Erectile
Dysfunction Clinic
This
is a Urology Nurse Specialist run service which
provides assessment, support and treatment to
men with Erectile Dysfunction. Treatment options
are discussed, preferably with the active involvement
of the partner.
Referrals
are taken directly from GPs and also from other
hospital departments, the Community Diabetic Nurse
Specialist and the Psychosexual Counselling Service.
The
aims of the clinic are:
- To
re-establish patient and partner satisfaction
with sexual activity and function
- To
provide ongoing support to the patient, whether
treated or not, and to promote health education,
information and training
- To
recognise and refer those patients who require
further investigation or specialist management,
either by a Urologist or by the Psychosexual
Counselling Service.

According to a recent report, erectile dysfunction (ED) affects nearly half of the men in the UK between the age of 40 and 70. While stress and depression can cause this condition, more than eighty per cent of cases are due to some physical cause. If you have somehow missed the ubiquitous ads on the TV, erectile dysfunction is a chronic condition that consistently prevents men from achieving a sufficient erection.
Of course, most men do experience episodes of impotence from time to time, but when the problem continues for weeks or months on end, it is likely that the patient is suffering from erectile dysfunction. What are the most common causes?
The most common cause of ED is reduced blood flow to the penis . Just as in other parts of the body, there are major arteries and blood vessels that deliver blood to the male organ, which naturally increases when he becomes excited or sexually aroused. But if these arteries have narrowed or have been otherwise affected, the man will not be able to rise to the occasion. Cialis Tadalafil bought online on a private prescription or obtained following a consultation with your GP is a type of medication classed as being a vasolidator. Vasolidators relax the blood vessels to improve blood flow.
What prevents natural blood flow to the penis? Well, sometimes it is inevitable. What we mean is that often a man will experience bouts of impotence with increased frequency as he grows older. However, there are a few related conditions and behaviours that are known to increase the risks of erectile dysfunction. The most common ones are high blood pressure, cholesterol and diabetes.
We also know that certain behaviours or addictions may affect your performance in the bedroom. The two most obvious ones are alcohol abuse and smoking. Since both behaviours increase cholesterol and tend to harden the arteries, they may also affect the arteries down there.
