Understanding Erectile Dysfunction (ED)

Erectile Dysfunction (ED) occurs when a man can’t get an erection or can’t keep an erection long enough to finish having or during sex. Another term for this problem is impotence.

An erection is caused when there is increased blood flow into the penis. Penile vein then clamp down to trap blood there, causing stiffness. Nerves in the penis provide feelings of pleasure and help maintain the erection until ejaculation.

There are many possible physical and non-physical causes of ED. Basically if any disorder that impairs blood flow in the penis has potential to cause ED. This includes diseases like hypertension, diabetes, vascular and cardiovascular (heart) diseases, any injury particular nearby area prostate gland e.g. surgery’s side effect, hypertension drug side effects and psychological causes like anxiety, depression or stress.


Solution through Massage Therapy

Firstly, increase the blood flow through massaging the Triple-Heater, Pericardium and Heart meridians (Fire Element). Increasing blood flow also helps the body detoxification process (see why we need massage).

Secondly, is to reduce all the causative problems by massaging the Liver meridian. By activating the liver as to increase the body’s defense mechanism. The liver acts ‘military’ defense force.

Not to forget to activate the Kidney and Urinary Bladder meridian (Water Element) because this element acts as ‘energy level and fluid control’ in the body system.

Combination of ‘steady blood flow’, ‘good body defense system’ and ‘better energy and fluid control’, hopefully (insyaAllah), can enhance the penile erection back to normal situation.
