Let’s talk about impotence

Posted on July 16, 2010

Impotence, also known as erectile dysfunction, is a common sexual problem that affects millions of men worldwide. However, a large number of men hesitate in discussing the condition with their doctor because of the sexual nature of the condition and because of the taboos society associate with this condition. Men suffering from Impotence experience consistent inability to achieve or maintain an erection of the penis long enough to complete sexual intercourse. Though the condition is not life-threatening it severely affects the quality of life. Men suffering from impotence are likely to develop low self-esteem because of their inability to perform sexual functions normally. Besides, their relationship too gets affected because of lack of intimacy.

Erectile dysfunction can be caused because of physical or psychological factors or a combination of both. Leading physical causes of erectile dysfunction include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, vascular diseases, smoking, excessive consumption of alcohol and side effects of certain medicines. Some of the most reported psychological causes of erectile dysfunction include stress, depression, relationship problems and performance anxiety.

Though erectile dysfunction can affect any men, the condition is more commonly reported in men above 65 years of age. This is not because impotence is an inevitable part of ageing process but because of the fact that elderly men are more likely to suffer from conditions such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes that may interfere with the erection process. In young men, erectile dysfunction is mainly caused because of psychological reasons and is usually treated with the help of counseling and sex therapy.

Men suffering from impotence should not hesitate in getting their condition diagnosed by a doctor. Today, there are effective treatments available such as impotence pills (Viagra, Cialis and Levitra), vacuum therapy, penile injection and penis implants. In addition, men can also take help of herbal supplements such as VigRX pills to improve their erectile function.
