a voluntary movement, but the physiological response of an organ (so that it always involves organic factors) to certain physical and mental stimuli that the person finds agreeable (ie, "
" The way these organic and emotional factors act in each person is what specialists need to discover when we come to office with badual dysfunction, because to solve the problem, it takes "Pusarelli"
The mistaken and sometimes unconscious belief that the erection works as a "voluntary movement" is a simplification that is part, according to the 39, author, of what the patient thinks to be., Of a trivialization that has consequences in the badual life of the people.
"Many men take it as if the erection was one or Bligation, "said Fabián Gómez , also urologist.
Gomez recalled that "in addition, every man usually has three or four physiological erections per day, awake or asleep, without any need for erotic stimulation."
Physiological erections and those that are the Erotic stimulus product involve intense blood flow through the cavernous bodies through a network of many arteries.
"These natural processes oxygenate the tissues and help preserve erectile function, and when they do not, the cells begin to deteriorate, which is why it is very important that the person consult the doctor as soon as possible. In general, they are reversible, but if they remain at the hour without treatment, they can become irreversible, "said Gómez
. Because of the importance of proper artery functioning for erection to occur, it is easy to understand that the penis, as an organ, is one of the leading candidates for be affected by any circulatory problem: cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hypertension
"That's why smoking, obesity, high cholesterol and other risk factors that affect health in general can also become risk factors for erectile dysfunction, and erectile dysfunction should be a reason for medical consultation because it can, on the sidelines of the bad life, be 'warning' of a larger threat to health, "said Pusarelli.
The well-known mythology of what masculinity should be – gender stereotypes – the connotations of power that once called "helplessness" a medical problem and other cultural traces, remain for a long time s men – fortunately, less and less – an obstacle that prevents them from talking about the subject and delays the consultation.
"Young people are much more free to talk about what happens to them in their bad lives, but those who today still have a very restrictive culture around these issues," Pusarelli remarks.
When a patient arrives at the office suffering from an erectile dysfunction problem, specialists apply a medical protocol whose first step is a detailed interrogation, supplemented by a battery of clinical studies, mostly vascular.
"From this a diagnosis is made, and the next step is to inform the patient why the problem occurs, why it is perpetuated, how are we going to treat it, depending on the extent and the seriousness of the problem, "said Pusarelli. reference to the work of the BMG, an international alliance of health centers specializing in the treatment of male badual dysfunction, with more than one million patients treated worldwide.
The specialist emphasizes the importance of giving "a good explanation".
"Patients who consult us are adults, we can not just tell them" Tomato is going to become barbarous ", because it does not allow the person to understand it's in that sense he said that the idea that a pill could solve everything, argues, "another popular myth".
"The famous pill can reach in mild cases or those where the man does not trust, but the reality says that there are even healthy people who do not take indeed, that there are problems of use as with any medication, and that erectile dysfunction is still a problem for thousands of men, "he said.
Therefore, when looking for answers to the question "What's wrong with me?" It's very important not to look for the answer in stereotypes or unfounded beliefs, or to think that there is a magic solution that will solve the problem.
