Let’s Talk About Health Matters – Minding Your Well-Being: Men’s Health

#All in 4 Health: #Allin4health# health4all #minding your wellbeing #healthawareness By Dr T W Ngwenya Changamire We have been discussing various topics around men’s health and as we come to the end of the men’s health series we will discuss a very important and prevalent problem. This is a rather difficult and sensitive topic for most men to discuss or to bring up during a medical consultation. Erectile dysfunction is the topic and contrary to what many may think, it is affecting many young men. People think that this is a condition that affects elderly men only, mostly those above 50 but this is not the case. Advanced age is not the only contributory factor to development of erectile dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction is a condition in men where the penis is not able to become erect or an inability to stay erect during sexual activity. It is sometimes referred to as impotence. This condition also reduces your sexual desire. Healthy nerves and healthy blood vessels in the penile area are required for a strong and lasting erection.
