Erectile Dysfunction and the Prostate!


Dr. James Chin, CEO of Prostaderm

Erectile dysfunction is the inability to achieve or maintain an erection for sexual intercourse. Men with erectile dysfunction have normal sensations and sex drive and are able to achieve orgasm.

The penis is made up of muscle, blood vessels and nerves. When a man becomes aroused, nerves send messages to relax the smooth muscle tissue in the penis, allowing the arteries to pump more blood into the chambers inside the muscle. As the penis lengthens, the veins stretch and shut themselves off, thus trapping blood inside the penis.

After ejaculation, the nerves stop sending messages, the smooth muscle contracts, blood flow to the penis is reduced, the veins loosen their hold so blood can leave the penis and the erection fades away.

The erection nerves carry the signals that enable an erection to occur. When the prostate becomes enlarged or swells, the erection nerves become stretched and the signals through those erection nerves get weaker. Note that the signals are present and are being sent out from the brain. However, the signals have to pass through the stretched erection nerves. The result is a weak erection or no erection.

When the prostate is swollen there is a constant strain on those erection nerves. At age 50 half of all men will have a prostate problem – the two most common problems are BPH, benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate) and erectile dysfunction.  It stands to reason that when the prostate swelling is eliminated the strain on those erection nerves is relieved and the nerves are restored to normal function.
