What is ED? Impotence or erectile dysfunction (ED) is failing to get or maintain an erection, especially during sexual intercourse. Incidental impotence is not necessarily uncommon since many men may have difficulty getting an erection due to several factors, such as including stress. However, frequent ED can be classified as a form of sexual dysfunction that needs immediate treatment. Start by discussing your situation with your family doctor and the benefits of using, ED such as taking medication like Cialis (brand name) or Tadalafil (generic). If you do not have a family doctor or would like a confidential appointment with a Kama Health-affiliated physicians, simply follow this link for more information.
Many factors may cause ED, but what’s more important is finding the best treatment best suited to your needs, such as Tadalafil. Read on to find out the most common causes of impotence:
The Journal of Urology published research that revealed that being depressed can increase the risk of ED, and when a man suffers from ED, he will also most likely suffer from associated depression.. This can lead to a vicious cycle which can cause serious relationship problems, but in most cases, sex therapy and couples counselling, along with the use of an effective ED medication can help solve the problem.
The Diabetes Care journal published research showing that 58% of diabetic men have occasional or frequent erectile dysfunction. When blood sugar is not adequately controlled, then there is a high possibility of ED cases.
These medical conditions can result in poor blood flow in the body, including the penis. This will result in the inability to get an erection.
Men who have diabetes, unexplained anemia, a history of chronic drug abuse or who have HIV are prone to have low testosterone. A blood test will determine if you have low testosterone, and the doctor may prescribe a testosterone replacement, depending on your case.
An obese person has a BMI of 30 or up, and men with a BMI of 28 have a higher risk of ED. Maintaining healthy BMI levels of 20-25 is advisable; one of the most effective ways to achieve this is through a healthy and active lifestyle.
ED can also result from taking certain medications such as antidepressants, antihistamines, painkillers or diuretics, just to name a few. If you need help in treating ED, consult with your doctor and discuss all of the medications that you are taking to see if there is a connection to your erectile dysfunction.
Tadalafil is recommended for ED treatment and can only be acquired if you have a prescription from a doctor. Cialis is the popular brand name, but it can also be purchased as Tadalafil, the generic equivalent of the brand.
Brand name Cialis (Tadalafil) 20mg or any other dose is highly preferred, but many people would also opt for generic pills because they are much more affordable.
Tadalafil is part of a drug called PDE5 or phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors. Tadalafil medication works by relaxing the muscles in the bladder and prostate, which can also help patients with BPH or benign prostatic hyperplasia.
The use of Tadalafil medication such as Cialis Tadalafil is highly recommended for ED patients. Along with sexual stimulation, Tadalafil works by increasing blood flow to the penis and will help men maintain an erection.
Cialis and the generic Tadalafil work efficiently since they both contain the same components that can treat ED. If you choose to use generic tadalafil, ensure that the medication has been approved by the FDA and has the same amount of active components as the branded tadalafil.
There are two ways to take Tadalafil; once daily at a lower dose or as needed. Your doctor will recommend the best way to take the medication and the right amount to help treat ED. Here are the top tips to help you get the most out of the medication:
Choosing the proper ED medication really depends on your lifestyle and preferences. Generic Tadalafil medicine has proven to be effective in treating ED more than the branded Cialis Tadalafil. There is little difference between branded or generic medicines except for the price. So, if you are wanting to save money while achieving the same results, generic tadalafil could be your best option.

Tia HealthMen with concerns about their erectile function can take this quick test and get some information on whether it might be good to seek help for ED.
Most men have experienced some difficulty in getting or keeping an erection. Having trouble when you’re nervous or have had too much to drink may not be something to be concerned about.
It isn’t erectile dysfunction unless you are experiencing ongoing difficulty.
The Canadian Study of Erectile Dysfunction identified 49.4% of men over 40 with ED (Canadian Urological Association erectile dysfunction guideline 2015). Though all men may experience an occasional lapse of sexual function, ED is the persistent inability to achieve an erection, despite being sexually aroused.
Each of the questions has five possible responses, with score values from one to five.
Your total score is simply the sum of the values of all five answers to the ED test questions.
22-25: No erectile dysfunction
17-21: Mild erectile dysfunction
12-16: Mild to moderate erectile dysfunction
8-11: Moderate erectile dysfunction
5-7: Severe erectile dysfunction
The results of this brief self-evaluation should be used as a guide for whether you might want to consult with a doctor, and not as a replacement for a medical consultation.
Answer the five questions and the results will be automatically emailed to you in minutes.
