Impotence is
the inability to attain or maintain an erection of the penis adequate
for the sexual satisfaction of both the partners. The medical term for
impotence is Erectile dysfunction. |
| What are the causes? |
|
Since an erection requires a sequence of events, impotence can occur
when any of the events is disturbed. The sequence includes nerve impulses
in the brain, spinal column, and area of the penis and response in muscles,
fibrous tissues, veins and arteries in and near the corpora cavernosa.
Impotence is inevitable with ageing process. Normally impotence is noticed
in persons over fifty years.
|
 Psychological problems With younger men, psychological problems are the likeliest reason for impotence. Tension, anxiety neurosis and depression cause major part of erectile dysfunction. These may arise from poor communication from the sexual partner or a difference in sexual preferences. The sexual difficulties may also be linked to depression, feeling of inadequacy, personal sexual fears, fear of sexual failure, rejection by parents or peers or sexual abuse in childhood such as masturbation and other sexual perversions. |

 |
Atherosclerosis Because erection is primarily a vascular event. In atherosclerosis the narrowing and thickening of the blood vessel wall impairs the circulation. It is normal as one has ageing phenomena. Diabetes, smoking, tobacco, paan parag can accelarate hardening of blood vessels. |
|
Neurological The vascular processes that produce an erection are controlled by the nervous system. Nerve signals are impaired by alcoholism and Narcotic drugs. Sometimes medications for various illnesses with modern drugs may produce temporary impotence. Neurological diseases like multiple sclerosis are also considered.
Hormonal Imbalance Any hormonal imbalance may indirectly hit testosterone secretion to result in "Hypogonadism." Less testosterone causes lack of sex drive.
Surgical procedures Surgery such as prostate surgery can injure nerves and arteries near the penis, causing impotence. Injury to the penis, spinal cord, prostate, bladder and pelvis can lead to impotence by harming nerves, smooth muscles, arteries and fibrous tissues of the corpora cavernosa. |

| What to do? | |
|
If the cause is reported to be psychological, it is crucial to
consider your relationship with your life partner and to examine other
possible sources of both mental and physical stress or tension. If impotence
persists, physical causes of impotence can be eliminated based on
habits and allied diseases. You can attempt initially with romantic
foods. Aphrodisiac medicines are temporarily helpful in reviving
from impotence. Homoeopathic Medicines are wonderful in the treatment
of several psychological problems. Homoeopathic medicines have special
affinity to regenerate nervous system as you observe in epilepsy. You
need not depend on medicines permanently. After treatment you can live
happily without medication. I have come across many cases that had given
me excellent results.
