Health / What's Really Causing Your Erectile Dysfunction? by Naneno: 11:00am On Dec 23, 2015
You Might Be surprise...

Even in this brave new post-Viagra world, erectile dysfunction is not exactly a frequent topic of conversation. However you may be surprised to learn that the inability to get or maintain an erection is actually very common among men of a certain age – affecting around half of 40 to 70-year-olds at some point.

And while you might be aware of some of the likely causes of this frustrating condition – sometimes still referred to as "impotence" - some of them might come as a surprise. The causes can be broadly divided into physical and psychological ones, though of course it's possible that more than one factor could be involved in an individual case.

Cardiovascular disease
Diseases of the heart and arteries are so strongly associated with erectile dysfunction that if you present to a GP with the condition they are likely to refer you for tests in case you are at risk of a heart attack or stroke.

Lifestyle changes are considered the most significant factor in preventing cardiovascular disease. And if you do have heart disease, the erectile dysfunction may not be top of your list of worries any more – but is likely to improve once the condition is treated.

High blood pressure
Having high blood pressure, or hypertension to give it its medical name, is a common cause of erectile dysfunction. The arteries leading to the penis can get damaged, leaving them unable to open to allow blood into the organ so that an erection can be obtained. These arteries can also become thicker or burst as a result of high blood pressure – causing more problems.

And in a cruel twist of fate, some medications for high blood pressure such as beta-blockers and thiazide diuretics have also been found to cause erectile dysfunction.
Doctors usually opt to treat the high blood pressure with medication and/or lifestyle changes in the first instance.

High cholesterol
High levels of cholesterol have been associated with a number of serious conditions, including heart attack and stroke. Erectile dysfunction is another side effect of having high levels of total cholesterol in the blood – and the treatment is usually the same as for high cholesterol in general. This means a combination of lifestyle changes and medication in the form of a class of drug known as statins.

Diabetes
It is estimated that up to 75 per cent of diabetes sufferers will experience erectile dysfunction over the course of their life – on average 10 or 15 years earlier than non-sufferers.

It is believed that damage to the nerves around the penis and poor blood flow to the organ can be caused by the condition – especially when poorly managed – but the causation is not fully understood. Better management of diabetes has been shown to have a positive effect on the condition.

Other physical causes
Neurogenic conditions such as Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis or those relating to spinal injuries can also cause erectile dysfunction – as can hormone problems such as an under or over-active thyroid gland or Cushing's syndrome.

Medication
Erectile dysfunction can be a side effect of a wide range of drugs including antipsychotics, antidepressants, diuretics, corticosteroids, antihistamines and anticonvulsants. Speak to your GP before stopping medication.

Psychological causes
A good test of whether your erectile dysfunction is rooted in physical or psychological causes is whether the problem only occurs when you are with a partner. If you are able to sustain an erection by yourself – or even wake up with one – then physical causes are less likely. Anxiety and depression are the two main mental health issues linked to erectile dysfunction – but stress linked to events in the individual's past can also play a part.

Treatment of erectile dysfunction alone
It's usual for the cause of the problem to be treated first, but there is also the option of being prescribed sildenafil (sold as Viagra) as a temporary fix. This is successful in more than two thirds of cases. The use of a vacuum pump to encourage blood flow to the penis is another treatment option – though perhaps a bit of a passion killer, it has been shown to work in around 90 per cent of cases.

Sports / Fifa: Sepp Blatter And Michel Platini Get Eight-year Bans by Naneno: 9:24pm On Dec 21, 2015
Fifa president Sepp Blatter and Uefa boss Michel Platini have been suspended for eight years from all football-related activities following an ethics investigation.
They were found guilty of breaches surrounding a £1.3m ($2m) "disloyal payment" made to Platini in 2011.
The Fifa ethics committee found Blatter and Platini had demonstrated an "abusive execution" of their positions.
"I will fight for me and for Fifa," Blatter, 79, said at a news conference.

Everything you need to know about the bans for Fifa president Sepp Blatter and Uefa boss Michel Platini
Platini said the decision was a "masquerade" intended to "dirty" his name.
Both men continue to deny wrongdoing and intend to appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas).
Swiss Blatter and 60-year-old Frenchman Platini have also been fined £33,700 ($50,000) and £54,000 ($80,000) respectively.
Despite the ban, both Blatter and Platini will be allowed to attend matches - including Euro 2016 in France - if they buy tickets in a private capacity.
Fifa boss since 1998, Blatter had already announced he was quitting with a presidential election in February.
Platini was tipped as a future leader of football's world governing body and is a three-time European Footballer of the Year.
He is also a former captain of France and has been in charge of Uefa - European football's governing body - since 2007.
Fifa ethics statement - key points

The payment made in February 2011 had "no legal basis" in the contract signed by both men when Platini started working for Blatter on 25 August, 1999.
Both men's explanation that there was an "oral agreement" over the payment was rejected as "not convincing".
Blatter's actions did not show "commitment to an ethical attitude", and both men were found to be in "a conflict of interest".
Platini also failed to act with "complete credibility and integrity" and showed "unawareness of the importance of his duties".
The committee said there was "not sufficient evidence" to establish the payment was a bribe, but both men demonstrated an "abusive execution" of their positions.
