Erectile dysfunction, also known as impotence, is characterised by the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for sexual activity. This can lead to embarrassment or anxiety and affects 4.7 million men in the UK alone.
An erection refers to the physiological process in which the penis becomes firm, enlarged, and erect. It occurs as a result of increased blood flow to the erectile tissues of the penis. At our Erectile Dysfunction Clinic in London, treatment protocol is tailor-made, especially for him and his specific erectile dysfunction condition, to achieve the best results.
The process of achieving an erection involves both physical and psychological factors. When a man is sexually aroused or stimulated, nerve signals are sent from the brain to the penis. These signals trigger the release of nitric oxide, a chemical that relaxes the smooth muscles in the walls of the blood vessels within the penis.
As the smooth muscles relax, the arteries in the penis dilate, allowing more blood to flow into the erectile tissues known as the corpora cavernosa. The corpora cavernosa are two sponge-like structures that run along the length of the penis. The increased blood flow fills and expands the erectile tissues, causing the penis to become erect and firm.
During an erection, the veins that usually carry blood away from the penis are compressed against the outer wall of the penis, restricting the blood flow out of the penis. This helps to maintain the erection for the duration of sexual activity.
There is no defined time on how long intercourse before a man ejaculates; however, studies have shown that the average time for engaged intercourse is 5.5 minutes. Erectile dysfunction can affect men of all ages, although it is more prevalent in older men, making it more likely for older men to need weak erection treatment.

FAQ's
There are two main types of erectile dysfunction:
- Physical Erectile Dysfunction: This type of erectile dysfunction is caused by physical factors that affect the blood flow or nerve supply to the penis.
- Psychogenic Erectile Dysfunction: This type of erectile dysfunction is primarily caused by psychological or emotional factors. It may occur in individuals who have normal physical functioning but experience difficulties with sexual arousal or maintaining an erection due to psychological issues.
Erectile dysfunction can have various causes, both physical and psychological. Some common factors that can contribute to the condition and may cause someone to seek treatment for erectile dysfunction include:
Physical Erectile Dysfunction causes:
- Vascular Causes: Conditions that affect blood flow, such as atherosclerosis (hardening and narrowing of the arteries), high blood pressure, diabetes, or cardiovascular disease.
- Neurological Causes: Conditions that affect the nerves involved in the erection process, such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, spinal cord injuries, or nerve damage from surgery or trauma.
- Hormonal Causes: Hormonal imbalances, particularly low testosterone levels.
- Medications: Certain medications, including some antidepressants, antihypertensives, antipsychotics, and medications for prostate conditions.
- Peyronie’s Disease: This condition involves the development of fibrous plaques within the penis, causing curvature or deformity and potentially leading to erectile difficulties.
Psychogenic Erectile Dysfunction causes:
- Performance Anxiety: Fear or anxiety related to sexual performance, including concerns about satisfying a partner or fear of failure.
- Relationship Problems: Difficulties within a relationship, unresolved conflicts, or lack of emotional intimacy.
- Stress and Depression: High levels of stress, depression, or other mental health disorders can affect sexual function.
- Trauma or Past Sexual Abuse: Previous traumatic experiences or sexual abuse can impact sexual functioning.
- Unrealistic Expectations or Negative Beliefs: Negative thoughts or beliefs about sexuality, body image, or self-esteem.
The most popular erectile dysfunction treatments are limited to drug therapy, which doesn’t always suit every patient, or get the best results.
The O Concept™ protocol founded by Dr. Wakil uses the latest cutting-edge non-surgical treatments that could achieve similar surgical results, in just a few sessions, approx. 20-40 mins each, with no to very little down-time, and no side effects reported.
