Improper Erection

To compound the problem, surveys have found that 36% of physicians are reluctant to discuss sexual health issues with their patients. Of these, almost one in three report that it is either "extremely difficult" or "very difficult" to discuss function with their patients. This is not surprising considering that they have received only an average of 12 hours of classroom study in medical school on the subject of human sexuality, other than for reproductive biology. Many doctors have received no training at all and the trend in medical schools is definitely towards less theoretical learning and more towards problem-based learning. It is natural that in problem-based learning the inclination will be to treat the failure to be able to achieve and maintain erection with medication or surgery. However, here again this "problem-solving" approach often fails the patient, since by merely treating the symptom rather than the emotional cause of the problem, it may likely resurface in the same way or creates new problems.
As to our personal adventure with Viagra, and in fairness to this audience, we must disclose that due to our education and training, in our sexual relationship, we have already studied and gleefully mastered sexual and sensual techniques to prolong and extend our lovemaking. So, we were certainly curious as to how Viagra would impact us, if at all.

, or ED, can be a total inability to achieve erection, an inconsistent ability to do so, or a tendency to sustain only brief erections. These variations make defining ED and estimating its incidence difficult. Estimates range from 15 million to 30 million, depending on the definition used. According to the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS), for every 1,000 men in the United States, 7.7 physician office visits were made for ED in 1985. By 1999, that rate had nearly tripled to 22.3. The increase happened gradually, presumably as treatments such as vacuum devices and injectable drugs became more widely available and discussing erectile function became accepted. Perhaps the most publicized advance was the introduction of the oral drug sildenafil citrate (Viagra) in March 1998. NAMCS data on new drugs show an estimated 2.6 million mentions of Viagra at physician office visits in 1999, and one-third of those mentions occurred during visits for a diagnosis other than ED.
