Most men will experience an isolated erection problem at some time
in their lives, but for others it happens more frequently. If the inability to
respond to your partner has become a recurring problem, you may be suffering
from a treatable medical condition called erectile dysfunction, also known as
impotence.
If you think you have Erectile Dysfunction, you are not alone.
It's estimated that approximately half of men aged 40 to 70 years in the US are
affected with ED to some degree.
Most cases of ED are associated with common medical
conditions, some medications used to treat these conditions, and certain
lifestyle factors like smoking or excessive alcohol consumption. The good news
is that erection problems can almost always be treated. One treatment is VIAGRAŽ
(sildenafil citrate), a pill available by prescription.
Of course, before you can be properly diagnosed and treated
for ED, you need to talk to your healthcare provider.
There are many reasons why men can develop erectile
dysfunction problems. Listed here are some of the most common reasons men
develop impotency problems. While Viagra is not a cure for erectile dysfunction,
Viagra can help treat impotence caused by many of these conditions.
 |
Vascular disease,
or the hardening and narrowing of the arteries, is a common reason for men to
develop impotency problems. Vascular disease can impede proper blood flow to
the penis and make erections not as strong as they should be. This is a common
cause for erectile dysfunction in men over the age of 60. |
|
Venous leak,
or the inability for the veins in the penis to properly hold blood, is another
common reason for impotence to be present in a man. Venous leak can result
from disease, injury or other damage to the veins in the penis. |
|
Neurological causes,
such as spinal cord injury or damage to the brain or nervous system, can cause
impotence in men. Neurological disorders can block and interrupt the normal
nerve impulses from the brain to the penis that cause an erection.
|
|
Drug related impotence
is another common cause for impotence. Many prescription medications, such as
anti-depressants, tranquilizers, sedatives, heart condition and high blood
pressure pharmaceuticals, have subsidiary side effects that effect normal
erectile function in men. Excessive alcohol and tobacco use, as well as
illicit drug use, can lead to problems with impotency. |
|
Hormonal imbalances
only account for about 5% of all impotence cases. Lowered testosterone levels
in men can not only lead to erectile dysfunction problems, but lessened sexual
desire. |
| Pelvic area surgery (colon,
rectum, prostate or bladder) may damage nerves and blood vessels in the body
that are responsible for normal erectile function. Cancer surgery can also
cause impotence problems, as extra tissue and nerves around the cancerous area
are removed. |
| Psychological causes are not
as common as the physical causes for impotence, but should be addressed
nonetheless. Psychological reasons for impotence, such as depression, stress,
worry, guilt or anger, can be just as debilitating to normal sexual function
in men as physical causes. |
