Think about it - you're a woman in your late 40's or early 50's, you exercise every day, buy your skincare at the cosmetic counter of an upscale department store, and wear something sexy when you go to bed just in case he's in the mood.
It's been weeks and you're really getting to the point where you need to be held by him, stroked by him, and told you look beautiful. You need sex. Meanwhile, he's already snoring. Sound familiar? Maybe it's time to look into the problem.
According to Stanley A Brosman, MD, and Stephen W Leslie, MD, FACS in their article Erectile Dysfunction on emedicine.com, sexual dysfunction is often associated with disorders such as diabetes, hypertension, coronary artery disease, neurologic disorders, and depression.
In some patients, sexual dysfunction may be the presenting symptom of such disorders. Additionally, ED is often an adverse effect of many medications.
Women may also suffer from some of these same conditions to say nothing of the struggle through debilitating troubles that accompany reproductive organs and/or menopause.
As we move into the 21st century, men and women have so many resources at their fingertips, such as the Internet, books, and magazines relating to health issues. However, the most important resource of all is your doctor.
Some men are unwilling to discuss erectile dysfunction with anyone including their spouse or doctor, thus, forecasting a very grim future for a healthy sexual relationship.
