An erection occurs when the nitric acid released by the penile nerves relaxes the muscles. Due to the stimuli, the blood flow to the penis increases which finally makes the penis hard causing an erection. ED or Erectile dysfunction is the condition when you cannot get an erection even when there is a sexual stimulation. ED or Erectile dysfunction often leads to awkward situations. Even though a man may feel ashamed to address such a condition, he must remember that ED can be treated and can be cured. As soon as the reason behind the ED occurring is discovered by the doctor, there are several ways of treating it.

How Can Oral Medication Cure ED?
There are also several oral medications to cure ED. From the Sildenafil group, the most common medicine to cure ED is Viagra. Viagra enhances the function of the nitric acid released from the penile nerves to relax the muscles. Therefore the blood flow to the penis increases and an erection can occur. The oral medication to treat ED takes in 30 minutes to kick in and the effect remains for a couple of hours. The medication cannot give an erection if there is no sexual stimulation. Oral medications for ED have a few side effects like headache, backache and nasal blockage. Therefore only prescribed dosage should be taken in.
What Natural Remedies Can Cure ED?
The alternative to medication is by adopting natural remedies. Most of these remedies are taken from various herbs and plants. There can be some mild (or sometimes severe) side effects to these natural remedies even though they are tested. One must consult the doctor before adopting any such natural remedies.
- L-arginine: This helps to open the blood vessels in a wider way so that more blood flows to the penis. Therefore if L-arginine is taken in high dosage, then the condition of ED you are suffering from can be improved. The common side effects of it are cramps, nausea and diarrhea. While you are on Viagra, do not take L-arginine.
- Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA): Not only does DHEA increase the libido in women, the effects of it is positive in men. DHEA helps to improve the condition of ED when taken in small doses. Sometimes DHEA may develop acne on your skin.
- Ginkgo: This medication helps to increase the blood flow in penis so that the sexual desire increases and hence helps to fight the condition of ED. It must be remembered that a high dose of Ginkgo may lead to excessive bleeding. If you are on any kind of medication which works as blood thinners, then consult your doctor before taking in Ginkgo.
