  • Seek medical advice: If you experience persistent or worsening ED symptoms, consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and treatment options tailored to your needs.

How Erection Works:

  1. Brain Stimulation: Sexual arousal begins in the brain when you’re exposed to erotic stimuli or thoughts. This triggers the release of chemicals that signal the blood vessels in the penis to relax and dilate.
  2. Blood Flow: As the blood vessels in the penis widen, blood flow to the erectile tissue increases rapidly. This influx of blood causes the penis to become engorged and erect.
  3. Trapped Blood: Specialized tissues in the penis, called corpora cavernosa, fill with blood and expand, trapping the blood inside. This results in an erection, which is maintained as long as the blood remains trapped.
  4. Nerve Signals: Nerve signals from the brain and spinal cord play a crucial role in maintaining the erection by keeping the blood vessels open and the erectile tissue engorged.
  5. Hormonal Balance: Hormones such as testosterone also play a role in regulating sexual function and desire. Imbalances in hormone levels can affect erectile function.
  6. Psychological Factors: Emotional and psychological factors, such as stress, anxiety, or depression, can influence the ability to achieve or maintain an erection by affecting the brain’s response to sexual stimuli.
