Ignoring these symptoms because of any reason such as embarrassment can mean potentially life-threatening health issues coming on way. For most men, Erectile Dysfunction could happen at some point in their lives. Nowadays you can do something about it.

Here in this article Istanbul Clinic in Istanbul offers you the main causes of Erectile Dysfunction, as we also offer you solutions to address such things and make your marriage life better.

What is ED?

It is very important to know that to get the reproductive organ strong for appropriate coitus, it is a process consisting of a complex series of events involving your heart, lungs, blood vessels, hormones, nerves, brain, and dozens of other important organs and systems.

So if you can’t get (or keep) it at the level, it may be an early indication that there is a greater risk, Erectile Dysfunction can be caused by basic health conditions such as:

1. Heart disease
2. Diabetic
3. High blood pressure
4. Low testosterone
5. Nerve damage
6. Depression
7. and more

How does a man get an erection?

Erections occur as a result of a man’s exposure to sexual arousal, either through touch, sight, or sexual fantasies in the brain.

This arousal results in the accumulation of electrical impulses in the nerves connected to the male organ, and thus nitric oxide is released in the nerves and then the release of cyclic guanine monophosphate, which is done in the muscle cells of the male organ.

The final stage is the relaxation of the muscles, allowing blood to flow rapidly into the penis, which is why the penis is stretched and enlarged, or what is known as an erection.

After a certain period of time, the levels of cyclic guanine monophosphate (cGMP) decrease, which results in penile relaxation, muscle contraction, and cessation of internal blood flow, which means erections cease.

The Main Causes Of Erectile Dysfunction in Men Are:

Erectile Dysfunction can be caused by many factors, including:

Vascular diseases:

these may prevent or narrow blood flow to the reproductive organ as a result of vascular diseases such as atherosclerosis.

Neurological disorders (such as multiple sclerosis):

Nerves that send impulses to the organ can be damaged by stroke, diabetes, or other causes.

Psychological conditions:

The brain plays a key role in triggering a series of physical events that cause erections, starting with the feeling of sexual arousal.

There are a number of things that can interfere with sexual feelings and cause or increase them. These include:

1. depression, anxiety, or other mental health conditions
2. Nervous stress.
3. Relationship issues due to stress, poor communication, or other concerns.

Trauma:

Injury can contribute to symptoms of Erectile Dysfunction.

Other reasons:

Chronic diseases and certain medications prescribed for conditions such as high blood pressure, allergies, depression, painkillers, anxiety medications, and Peyronie’s disease can also cause Erectile Dysfunction. Prostate, bladder, and colon cancer processes may also be contributing factors.

What is Venous Leakage?

venous leakage is a pathological condition that occurs when the veins in the organ are not able to deliver blood to the organ during the erection, causing blood to leak into the surrounding veins and the external tissues of the organ, as a result of which not enough blood reaches the organ which causes Erectile Dysfunction.

These signs include:

1. Persistent Erectile Dysfunction, with or without a partner.
2. Loss of the quality of morning erection
3. Loss of the quality of spontaneous erections
4. The lack of benefit of multiple therapies with conventional erectile dysfunction medications.

Causes of venous leakage

The main cause of venous leakage is insufficient constriction of the penile veins during sexual intercourse.

This causes the blood to leak back into the body, leading to a flaccid penis and erectile dysfunction.

Various factors can cause venous leakage such as:

1. Diseases that affect blood flow such as diabetes and high cholesterol
2. Peyronie’s disease
3. Diseases of the blood vessels
4. Low testosterone levels
5. Stress such as anxiety and depression
6. Exposure to a large amount of chemicals may cause sexual issues such as excessive smoking
7. Abnormalities in the muscles of the penis such as insufficient smooth muscle in the penis or structural changes in the corpus cavernosum of the penis.
8. Problems with the nervous system

Diagnosis of venous leakage

There are different methods used in the diagnosis of venous leakage to determine the degree of the disease and these tests include the following:

1. General examination: To check for other diseases such as diabetes, neurological diseases, or Peyronie’s disease.
2. Penile Doppler Ultrasound: It aims to examine the blood vessels of the penis and check the amount of blood passing through the tissues of the penis.
3. Penile pressure: It measures the pressure of blood flow in the penis during an erection.

Venous Leakage Treatment:

The Treatment of venous leakage is according to the degree of leakage occurring, as it is either by natural methods such as direct injection sessions, or reconstructive surgery.

1. Medication to treat venous leakage: The aim is to improve testosterone levels and treat erectile dysfunction, some effective examples of these medications are Viagra and Cialis.
2. Vacuum pump: These are plastic cylinders connected to a ring attached to the head of the penis through which blood is drawn.
3. Local penile injection: This injection helps the penis to get an erection naturally.
4. Lifestyle changes: Lifestyle changes can help treat or minimise leakage, such as Regular exercise, stopping smoking and drinking alcohol, and eating a healthy diet.
5. Surgery: In cases of severe leakage, surgery is used to implant stents in the penis to treat erectile dysfunction. There are two types of stent, either flexible or hydraulic, and this is one of the final solutions for treating venous leakage its success is guaranteed when all other treatment methods have failed

Erectile Dysfunction Treatment in Turkey:

PRP ( P-shot ):

Plasma is the fluid that is separated from blood and was discovered by the English scientist Charles Drew in 1930.

It is extracted by placing the blood in a centrifuge to separate its components and then taking the plasma, which is rich in platelets. New research has shown that fibrin-rich platelets are heavier and more useful than normal platelets, which are less expensive to extract, and better at healing tissues and supporting the immune system, but they are found in small quantities.

injection of PRP into the penis is a non-surgical enhancement process based on nourishing the cells that make up the fibers and nerve cells of the penis.

in addition to increasing the size of the penis diagonally and improving the sexual function of a man through the natural factors that a person has in his body by stimulating the multi-capacity cells Naturally thus improving blood flow to the penis leading to longer and more permanent erections.

Plasma is a promising and promising treatment and trials have proven its great effectiveness, but it still needs more trials to be approved by the FDA, but in general, plasma is completely safe because it is a component of the body, and plasma is drawn from the patient’s blood, so there is no fear of contamination or infectious diseases.

We conclude with a scientific review on the effect of plasma in the treatment of andrology conducted in 2019 entitled ‘Treatment of Andrology with Plasma Injections: Fact or Myth’. The study relied on peer-reviewed scientific references such as Cochrane and Pubmed and concluded that plasma has no side effects and is a promising treatment for andrology.it simply enhances your natural capabilities safely and effectively.

ShockWave Therapy:

The first thing you need to know is that the genital blood vessels are some of the smallest blood vessels in the male body. This is why high blood sugar, high cholesterol, blood pressure problems, and lifestyle choices (such as excessive alcohol consumption, unhealthy diet, and lack of exercise) first affect the veins in the genital area.

Because of this, studies have shown that these problems spread to other organs in the body, especially the heart vessels, within 5 years. Symptoms of erectile dysfunction or loss of firmness begin immediately. However, ESWT can reverse vascular insufficiency, nerve conduction defects, and skin aging in the genital area.

The most important feature of this treatment is that it not only eliminates erectile dysfunction in some cases but also rejuvenates the skin, blood vessels, and nervous system by ensuring the production of collagen and elastin in the genital area.

We don’t just use ESWT for sexual performance problems. We can treat a wide range of conditions including prostate infections, chronic sexual pain, and genital curvature.

For erectile dysfunction, approximately 4-10 sessions can be performed depending on the patient’s condition. The number of sessions depends entirely on the patient’s sexual condition and the number of sessions required.

Extracorporeal shock wave therapy has been used for the treatment of vascular erectile dysfunction since 2010. During treatment, low-intensity shock waves are applied to different areas of the penis.

This stimulates the creation of new blood vessels in the cavernous bodies and improves blood flow in the penis (and the ability to achieve an erection).

The simple and painless treatment is performed by our doctors and most of them are professors. and you can see improvement in your ability to achieve an ere*tion within a few weeks after taking the treatment.

Stem Cell Treatment:

It is a modern treatment based on the principle of cultivating completely new cells extracted from the patient’s fat sample taken from the abdominal area.

where the patient’s cells and growth factors help to regenerate sexual tissues and improve erection, performance, and penis size, the injection is placed by a fine needle in specific locations on the penis, and The procedure does not require general anesthesia, it only requires local anesthesia

This method is more effective than the traditional method of treatment, where the cells are injected into the penis to recover damaged vessels and tissues in the penis.

The advantages of stem cell therapy in the treatment of erectile dysfunction, which has become increasingly popular in recent years, are as follows

1. Stem cells are very safe and do not cause any allergic reaction in the body.
2. They provide effective and precise results in the treatment of erectile dysfunction.
3. It is a non-invasive technique, overcoming many of the side effects of surgery.
4. It does not require a long recovery period and gives fast results in treating erectile dysfunction.

The effects of the stem cell treatment can be seen within a few weeks of the injection and the symptoms of ED gradually improve, The final results of stem cell injections are achieved within 2-3 months after the injection.

In some cases, stem cell transplantation for ED may require one or more sessions, depending on the severity of the ED and the patient’s body’s need for this type of non-surgical treatment, but in most cases, only one stem cell session is required, while in other cases the session may need to be repeated after one or two years, depending on the results obtained by the patient.

Penile Implant:

Penile implant surgery is a minimally invasive procedure requiring only a one-night hospital stay and has been widely used for almost four decades to treat severe erectile dysfunction.

Worldwide statistics show high recovery and satisfaction rates for patients who have undergone penile implant surgery. 

A penile implant does not alter the characteristics of the penis itself in terms of appearance, sensation, and pleasure, as the surgery does not replace the natural tissue, but rather adds stiffness where necessary. 

Quite simply, two cylinders provide extreme rigidity. These erection aids are implanted inside the corpus cavernosum, so the penile implants are not noticeable after implantation as they are inside the corpus cavernosum covered by the skin of the penis. 

It is the last solution that we suggest in the Istanbul Clinic, it is an important treatment option for men who suffer from completely non-erectile dysfunction or severe weakness for a medical reason and have not responded to non-surgical treatments.

Penile implants are permanent and irreversible surgery, and the patient needs to talk to us about the benefits and potential complications of this procedure.

Penile Implants Types:

there are two main types of penile implant, The Malleable Penile implant, and the three pieces penile implant:

Malleable Penile implant:

It consists of two flexible metal cores, each covered with medical-grade silicone. The inner metal ensures extreme rigidity and is flexible so that the penis does not protrude forward, except in the case of sexual intercourse, and does not protrude downward until when sexual intercourse is done (there will be a control of when to point the penis down or to keep it up)

When a man wants to have intercourse, he uses his hand for only a matter of two seconds to place the rigid brace in an erect state upwards, to remain erect for any length of time, and with this brace, he can have intercourse as many times as he wants and ejaculate and perform all his functions, 100% as it is naturally.

Then, after intercourse, we can simply use the hand to bend the rigid brace down, up, or into any position, the patient is comfortable with so that he can get dressed without the appearance of a prominent erection as much as possible.

Inflatable Three pieces Penile Implant:

It is a cylindrical stent that is placed in the penis replacing the penile tissues by an andrologist and an urologist, and this implant is connected to a water pump in the scrotum that the patient presses when he needs an erection.

The 3 pieces penile implant consists of three parts that are implanted inside the human body and are completely hidden, sometimes even the woman cannot detect the presence of the implant because it is similar to a natural erection.

This inflatable penile implant is characterized by the occurrence of erections similar to natural erections and achieves a high patient satisfaction rate, the surgery could be done in around 30 minutes but we need you to stay in Istanbul for at least 4 nights.

There are two types of inflatable penile implants, one that increases in girth and the other in both girth and length.

The inflatable penile implant expands only in girth, consisting of two empty silicone cylinders connected to a pump filled with saline solution.

The inflatable penile increases both length and girth and is made up of the same parts, the difference here is that the two cylinders are able to expand in both length and width, which increases the size of the penis naturally with sexual practice using the penile implant, and this type is the latest and most common to patients to chose.

Whatever the type, this procedure has many advantages and from the previous presentation we can say that the three-piece penile implant is an extension and development of the malleable penile implant

What causes loss of sensation in the penis?

As men age, the skin of the organ becomes naturally less sensitive, as it occurs in the skin throughout the body. However, loss of sensation in the organ can be compounded by nerve damage, depression, and decreased cardiovascular health. Here are the most common causes of hypersensitivity:

1. Nerve damage from diabetes
2. physical trauma or injury
3. Nerve damage or decreased sensitivity due to surgery
4. Low testosterone and low desire
5. Depression and lack of excitement
6. Partial erection of damaged blood vessels

What is the main cause of weakness in men over the age of 50?

The most common cause of Erectile Dysfunction in men over the age of 50 is atherosclerosis. As men age, arterial linings become less elastic, meaning that they do not expand easily to allow more blood to flow when you need them for sexual intercourse.

Plaque can also accumulate in the arteries, which means that less blood can flow to the organ, which can lead to a decrease in this blood flow to the occurrence of heart attacks or strokes, Atherosclerosis is very common in men over the age of 50 and is responsible for nearly half of the ED cases in older men.

But what is important to worry about here is that the most common causes of Erectile Dysfunction are also some of the same risk factors for heart disease and that should never be left without a solution.
