Traditionally, the word "impotence" most often means a failure to achieve an erection or keep it up. In the life of any normal man such discomfiture can sometimes happen, but it is absolutely not a sign of illness. And only when the exception becomes a rule, it is time to sound the alarm. By the way, not so long ago, doctors agreed to once and for all get rid of the term "impotence", now problems with erectile dysfunction are called "erectile dysfunction".
Statistics does not give a precise answer on the number of men who have erectile problems, primarily because the very notion of erection problems is too general. To be precise, we should talk about erectile dysfunction or impotence.
Why does it happen?
Even a perfectly healthful man does not have a 100% guarantee of success in this psycho-dependent process known as sexual intercourse. Occasional erection problems can arise in any person. And the reasons may be very different, for example, physiological - excess of alcohol, side effects of medications, etc., or psychological - self-doubt, anger or stress.
If erection problems arise often or have already become a nightmare of your life, pay attention to your health, because most of erectile disorders are associated with the pathology of blood vessels.
In some cases, the problem is not in the physiology of the body, but rather, in psychology. What we feel, perceive and experience is reflected in sexual function.
Here are some signs that indicate a possible psychological problem:
• A man can achieve an erection with one partner or during masturbation, but can not do it with others.
• He is experiencing severe stress, such as divorce or job loss.
• He already had depression or other mental disorders.
• He does not have physical ailments such as diabetes, heart and blood vessels disease, hypertension and others.
Diagnosis and treatment
If you suspect that something is wrong with you, do not panic. Maybe you should just reconsider your attitude towards sex in general, your partner in particular, and it is quite possible that small changes in your usual life will remove your problems.
In most cases, erectile dysfunction of any degree is curable. However, do not self-medicate as not knowing the exact cause of the problem or set of reasons, you run the risk to irreversibly worsen the situation.
In order to understand what is happening to you, you must consult a qualified sexologist. If your problems are physiological in nature, the doctor will send you to an additional examination to urologist, andrologist, therapist, etc.
Drug therapy
At present time such drugs as Generic Viagra online (sildenafil), Levitra (vardenafil) and Cialis online (tadalafil) are successfully used to treat impotence. Their efficacy is unquestionable, but they can cause a lot of side effects.
Modern medical supplies (the so-called sexual dopes) used in clinical practice allow to achieve high efficiency of treatment, which is 70-80%. These drugs are distinguished by side effects, such as a slight headache, a sudden reddening of the face and neck, nasal congestion, changes in color perception and visual acuity.
