Erectile Dysfunction and Your Heart

There are many factors that can cause Erectile Dysfunction. Erectile Dysfunction is a form of male impotence, which makes it difficult for a man to maintain an erection for a period long enough to perform the sexual act. It can be brought on due to psychological aspects, drugs, diabetes, anatomical problems, and a plethora of other causes.

One aspect, that is important in creating and maintaining an erection, is the cardio-vascular system. This is the heart and the arteries and veins in the body. The heart pumps blood through the arteries and veins and is responsible for keeping the pressure of this blood at levels that are important to the body.

The most important mechanical process of creating and maintaining an erection is the cardio-vascular system. When a man is aroused, the arteries to the penis open up and allow more blood to flow into it. At the same time, the valves in the veins close off to keep this blood (and blood pressure) in the penis. As the man continues to be aroused, the cardio-vascular system keeps pumping blood into the penis and an erection is produced. This continual pressure of blood (pumped from the heart), helps maintain this erection. This how an erection is produced and controlled.

If the cardio-vascular system is weak, there is a chance that this might have an ill-effect on creating and maintaining an erection; especially if there are some restrictions in the vasculature to the penis.

By exercising more, especially cardio-vasuclar-type exercises, such as running or jogging, this can help strengthen the cardio-vascular system and help increase and sustain the pressure required to create and maintain an erection.

If you do suffer from Erectile Dysfunction, it is very important to visit your doctor to find out the underlying cause of this situation. But it is not uncommon for a man to become more physically active to help alleviate the affects of Erectile Dysfunction.
