Entender lo que est\u00e1 sucediendo y saber cu\u00e1ndo hablar puede cambiar la experiencia.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Aclarando las cosas: Qu\u00e9 es realmente la disfunci\u00f3n er\u00e9ctil<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La disfunci\u00f3n er\u00e9ctil se define como la dificultad para lograr o mantener una erecci\u00f3n lo suficientemente firme para la actividad sexual. Pero a pesar de lo que muchos hombres suponen, no siempre es un problema mec\u00e1nico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eso se debe a que la respuesta del cuerpo al estr\u00e9s puede interferir directamente con la funci\u00f3n sexual. Piensa en ello como un circuito de retroalimentaci\u00f3n: el estr\u00e9s conduce a la ansiedad por el desempe\u00f1o, lo que a su vez genera m\u00e1s estr\u00e9s y el ciclo contin\u00faa.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La disfunci\u00f3n er\u00e9ctil se vuelve m\u00e1s frecuente con la edad; afecta al menos al 25% de los hombres mayores de 40 a\u00f1os y su prevalencia aumenta a lo largo de los 50 y los 60 a\u00f1os, a medida que se producen cambios hormonales y disminuye la testosterona. Los factores relacionados con el estilo de vida, como el tabaquismo excesivo, el consumo de alcohol y el sedentarismo, aumentan el riesgo.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pero los hombres m\u00e1s j\u00f3venes tampoco son inmunes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Entre los 20 y 30 a\u00f1os, la disfunci\u00f3n er\u00e9ctil (DE) tiene m\u00e1s probabilidades de originarse por factores psicol\u00f3gicos como la presi\u00f3n laboral, el estr\u00e9s en las relaciones o problemas de salud mental.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00bfLa buena noticia? Estas causas suelen ser muy tratables una vez identificadas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">La conversaci\u00f3n que lo cambia todo<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Si experimentas disfunci\u00f3n er\u00e9ctil, cuanto antes busques ayuda, mejor. El primer paso no es una prueba o procedimiento complicado. Es simplemente una conversaci\u00f3n.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Una evaluaci\u00f3n t\u00edpica implica una breve charla cl\u00ednica, usualmente de unos 20 minutos, centrada en tu historial de salud, estilo de vida y s\u00edntomas. A partir de ah\u00ed, los proveedores usualmente pueden identificar las causas probables y recomendar un camino a seguir r\u00e1pidamente.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Y hay un beneficio inesperado: alivio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLa mayor\u00eda de los hombres salen de all\u00ed sinti\u00e9ndose mejor con lo que les est\u00e1 pasando y sabiendo que no est\u00e1n solos\u201d, dice Dall'Era.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Problemas de salud subyacentes y disfunci\u00f3n er\u00e9ctil<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Las causas de la disfunci\u00f3n er\u00e9ctil (DE) pueden ser una combinaci\u00f3n de factores f\u00edsicos y psicol\u00f3gicos, pero tambi\u00e9n puede ser una se\u00f1al temprana de problemas de salud m\u00e1s generales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La funci\u00f3n er\u00e9ctil saludable depende de un flujo sangu\u00edneo y una funci\u00f3n nerviosa fuertes. Las afecciones que afectan a estos sistemas, como la presi\u00f3n arterial alta, el colesterol alto, la diabetes y las enfermedades cardiovasculares, pueden contribuir a la disfunci\u00f3n er\u00e9ctil.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pero tambi\u00e9n est\u00e1 el lado de la salud mental: la depresi\u00f3n impacta significativamente la disfunci\u00f3n er\u00e9ctil. Cuando los hombres se retraen ante el problema, tambi\u00e9n se alejan de su comunidad, de la conexi\u00f3n y del apoyo emocional.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Es solo una raz\u00f3n m\u00e1s por la que es importante no ignorar los s\u00edntomas y buscar ayuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Opciones de tratamiento para la disfunci\u00f3n er\u00e9ctil<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Para muchos hombres, el tratamiento es sencillo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Medicamentos como el Viagra suelen ser efectivos y se pueden tomar seg\u00fan sea necesario o en dosis diarias m\u00e1s bajas. Pero la medicaci\u00f3n es solo una parte del rompecabezas. El estilo de vida juega un papel importante.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEl factor m\u00e1s importante es un estilo de vida cardiovascularmente saludable\u201d, explica Dall\u2019Era. Un enfoque saludable para el coraz\u00f3n, como el ejercicio regular, una nutrici\u00f3n equilibrada, el mantenimiento de un peso saludable, la limitaci\u00f3n del consumo de alcohol y el manejo del estr\u00e9s, puede mejorar significativamente tanto la disfunci\u00f3n er\u00e9ctil como el bienestar general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">No es solo f\u00edsico, es relacional<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La disfunci\u00f3n er\u00e9ctil no ocurre de forma aislada. Afecta las relaciones.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cA menudo, est\u00e1 envuelto en silencio\u201d, dice&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vailhealth.org\/es\/acerca-de\/directorio-de-doctores\/paige-baker-braxton\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dra. Paige Baker-Braxton<\/a>, psic\u00f3logo cl\u00ednico en Vail Health Behavioral Health y con amplia experiencia en conversaciones delicadas. \u201cLa disfunci\u00f3n er\u00e9ctil suele afectar a los hombres al mismo tiempo que las mujeres experimentan cambios en sus cuerpos durante la menopausia. Entonces, el c\u00f3nyuge a menudo piensa que no es deseable\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sin comunicaci\u00f3n, las parejas caen en un ciclo de evitaci\u00f3n, donde ambos miembros se sienten inseguros, desconectados o incluso rechazados.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pero la disfunci\u00f3n er\u00e9ctil no es un reflejo del deseo o la atracci\u00f3n. Es un problema de salud y abordarlo juntos puede fortalecer la conexi\u00f3n.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hablando con tu pareja sobre la disfunci\u00f3n er\u00e9ctil<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLa disfunci\u00f3n er\u00e9ctil no solo le sucede al hombre, le sucede a la pareja\u201d, explica Baker-Braxton. Puede ser un tema dif\u00edcil de abordar, pero la forma en que la pareja maneja la conversaci\u00f3n es importante.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Liderar con curiosidad, no con culpa, puede marcar la diferencia. Un lenguaje sencillo y de apoyo ayuda a crear seguridad y conexi\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aqu\u00ed tienes algunas frases para probar:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u201cHe notado que esto parece estresarte. \u00bfC\u00f3mo te sientes al respecto?\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cEstamos bien. \u00bfQu\u00e9 necesitas?\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cMe importas t\u00fa, no esto.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aqu\u00ed hay algo m\u00e1s profundo en juego tambi\u00e9n.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLa disfunci\u00f3n er\u00e9ctil puede tener un gran impacto en la identidad de una persona, especialmente en los hombres de alto rendimiento\u201d, se\u00f1ala Baker-Braxton. \u201cNuestra sociedad entrelaza profundamente la masculinidad con la destreza sexual. Pensamos en el sexo y la fuerza, pero eso no es lo \u00fanico atractivo en un hombre. La masculinidad se trata de conexi\u00f3n, ternura y autenticidad\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Por eso es \u00fatil ampliar la definici\u00f3n de intimidad. La cercan\u00eda emocional, el tiempo de calidad y la conexi\u00f3n f\u00edsica fuera del coito desempe\u00f1an un papel en el mantenimiento de una relaci\u00f3n s\u00f3lida.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Si te cuesta expresarte, la terapia de pareja puede ayudar a facilitar estas conversaciones.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">No est\u00e1s solo<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La disfunci\u00f3n er\u00e9ctil es com\u00fan, tratable y a menudo est\u00e1 relacionada con factores que escapan a tu control. Lo que es m\u00e1s importante, no es algo que tengas que resolver por tu cuenta.&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For something so common and treatable, erectile dysfunction (ED) is still surprisingly difficult to talk about. \u201cThe biggest misconception men have is that there\u2019s a mechanical or physical problem with them, and that\u2019s usually not the case,\u201d explains&nbsp;Dr. Joseph Dall\u2019Era, a urologist at Vail Health.&nbsp; In reality, ED is far more nuanced and manageable than&#8230;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6574,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[233],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6573","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mens-health"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
