HOW YOU CAN TELL IF YOU HAVE BREAST CANCER, AND PREVENT IT FROM KILLING YOU

MY BREASTS AND MY KILLERS ------[BREAST CANCER]


She was such a young and pretty lady of 24years of age.
I tell you the truth she was really well endowed especially at the chest level.
She walked up to me at the clinic and requested to consult with me.I took her into my office and tried to find out what was wrong with her.She told me that her breasts were the problem. I was astonished. ‘’What do you mean?’’. She informed me that some few years back she noticed a lump or hardness in one of her breast, but was too shy to tell anyone, not even her parents, but instead of the hardness going soft, it increased in size and number, affecting the second breast, then became really painful.
Because she was still embarrassed to show them to anyone, she kept quiet hoping the problem will go away as they came. The embarrassment was so much that she could not keep a boyfriend.
The situation got worse, until recently when she started noticing brownish bloody discharge from her nipples that she really got scared. ‘’Lucky me’’, she decided to talk to me.I did an ultrasound of her breasts and found so many masses in them, which were latter comfirmed to be cancerous.
An xray of her chest was done , we found out that the cancer has eaten into her lungs and her backbones.It was a sorry state, it was too late. This young pretty lady have just a short time to live, because the cancer have spread extensively.
After some months she died. What a tragic end?
This is the situation with many young girls to mature ladies in Nigeria, we have a social stigma problem that make it difficult for us to complain early and save lives. If that young lady had complained many years ago when she noticed the first lump, she would have lived. In this article I am going to really write long , because this is a very serious issue, it is killing our sisters, wives, mothers and grandmothers. I am very concerned because that young lady is not the only one I knew that died of breast cancer. I want this to stop, so I must sound a serious warning to you ladies that read this blog
‘’BREAST CANCER KILLS. TAKE YOUR BREAST SERIOUS’’
In this article we are going to look at the causes, symptoms, screening tests, diagnosis, treatments and your own participation.

DEFINITION

Breast cancer is a cancer that starts in the breast, usually in the inner lining of the milk ducts or lobules.Breast cancer is the most common causes of cancer in women and the second most common cause of cancer death of women in Nigeria. Breast cancer can affect ladies of all ages that have developed breasts.I know that when we talk of breast , it is as if only women are affected. The truth is that men do also have breast cancer.However breast cancer is about 100 times more frequent among women as among men.


SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS

The first symptom or subjective sign of breast cancer is typically a lump that feels different from the surrounding breast tissues. More than 80% of breast cancer cases are discovered when the woman feels a lump.The first medical sign or objective indication of breast cancer as detected by a physician is discovered by mammography [xray] and sonomammography [ultrasound of the breasts].Lumps found in lymph nodes located in the armpits can also indicate breast cancer. Indications of breast cancer other than a lump may include changes in breast size and shape, skin dimpling, nipple inversion, or spontaneous single-nipple discharge. Pain is an unreliable tool in determining the presence or absence of breast cancer , but may be indicative of other breast health symptoms


SYMPTOMS

[1] Lumps in breasts
[2] Increase in breast size
[3] Change in breast shape
[4] Skin dimpling of the breast
[5] Nipple inversion
[6] Spontaneous single-nipple discharge
[7] Pain
[8] Skin inflammation which includes pain, swelling, warmth, redness as well as an orange-peel texture of the skin.
[9] Tingling, itching, increased sensitivity and burning Most symptoms of breast disorder do not turn out to represent underlying breast cancer. Benign breast diseases such as mastitis and fibroadenoma of the breast are more common causes of breast disorders.

CAUSES

No one knows the exact causes of breast cancer. Doctors often cannot explain why one woman develops breast cancer and another does not. They do know that bumping, bruising, or touching the breast does not cause cancer. And breast cancer is not contagious. You cannot "catch" it from another person.Research has shown that women with certain risk factors are more likely than others to develop breast cancer. A risk factor is something that may increase the chance of developing a disease.Studies have found the following risk factors for breast cancer:

Age: The chance of getting breast cancer goes up as a woman gets older. Most cases of breast cancer occur in women over 60. This disease is not common before menopause.
Personal history of breast cancer: A woman who had breast cancer in one breast has an increased risk of getting cancer in her other breast.

Family history: A woman's risk of breast cancer is higher if her mother, sister, or daughter had breast cancer. The risk is higher if her family member got breast cancer before age 40. Having other relatives with breast cancer (in either her mother's or father's family) may also increase a woman's risk.

Certain breast changes: Some women have cells in the breast that look abnormal under a microscope. Having certain types of abnormal cells (atypical hyperplasia and lobular carcinoma in situ [LCIS]) increases the risk of breast cancer.

Gene changes: Changes in certain genes increase the risk of breast cancer. These genes include BRCA1, BRCA2, and others. Tests can sometimes show the presence of specific gene changes in families with many women who have had breast cancer. Health care providers may suggest ways to try to reduce the risk of breast cancer, or to improve the detection of this disease in women who have these changes in their genes.

Reproductive and menstrual history:
The older a woman is when she has her first child, the greater her chance of breast cancer.
Women who had their first menstrual period before age 12 are at an increased risk of breast cancer.
Women who went through menopause after age 55 are at an increased risk of breast cancer.
Women who never had children are at an increased risk of breast cancer.
Women who take menopausal hormone therapy with estrogen plus progestin after menopause also appear to have an increased risk of breast cancer.
Large, well-designed studies have shown no link between abortion or miscarriage and breast cancer.

Race: Breast cancer is diagnosed more often in white women than Latina, Asian, or African American women.

Radiation therapy to the chest: Women who had radiation therapy to the chest (including breasts) before age 30 are at an increased risk of breast cancer. This includes women treated with radiation for Hodgkin's lymphoma. Studies show that the younger a woman was when she received radiation treatment, the higher her risk of breast cancer later in life.

Breast density: Breast tissue may be dense or fatty. Older women whose mammograms (breast x-rays) show more dense tissue are at increased risk of breast cancer.
Taking DES (diethylstilbestrol): DES was given to some pregnant women in the United States between about 1940 and 1971. (It is no longer given to pregnant women.) Women who took DES during pregnancy may have a slightly increased risk of breast cancer. The possible effects on their daughters are under study.

Being overweight or obese after menopause: The chance of getting breast cancer after menopause is higher in women who are overweight or obese.
Lack of physical activity: Women who are physically inactive throughout life may have an increased risk of breast cancer. Being active may help reduce risk by preventing weight gain and obesity .

Drinking alcohol: Studies suggest that the more alcohol a woman drinks, the greater her risk of breast cancer.Other possible risk factors are under study.

15 CAUSES OF MENSTRUATION PAINS, AND HOW TO STOP IT FROM DESTROYING YOUR LIFE

MENSTRUATION PAINS THAT CAN KILL?
[ACUTE AND CHRONIC PELVIC PAINS]

I came to the office one morning to meet our female receptionist weeping on her desk with her hand guarding her pelvic region, before I could ask her any question, she had shouted out loud in pains and ran towards the toilet, she didn’t make it to the toilet before she threw up, then started crying and continue guarding her lower abdomen.
As a medical personnel, many things ran through my mind, like ruptured appendicitis or ectopic pregnancy, then I myself almost panicked when those life threatening thoughts crossed my mind, because that is serious thoughts, I persuaded her to take some pain killers and quickly go to a physician, she went , and after some days was relieved, but the next month the same thing happened and so on.

In this article we are not going to look at menstruation pains alone, but all forms of acute and chronic pelvic pains, the types, causes, diagnostic tests and treatment options.

Many women have pain in their pelvic region at some point in their lives. Finding the cause of pelvic pain can be a long process, often there is more than one reason for the pain and its exact source can be hard to detect.
Pelvic pain is a common symptom in women of all ages, in some cases no specific cause canbe found, but being reassured that there is no serious underlying problem can be helpful.
Pelvic pain can be described as acute or chronic .
Acute pain relates to pain that is of recent onset and maybe severe . In young women there are many possible causes for this.
Long standing or chronic pelvic pain may have different causative factors to acute pain, although there may be some degree of overlap.

TYPES OF PELVIC PAIN
Pelvic pain can vary in how it is felt, and when it occurs. It can come and go for brief times or it can be constant. Sometimes pelvic pain can reoccur on a regular cycle or schedule, it also may occur only at certain times, before or after eating, while you urinate, during sex or during menstrual period.
Some women feel pain almost everyday. This may mean that a problem has gotten worse. Overtime it may become more deficult to cope with the pain. When this occurs, a woman may feel pain, at some times more than others, even though the problem has not gotten worse.
Pelvic pain can disrupt a woman’s work, movements, sexual relations, sleeps, or family duties. Not knowing what the cause of the pain can make it even more stressful when pain has been present for a long time, it can affect a woman’s mental and physical health.
Pelvic pain that lasts for more than 6 months and does not improve with treatment is called chronic pelvic pain.
The type and nature of pelvic pain, whether it comes and goes or is constant, is sharp or dull, is in one place or a broad area, this will help your physician detect the cause of the problem

TYPES OF PAIN AND POSSIBLE CAUSE
[a] Localised Pain --- Maybe due to an inflammation.
[b] Colicky Pain --- May be caused by spasm in a soft organ, such as the intestine, ureter or appendix.
[c] Sudden Onset Of Pain --- May be caused by a temporary deficiency of blood supply due to an obstruction in the circulation of blood.
[d] Slowly Developing Pain --- May be due to inflammation of the appendix or an intestinal obstruction.
[e] Pain Involving The Entire Abdomen --- May suggest an accumulation of blood , pus, or intestinal contents.
[f] Pain Aggravated By Movement Or During Examination --- May be as a result of irritation in the lining of the abdominal cavity.



CAUSES OF PAIN
[1] Adhesions [Scar tissues] from previous healing after pelvic infections or pelvic surgeries, eg Ceasarian sections, appendicitis, etc
[2] Pelvic Inflammatory Disease [PID]
[3] Ovarian cysts [Twisted or Ruptured]
[4] Ectopic Pregnancy
[5] Urinary Tract Infection
[6] Appendicitis
[7] Dysmenorrhoea --- is a medical condition characterized by severe uterine pain during menstruation.

13 CAUSES OF HEAVY MENSTRUATION AND HOW YOU CAN STOP IT FROM KILLING YOU

THAT HEAVY MENSTRUATION CAN KILL ANY WOMAN ‘’MENORRHAGIA’’



In 1994 there is a woman I knew , she is a mother of 2 children, she has being having the problem of heavy menstrual periods for years, like many other women in Nigeria.
This particular month, the menstrual period came and refuse to stop, she bled heavily for days and fainted [she almost died, many other women have died from excessive bleeding], her husband and neighbours had to quickly rush her to the nearest hospital, the doctor did all he could to stop the bleeding and revive the woman, all failed , the last resort was to remove the entire womb [hysterectomy] so as to save the woman’s life.
The entire womb was removed and the woman survived till this day, but she could no more have any other child.

In this article we are going to talk about menorrhagia, what causes it, the diagnosis/tests to check out for it, and treatments.

===> ==> CLICK THIS LINK TO GET FREE ACCESS TO DOWNLOAD THE SECRET FERTILITY SYSTEM


DEFINITION/COMPLICATIONS

Menorrhagia is an abnormal heavy and prolonged menstrual period at regular intervals.
Only females are affected by menorrhagia
At some time in your reproductive life, you have probably experienced heavy bleeding during your menstrual period [some times with blood clots]. If you are like some women, every period you have causes enough blood loss and cramping that you can not maintain your usual daily activities.
The medical term for periods like these---heavy excessive or prolonged is MENORRHAGIA.
Aside from the social distress of dealing with a prolonged and heavy period, overtime the blood loss may prove to be greater than the body iron reserves or the rate of blood replenishment, leading to ANEMIA.
Symptoms attributable to anemia may include shortness of breath, tiredness, weakness, tingling and numbness in fingers and toes, headaches, depression, becoming cold more easily and poor concentration.


CAUSES

There are several possible cause of menorrhagia , including the following
[1] Hormonal imbalance [particularly estrogen and progesterone], especially seen in adolescents [young girls] who are experiencing their menstrual period for the first time and in womaen approaching menopause.
[2] Pelvic inflammatory disease [PID]
[3] Uterine fibroids
[4] Abnormal pregnancy [like miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy]
[5] Infection, tumours, or polyps in te uterine cavity.
[6] Certain birth control devices [like intrauterine devices or IUCDs]
[7] Bleeding or platelet disorders
[8] High levels of prostaglandins [chemical substances wich help to control muscle contractions of the uterus]
[9] High levels of endothelins [chemical substances which help the blood vessels in the body dilate]
[10] Liver, kidney, thyroid disease or diabetic
[11] Polycystic ovarian syndrome
[12] Fat/obesity
[13] Cancer of the womb, ovaries or cervix
[14] Inherited bleeding disorder

SYMPTOMS

[1] Menstrual flow that soaks through one or more sanitary pads or tampons every hour for several consecutive hours.
[2] The need to use double sanitary protection to control your menstrual flow
[3] The need to change sanitary protection during the night
[4] Menstrual flow that includes large blood clots

HOW TO STOP FIBROIDS FROM DESTROYING YOU, EVEN AT YOUR MATURE AGE

THE SCOURGE OF FIBROIDS


Hi all,
This is Victor, I am a Consultant Clinical Specialist Sonographer, with over 15 years post qualification experiences, I have worked as a sonographer in Nigeria for over 14 years, I lived and worked in The Republic of Ireland [Europe] as a Specialist Sonographer
I have decided to start writing into my blogs to communicate with my entire community.

UTERINE FIBROIDS


Fibroids are common, benign growths of womb (uterine) muscle. They are present in around 1/4-5 of white women and 1/2 black women. They are most common toward the end of the reproductive years. They exist sometimes singly, but most often are multiple and range in size from microscopic to filling the whole of the lower abdomen! They are more common in obese women and those who have no children, there probably is some genetic determinant and they are less common in smokers.

Most fibroids do not cause symptoms, but overall symptomatic fibroids account for about one third of all hysterectomy operations.

 
Fibroids are named according to where they are found in your womb.


Intramural fibroids grow within the muscular wall of the womb.

Subserous fibroids grow from the outside wall of the womb into the pelvic cavity. They can become very large.

Submucous fibroids grow from the inner wall of the womb into the space inside the womb.

Pedunculated fibroids grow from the outside of your womb. These fibroids are almost free of the wall of your womb and are only attached by a narrow stalk.

Fibroids range from the size of a pinhead to up to 20cm across.

Fibroid growth is very slow and can be stimulated by hormones, especially oestrogen. A hormone is a chemical found naturally in your body. Fibroids tend to become smaller and reduce in number when oestrogen levels fall, such as after the menopause.

===> ==> CLICK THIS LINK TO GET FREE ACCESS TO DOWNLOAD THE SECRET FERTILITY SYSTEM


CAUSES


The reason why women get fibroids isn't known. Although oestrogen seems to make the fibroids grow, it's not thought to be responsible for their initial development.

You are more likely to get fibroids if you:

[1]are in your 30s or 40s
[2]are overweight
[3]are African-Caribbean - African-Caribbean women are three times more likely than white women to get fibroids
[4]have no children or had your last child at a young age
[5]have a family history of fibroids


SYMPTOMS

Symptoms relate to the location of the fibroids and its size. Important symptoms include abnormal gynaecologic haemorrhage[bleeding], heavy or/and painful periods, abdominal discomfort or bloating, back ache, urinary frequency or retention, and in some cases infertility. There may also be pain during intercourse depending on the location of the fibroids.
During pregnancy they maybe the cause of miscarriage, bleeding, premature labour, or interference with the position of the fetus.
Fibroids don't usually cause symptoms. However, you may get one or more of the symptoms listed below, often depending on where the fibroid is within your womb.


Heavy periods, sometimes leading to anaemia, can occur in up to a third of all women with fibroids.

Large fibroids can lead you to feeling some pain in your tummy (abdomen).

If the fibroid(s) is pressing on your bladder, you may need to pass urine more often than normal.

If the fibroid(s) is pressing on your rectum, it can cause constipation.

You can get severe pain if a fibroid growing on a stalk twists or if a fibroid outgrows its blood supply causing it to break down, but this is rare.


===> ==> CLICK THIS LINK TO GET FREE ACCESS TO DOWNLOAD THE SECRET FERTILITY SYSTEM


DIAGNOSIS

Fibroids are often diagnosed and discovered on pelvic examination, where the uterus feels larger than expected with hard round lumps felt arising from the surface. Ultrasound scan can tell where the fibroids are located and give an idea of their size. Sometimes they are detected on laparoscopy (looking into the abdomen with a small telescope) or hysteroscopy (looking into the uterus with a fine telescope). Hysteroscopy is particularly useful for seeing the submucous fibroids and assessing how much of the uterine cavity is involved.

COMPLICATIONS


FIBROIDS AND PREGNANCY

Most women with fibroids have a normal pregnancy and delivery. In around two-thirds of women, the fibroids stay at a constant size or shrink.

Submucosal fibroids can affect the shape and internal environment of the womb, which can make it more difficult to become pregnant.

Problems such as miscarriage, premature labour and bleeding can happen, but they are rare.

If you are pregnant and have fibroids, you should consider seeking specialist pregnancy care from an obstetrician (a doctor specialising in pregnancy and childbirth).
FIBROIDS AND CANCER

Fibroids very rarely become cancerous.


TREATMENT


If you don't have any symptoms, or if they are only mild, you don't need treatment.

If you are getting symptoms, there is a range of treatments available. Your doctor will explain which is most suitable for you.

[1] Medicines

There is no medicine that cures fibroids. However, hormone-based treatments can help relieve the symptoms.

Treatment with gonadotrophin releasing hormone analogues (GnRH analogues) can lower your oestrogen level. This usually shrinks the fibroids. GnRH analogues such as goserelin (eg Zoladex) or leuprolin acetate (eg Prostap SR) are often prescribed for three to four months before surgery (see Surgery) to make it easier to remove fibroids.

GnRH analogues can cause side-effects such as hot flushes and, long-term, osteoporosis (thinning of the bones). Therefore, you can only take GnRH analogues for a maximum of six months. Taking progestogen hormone replacement therapy or tibolone (Livial) at the same time reduces the chances that you will get side-effects.

[2]Non-surgical treatments

[a]Uterine artery embolisation (UAE)

This treatment blocks the blood supply to a fibroid, causing it to shrink. It's performed under a local anaesthetic, meaning that the feeling in the area will be completely blocked but you will stay awake during the operation.

UAE gives relief from symptoms such as bleeding and pain for at least two-thirds of women treated. Side-effects and complications with UAE are lower than with open surgery.

The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) states that UAE is a relatively new treatment with uncertain long-term results. If you are considering UAE, please talk to your gynaecologist (a doctor specialising in identifying and treating conditions of the female organs).

[b] Endometrial ablation
An endometrial ablation is a procedure to remove the lining of your womb or an individual fibroid using laser energy or ultrasound. You can still get pregnant after an endometrial ablation.

[c] Magnetic Resonance Guided Focused Ultrasound [HIFU]

Surgery

There are a number of surgical options including those outlined below.

A myomectomy is an operation to remove fibroids leaving the womb in place. It may be done through cuts in the tummy or through your vagina using keyhole surgery. A myomectomy is usually only offered to women who prefer the option to become pregnant in the future.

A hysterectomy is a major operation to remove the entire womb, usually via a "bikini-line" cut in the tummy or, if the fibroids are not too large, via the vagina. It's not possible to get pregnant after a hysterectomy.

Sometimes it's possible for these operations to be performed by keyhole surgery.

21 WAYS TO CHECK IF YOU HAVE POOR PENIS ERECTION AND HOW YOU CAN OVERCOME IT

MALE IMPOTENCE AND ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION

For many years I have always thought that male impotence or erectile dysfunction [ED] affects only old men, who have already enjoyed their youthful sex life and now there is need for retirement, just like menopause in older women.
I never thought men as young as 30 years or even younger could also suffer from ED.In our clinic , we have had to attend to so many men recently complaining of ED, this is worrying, but not as worrying as this young man’s case.
He came into my office, sat in front of me, and only asked for my patience for him to narrate his ordeal. Truely to his request, I had to make a great effort to sit still for one hour to listen to his long sorrowful story.
I will abbreviate, he told me that he had always enjoyed his sex life from his college days, until he contracted venereal disease. After the successful treatment, he noticed that he does not always keep a strong erection, after some years he could not even keep an erection at all. He went to different hospitals , both orthodox and unorthodox, to seek help, but to no avail.
In fear of not embarrassing himself, he tried to avoid marriage, but as an African , if he is not married, tongues will start wagging. So he took this young beautiful lady to the alter, and got married.
Unfortunately, he could not even get his weak penis into his young pretty wife’s inviting vagina. After one year of tolerating him and the sexless marriage, the young lady ran away.

Sexual impotence is perhaps the most poorly understood and mismanaged of all medical disorders.

Two factors are responsible for this unfortunate state of affairs.

1. Ignorance, myths, superstition, guilt and the stigma and taboo attached to anything sexual in the minds of the people.

2. Abysmal sexual ignorance : on account of which people continue to believe that impotence is something that is largely psychological in origin.

These two factors explain why most cases of impotence do not come to light and why the few that do are grossly mismanaged. It is not surprising, therefore, that the general impression is that impotence is something largely incurable.This is unfortunate because not only are most cases of impotence NOT psychological in origin but most are EMINENTLY CURABLE as well.

WHAT IS ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION?

Erectile dysfunction (ED) means that you cannot get and/or maintain an erection. In some cases the penis becomes partly erect, but not hard enough to have sex properly. In some cases, there is no swelling or fullness of the penis at all. ED is sometimes called impotence.

HOW COMMON IS ERECTLE DYSFUNCTION?

Most men have odd times when they cannot get an erection. For example, you may not get an erection so easily if you are tired, stressed, distracted, or have drunk too much alcohol. For most men it is only temporary, and an erection occurs most times when you are sexually aroused.
However, some men have persistent, or recurring, ED. It can occur at any age, but becomes more common with increasing age. About half of men between the age of 40 and 70 have ED. About 7 in 10 men aged 70 and above have ED.Contrary to popular belief, impotence is almost never an 'all or none' phenomenon. Most laymen (and several doctors) believe that a man can either have an erection of very good quality or none at all. Nothing can be farther from the truth. Most men with erectile dysfunction have normal desire and can obtain an erection, only the erection is not hard enough or doesn't last long enough, Hence the term erectile dysfunction (which suggests partial loss) is preferred to impotence (which suggests a total loss). Not many are aware that in most cases organic rather than psychological causes are responsible.


WHAT IS AN ERECTION?

A man gets an erection when the penis enlarges and stiffens.It is a complex process that happens as a result of changes within the muscles, nerves and blood vessels of the penis.The regulation of blood flow into and out of the penis is what makes an erection possible.

1. Specialised tissues in the shaft of the penis trap blood. This increases the pressure within the penis and causes it to lengthen and then become firm.

2. Following orgasm or the withdrawal of sexual stimulation, the process is reversed. Blood flows out of the penis and back into your circulation so the penis becomes soft.

THE ANATOMY OF THE PENIS

Each corpus cavernosum runs from the base of the glans along the length of the penis.Cross-section of the penis showing the position of the corpora cavernosa.Corpora cavernosa: two cylindrical tissues run the length of either side of the penis. Like sponges, they are capable of filling with blood. When the penis is soft, the muscle fibres in the corpora are contracted.Tunica: a tough outer sheath that surrounds the corpora and limits the amount they can expand. As the tunica becomes tight, blood flowing into the penis raises the pressure within it, making it hard.Corpus spongeosum: a third cylinder of tissue between the two corpora. This contains the urethra, through which urine and semen pass out of the body. It thickens towards the tip of the penis to form the helmet-shaped glans, which is covered by foreskin in uncircumcised men.


HOW AN ERECTION HAPPENS

1. Touch, sights, sounds, erotic memories, fantasies etc, cause sexual excitement.

2. These stimuli increase signal output from a part of the brain called the para-ventricular nucleus.

3. These signals then pass through special autonomic nerves in the spinal cord, the pelvic nerves and the cavernous nerves that run along the prostate gland to reach the corpora cavernosa and the arteries that supply them with blood.

4. In response to these signals, the muscle fibres in the corpora relax, allowing blood to fill the spaces between them.

5. Muscle fibres in the arteries that supply the penis also relax, and there is an eight-fold increase in blood flow to the penis. The increased blood flow expands the corpora, then stretches the surrounding sheath (the tunica).

6. As the tunica stretches, it blocks off the veins that take blood away from the corpora cavernosa. This traps blood within the penis, the pressure becomes very high and the penis becomes erect.

7. During an erection pressure in the penis is at least twice the pressure of blood in the main circulation. This is possible because the muscles of the pelvic floor contract around the base of the corpora cavernosa.

8. At orgasm, the signalling from the brain changes dramatically. There is a sudden increase in noradrenaline production from nerves in the genitalia. This seems to both trigger orgasm and contract the muscle fibres in the corpora cavernosa and their supplying arteries.

9. The pressure within the corpora drops, which also relaxes the tunica and so allows blood to flow out of the penis. The inability to get or sustain an erection can happen as a result of one or more of these processes breaking down. Fortunately, there are treatments available for erectile dysfunction.

CAUSES OF ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION

There are several causes which tend to be grouped into 'physical' and 'psychological'.

PHYSICAL CAUSES
About 8 in 10 cases of ED are due to a physical cause. If the ED is due to a physical cause, you are likely to still have a normal sex drive (libido). Causes include:

[1] Reduced blood flow to the penis. Like in other parts of the body, the arteries which take blood to the penis can become narrowed. The blood flow may then not be enough to cause an erection. 'Risk factors' can increase your chance of 'narrowing of the arteries'. These include: getting older; high blood pressure; high cholesterol; smoking; diabetes.

[2] Diseases which affect the nerves going to the penis. For example, multiple sclerosis, a stroke, etc.

[3] Diabetes. This is one of the commonest causes of ED. Diabetes can affect blood vessels and nerves.

[4] Injury to the nerves going to the penis. For example, spinal injury, following surgery to nearby structures, fractured pelvis, radiotherapy to the genital area, etc.

[5] Side-effect of certain medicines. The most common are: some antidepressants; betablockers such as propranolol, atenolol etc; some diuretics ('water tablets'); cimetidine. Many other less commonly used tablets sometimes cause ED.

[6] Alcohol and drug abuse.

[7] Cycling. ED after long distance cycling is thought to be common. It is probably due to pressure on the nerves going to the penis from sitting on the saddle for long periods. This may affect the function of the nerve after the ride.

[8] Hormone causes . For example, a lack of a hormone called testosterone which is made in the testes.
