There are various dysfunctions
that people suffer with, and these may or may
not be age-related. There are many that are age-related
and many yet that are not age-related. Indeed,
Erectile Dysfunction is believed by many to be
age-related.
However, this is a misconception, as impotency
affects many young people as well. This is because
it is caused through things that apply to the
elderly as well as the young. Some of the causes
of this dysfunction include medication, drug-use,
diseases, accidents, etc. These are all non
age-related causes for the dysfunction. Therefore,
old people and young people as well could easily
be affected with erectile dysfunction.
Drug Use:
In view of drug use that causes erectile dysfunction,
it must be considered that there is a greater
chance of people being affected with erectile
dysfunction when they are young. This is because
there are many more young people using drugs than
older people. As far as using medication for various
treatments, older and younger men are both equally
affected.
This is because of the fact that they are likely
to use the same treatments for particular ailments.
This refers to the treatment of conditions like
diabetes and hyper tension. Though the doses or
products of these treatments may differ slightly,
they are basically the same treatments, and this
means they respond according irrespective of their
ages.
Use of Medications:
Reflecting again on medications and substances
that can be consumed, it might be asserted medication
consumption might be related to one’s age
from one particular angle. This is because one
could be affected with different
medications depending on his chances of getting
a disorder or disease. For example, getting particular
diseases might be age related.
On this basis, one might be able to assert that
some older men might be more prone to suffer with
hyper tension. In this view, these older men might
be more likely to consume medication to deal with
hyper tension, and this would affect their sexual
functions (erectile tissue).
Physical Injuries:
Physically injuries as well affect men no matter
what their ages are. In fact, men, when they are
young stand greater chances of suffering injuries.
This is because there is a greater probability
of them taking part in activities that are risky
and are more likely to be in situations where
there is more action.
Older men tend to lead more relaxed lives, relatively
speaking, and being at home or spending quiet
evenings after work is common. Sports injuries
are more likely for younger people or even road
and other accidents because of them frequently
out of the home.
As far diseases are concerned, old and young men
might be equally exposed. This might even depend
on one’s chances. It is really difficult
to say who is more exposed to diseases that affect
the erectile tissue.
Older people may suffer lower testosterone levels,
and this may be a cause of lower sexual performance
and hence a lack of erection. In this case, one
can say that older men may suffer from erectile
dysfunction more than younger men.
This is true to say, but this does not mean that
younger men cannot suffer lowered testosterone
levels. Some medications or health conditions
may cause such conditions.
Finally, it may be asserted that in some ways
older men may have slightly higher chances than
younger men of suffering with
erectile dysfunction. However, most men regardless
of their ages are normally allowed to under treatment
for erectile dysfunction.
