Do you suffer from erectile dysfunction? You are not alone. “Unfortunately, it is a very common condition, especially in older men, although it affects men of all ages and is becoming increasingly common among younger men,” he says. Catarina Lucas, clinical psychologist and family therapist, in an interview with Correio da Manhã.
Erectile dysfunction is, the specialist explains, a persistent inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual intercourse.
Some studies suggest that erectile dysfunction may affect about 5% of men under the age of 40, about 10% in the age group over 40, and more than 50% of men over 70. However, the reluctance of the male population to seek medical help may blind us to the true extent of the dysfunction. After all, this condition is still a taboo among many men.
Thanks to Eroxon®, first over-the-counter treatment for erectile dysfunction in Portugal, you can discreetly treat the problem. This is a revolutionary medical device in gel format that does not require a prescription. It is clinically proven to help men achieve an erection in just 10 minutes.
What are the causes of erectile dysfunction?
According to Katarina Lucas: “The causes of erectile dysfunction can be physical, psychological, or both. physical reasons These are more common in men over 50 and may include cardiovascular disease, hormonal disorders, diabetes, pelvic surgery or side effects of drug therapy.”
Adding: “Psychological causes are more common in younger men, usually under 40 years of age. Anxiety is a very common cause of erectile dysfunction., as well as emotional or relationship problems with a partner. A depressionYou sexual trauma And unrealistic expectations may also be associated with the occurrence of dysfunction.”
In addition, lifestyle factors can also lead to the development of erectile dysfunction, such as smoking, drinking alcohol, sedentary lifestyle and others.
What is Erokson® gel?
Eroxon® is a treatment unlike anything you can find on the market. We’re talking about the first over-the-counter topical treatment for erectile dysfunction. “It was a real success in countries like the UK and Belgium and now it available in pharmacies, parapharmacies and medical institutions Portuguese,” says Ricardo Bento, responsible for launching Eroxon gel® in Portugal.
Its safety has been proven in several clinical studies. It consists of ingredients commonly used in pharmaceutical products and has a very low incidence of side effects in men and their partners. At the same time, it does not interact with medications and alcoholic beverages.
How it works?
According to Ricardo Bento, in healthy men, sexual arousal activates the release of nitric oxide, which causes blood to flow to the penis and achieve an erection. Now Erokson® is applied locally to the penis, causing rapid cooling followed by gradual heating. The stimulation of nerve endings caused by cooling leads to the release of neurotransmitters and an increase in nitric oxide levels in the blood.
“It is for this reason that it is a safe option for use by men who, due to health problems or the possibility of interactions with other medications, are unable to use medications traditionally used to treat erectile dysfunction,” explains the specialist.
How does this apply?
It’s simple, Ricardo Bento, responsible for starting treatment in Portugal explains: the gel is applied directly to the head – or head – of the penis. Immediately before sexual intercourse, the contents of one tube (each package contains four tubes) should be applied to the head of the penis and massaged for approximately 15 seconds.
This means that it can easily be incorporated into foreplay and include a partner, thus avoiding some of the psychological barriers associated with oral treatment for erectile dysfunction.
Erokson® Can all men suffering from erectile dysfunction use it?
Yes, Eroxone® is a medical device for the treatment of erectile dysfunction in men over 18 years of age. Patients with heart problems should consult their doctor. It is important to note that Eroxone® only works if the man is sexually aroused.
In addition, the gel can and should be used by a couple during foreplay.
“With practice using the product – after 3 or 4 uses – results may improve. It’s important to consider that while erectile dysfunction increases with age, its prevalence among younger men (aged 40 and younger) is increasing due to factors such as performance anxiety, stress, and excessive pornography consumption. More than 3 out of 4 men at some point in their lives they will have erection problems,” says Ricardo Bento.
There is an urgent need to end the taboo
There’s no reason to be ashamed. As a result of preconceived notions, there is still a lot of pressure on men to perform, pressure that men take into account and increase, warns a family therapist.
“When performance does not meet expectations, feelings of insecurity, devaluation and inferiority arise, which increase anxiety symptoms and, as a result, worsen the problem. Likewise, this problem can affect a partner in the sense that he often takes responsibility for what happened, blaming himself for the man’s lack of sexual response,” explains Katarina Lucas.
However, regardless of the reason, erectile dysfunction is treatable and ways to minimize its impact. It is important to continue to raise awareness and explain that there is no reason to be ashamed.
Eroxone®: how does it differ from other treatment methods?
“In Portugal, Eroxon® is the first over-the-counter drug for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. So here we have an important differentiating factor. Without requiring a prescription, it removes some of the psychological barriers that come with erectile dysfunction,” he shares. Ricardo Benedict.
This treatment comes at a time when it is estimated that around 500 thousand men (13%) suffer from this problem in Portugal, and studies show that only 1 in 6 seek treatment, and of these, 50% of men end up giving up treatment. This innovative medical device could help change those numbers because, in addition to not requiring a prescription, it can easily be incorporated into foreplay and include a partner.
Available in pharmacies, parapharmacies and many medical institutions together with Eroxon®. 10 minutes is enough to return to full sexuality. Happiness is in your hands!
