Impotence

"The inability to obtain and/or maintain a penile erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual intercourse" is known as impotence. It is also termed as erectile dysfunction (ED) or male sexual dysfunction.

Many males of different age groups suffer from impotence but at varying levels. Males above the age of 40 have the most cases, but growing age is not always the main reason for impotence. Even men in their twenties and thirties can have impotence problems for various different reasons.

Medical solution for Impotence

Low degree impotence or impotence of primary level can easily be treated by improving your life style and work habits without having to seek treatment. But, however, there are instances where it is best to seek advice from your doctor and look into prescription treatment options.

Viagra, Cialis and Levitra are three highly effective prescription drugs which could work to treat impotence.

The myth among people about impotence, a common erection problem, is that it is considered as a psychological or mental problem, but medically impotence is caused by more physiological factors and less psychological.

In some instances though, impotence could be the result of low self confidence and self esteem. In this case impotence is more related to psychological factors rather then physiological.

Causes of Impotence

Physiological causes - Many people with diabetes, hypertension (high blood pressure), high cholesterol, prostate problems, history of heart attacks and strokes, hormonal imbalance, abdominal injury or surgery suffers a higher risk of impotence. Lifestyle choices like smoking, drugs and drinking can also increase the physiological risk of a person developing impotence.

Psychological causes - Most psychological causes are closely related to life style and living habits like work pressure, stress, anxiety, depression, tension, side effects of medicines or sleeping disorders like insomnia.
