MALE IMPOTENCE COMPLETE GUIDE

Understanding the Symptoms of Male Impotence

2015-01-10T22:35:00.000+02:00

Have you recently had trouble maintaining or getting an erection? Are you worried that you may be suffering from male impotence, otherwise known as erectile dysfunction?

Studies have shown that one in ten men in the United States suffers from erectile dysfunction.

While that's a large number of men in itself, what's even more astounding is that of those men, almost half never realize they're suffering from it. It's easy to see why a man might try his hardest to ignore the signs in front of him-no one wants to admit to anyone, let alone himself, that he possibly has impotence after all.

Still, it's important that all men recognize the signs which may point toward ED as the underlying causes may require immediate medical attention.

There is no single medical test which can be performed to determine whether or not a man is suffering from ED. Like many dysfunctions, the total combination of symptoms and possible causes have to be evaluated by a trained professional to determine if you're suffering from impotence or a more serious issue.

Obviously, the main symptom and sign of erectile dysfunction is the inability to maintain or achieve an erection. Even if you're unable to achieve an erection, however, you may not be suffering from the condition, as there are a number of other reasons both physiological and psychological which may be causing your problems.

One of the simplest ways to deduce if your problem is physical or something else is to monitor the activity of your nocturnal erections. If your nighttime erections are occurring without any problems your issue is likely a psychological one and not something physical.

In fact, the biggest warning sign of impotency in men is never having an erection. If you ever have an erection, that's a surefire sign that you're not suffering from erectile dysfunction. Even if your erections last for less than a minute and occur only every other day, the mere act of having one instantly points the cause of your erectile issues you may be suffering from to other sources.

A variety of other influences including ageing, recent surgery, hormonal disorders, arterial damage, psychological issues, alcohol, drugs, obesity, cigarette smoking, obesity, and more can be the cause of your problems, and most of them can be easily treated and diagnosed by visiting a doctor.

Treatment options of IMPOTENCE

2015-01-10T21:10:00.000+02:00

Impotence can nearly always be treated - 95 percent of men find a suitable treatment. The simplest are talking therapies, such as cognitive behavioural therapy, and medicines.

If the cause is mainly because you are anxious or are having relationship difficulties, then talking to a counselor or psychosexual therapist will probably be most helpful for you. You may also find this useful if you think you may have other psychological problems such as depression.

Self-help

A healthier lifestyle may prevent your impotence getting worse. The following changes can help.

If you smoke, make a plan to stop.
Take moderate intensity exercise (so you feel warm and slightly out of breath - brisk walking for instance) for half an hour, most days of the week.
Eat a balanced diet that is rich in fruit and vegetables and low in fat.
Drink alcohol in moderation. If you use illegal drugs, bear in mind that these can also cause impotence.
Aim to reduce stress in your life by looking at the balance between your work and home/leisure time. You may find relaxation techniques are helpful.

If you have diabetes, you should make sure that you control your blood sugar levels properly.

If your GP thinks prescription medicines are causing or contributing to impotence, it may be possible for you to switch to an alternative.

Medicines

In most other circumstances, the next step will be a trial with a medicine that will help you obtain and keep an erection. However, you will only be able to receive these medicines on the NHS if you have a specific medical condition, such as diabetes, multiple sclerosis or Parkinson's disease. You may also be eligible if you have had major pelvic surgery, spinal injury or kidney failure.

There are now three different types of medicine known as phosphodiesterase type-5 (PDE5) inhibitors. The most well-known of these is sildenafil (Viagra). There are two other similar medicines called tadalafil (Cialis) and vardenafil (Levitra) that work in the same way. All three medicines cause the blood vessels in your penis to relax so more blood can flow into it, leading to an erection. They don't increase your libido so you will still need sexual stimulation. The medicines will enable you to have erections for several hours.

There are other medicines available and your GP will be able to advise which is most suitable for you. As with all medicines, you may have side-effects. With these treatments they are usually minor and include headaches, nausea, indigestion and flushing. However, there have been rare cases of more serious complications including heart problems.

All of these medicines are only legally approved for use in men and have not been shown in clinical trials to be safe for women.

It's now possible for you to buy some of these medicines over the counter in pharmacies, following a consultation with a pharmacist. Be careful if you are considering buying medicines on the internet, particularly prescription medicines. If you buy medicines over the internet there is a risk that they are from unregulated and illegal websites. If they are, there will be no guarantee of safety, quality or effectiveness of the medicines provided. It's illegal to sell medicines on the internet in the UK. To protect patient safety, the law is that they must be prescribed by a doctor, and dispensed by a pharmacist. If you do wish to purchase medicines online, speak to your GP about the provider first.

Alternatives

You may be able to get an external vacuum pump device from a hospital impotence clinic or you can buy one. These pump out the air from the penis and so suck blood into it. You can use them with a constriction band to trap blood inside the penis.

It may be an option for you to have surgery to increase the blood supply to your penis or to have a penile implant inserted. Your GP will be able to tell you more about these procedures.

How may your GP discovers your impotence?

2015-01-10T20:55:00.000+02:00

You may decide to see your GP if you are anxious about how reliably you can have an erection. This is often the initial problem in younger men. However, occasional episodes of impotence are common and don't mean that you will have persistent problems in the future.

You may feel embarrassed when you first go to discuss the issue with your GP or practice nurse. However, talking about impotence is routine for GPs and nurses.

Your GP will search for the cause of impotence and he will ask about your general health and your erections. This will include whether or not you wake up with an erection in the morning and the strength of erections compared with those in the past. Your GP will ask you if you are taking any medication, and whether there have been any changes in your life recently that might have influenced your sexual health.

Your GP will take your blood pressure and check the pulses in your legs. This helps to indicate how healthy your circulation is. He or she will examine your penis and scrotum. Your GP may request blood tests for conditions such as anaemia, diabetes, high cholesterol or hormone imbalances. He or she may also examine your prostate gland.

Your GP may talk with you and your partner together about any physical or psychological factors that could be contributing to the problem. For example, around the menopause, women may experience pain or discomfort during intercourse - if the man has a faltering erection, this may lead to further distress for you both.

More specialized tests to assess blood flow and the way your nerves are working can be done in specialist hospital clinics. Your GP will refer you if this is necessary.

What Causes Impotence and Loss of Erection?

2015-01-10T20:20:00.000+02:00

Impotence occurs when a man has difficulty with either getting an erection or keeping one for long enough to allow satisfactory sexual activity.

It's one of the most common sexual problems and affects around 2.3 million men in the UK. Half of all men over the age of 40 will experience it at some point in their lives. It becomes more common and severe as men get older. However, only about 10 percent of affected men seek help.

Causes

There are a number of reasons why you may have impotence. In around three-quarters of cases there are physical problems affecting the blood supply. However, there is a complex relationship between the physical and psychological aspects of sexual function. For instance, you may have physical health problems that cause psychological distress and this may have an additional effect on erection problems.

Physical health

A number of different conditions may cause impotence, including:

diabetes
multiple sclerosis
Parkinson's disease
if you have had surgery in your pelvic area
hormone imbalances

Psychological

Psychological problems can influence your ability to get and keep erections. These include:

feeling anxious, guilty or depressed
stress at work
conflicts with your partner
unresolved issues about your sexual orientation

Lifestyle

If you drink too much alcohol, this can affect your ability to get and keep an erection (often called brewer's droop). In the longer term, it interferes with the production of the male hormone testosterone, which can reduce your sexual drive and desire (libido).

Smoking damages your blood vessels and so increases your risk of erection problems. Similarly, being physically inactive, which contributes to poor cardiovascular fitness, may raise the chances of you having impotence. Impotence may be an early warning sign that you are at risk of coronary heart disease (the arteries that go to your heart are narrowed).

Many men need greater tactile stimulation as they get older. You may want to consider a change in sexual foreplay and technique to ensure a sustained erection.

Medicines

The side-effects of some medicines such as those for high blood pressure and certain antidepressants can lead to impotence. Medicines can also affect your libido, or cause problems with ejaculation and orgasm. These can also have an effect on erections.

CURRENT TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR IMPOTENCE

2013-05-11T20:01:00.000+02:00

A Self-Injection Kit
Erections obtained by injection usually last 30-60 minutes and may not subside when a man has an orgasm or ejaculates, and may interfere with the patient's social/business agenda. An overdose can cause a prolonged and painful erection that may require medical or surgical intervention. Frequent use may lead to the build-up of scar tissue in the penis, further complicating the process of erection.

Sexual Counselling

Counseling and sex therapy are sometimes effective in helping patients with minor sexual problems, especially when these are caused by sexual ignorance and psychological factors.

Oral Medication

The introduction of Viagra by Pfizer in March, 1998,, marked the beginning of a revolution in the oral medical management of erectile dysfunction (ED, E.D., impotence). The launch of Viagra was soon followed by that of Levitra and Cialis. Other (even better) drugs are in the pipeline.
Effective oral medication has re-written the management of ED and is effective in nearly 70 - 75 % of cases. Several internet resources are available for more detailed information about these drugs and these will not be discussed in detail here.

Hormone Replacement Therapy

Testosterone is the major male hormone that gives men their sexual characteristics (deep voice, beard, chest hair). As men age, their level of testosterone decreases (andropause) and this may have an adverse effect on sexual performance. In proven cases of andropause, testosterone preparations may enhance potency and improve sex drive. However, this therapy must be only offered under expert medical supervision because many side effects can occur. Other endocrine disorders causing low testosterone, elevated prolactin, and other abnormal hormonal states, will require specialist endocrinologist attention.

External Vacuum Devices

Vacuum therapy involves the use of an external vacuum device, and one or more tension rings. This therapy is purported to be effective for over 90% of the men who use it. In fact, most can technically master its use in one day, and can use it to maintain erections for up to 30 minutes, even after ejaculation and/or orgasm.

Side effects, include petechiae (reddish, pinpoint-size dots) and ecchymoses (bruising). These conditions are not painful or serious and generally occur only during an initial learning period. Penile temperature may decrease 1-2 degrees during use. Vacuum devices are generally favoured by elderly patients with erectile dysfunction.

Penile Injections

The need for the use of injections has declined enormously since the advent of orally effective drugs like Viagra for ED. Papaverine, phentolamine, prostaglandin E1, and combinations of these drugs may be self-injected into the penis with a fine, small gauge hypodermic needle. Men must first be taught the procedure in the physician's office. These drugs produce erections of good quality for about 75-85% of patients who select this option. Some patients combine this method with the use of an external vacuum device. Not too many injections are used nowadays.

Penile Implants

A penile prosthesis (implant) is a fixed or mechanical device surgically implanted within the two corpora cavernosa of the penis, allowing erection as often as desired. Penile prosthetic implantation surgery gives good results and high satisfaction ratios with low complication rates when performed at centers of excellence. The incidence of side effects is low. Penile prostheses are available in semi-rigid, self-contained 2-piece inflatable, and 3-piece inflatable models. Newer advances in implant design have reduced the complication rates and increased satisfaction rates further.

Microsurgery

Penile revascularisation and venous ligation are microsurgical procedures similar in technical complexity to a heart by-pass operation although they clearly do not carry anywhere near the same risk to the life of the patient. ! With the advent of oral drugs, the need for microsurgical intervention nowadays is not frequent. Some patients, however, will request a microsurgical cure rather than have silastic devices inserted into their penises. They would prefer that implantable penile prostheses be tried only as a last resort.

Top 10 foods to boost women sex life

2013-05-11T19:59:00.001+02:00

A good sex life doesn’t just happen – it requires a little help, which means a balanced and nutrients diet combined with regular moderate exercise and a positive attitude. These are all key elements in helping to keep your sex drive high and your reproductive system in good working order. It cannot be ignored that there are certain nutrients which have the power to regulate the levels of sex hormones in your body, and some can even help to protect your reproductive system from the potentially damaging effects of infection or disease.

For example:
A lack of zinc can cause infertility and impotence, and while moderate amounts of alcohol can help people to feel relaxed.

Caffeine in coffee, tea, and cola drinks can reduce libido.

Being either overweight or underweight can reduce the libido and impair fertility. A certain level of body fat is necessary ovulation and menstruation, and when fat drops below a certain critical point, ovulation and menstruation both cease. At the other extreme, obesity can impair ovulation in women.

A negative attitude to your weight or body shape can dent your confidence in sex and relationships.

There are certain foods that are not only delicious but also contain the necessary nutrients to maintain your reproductive health and your libido. These will contribute to your healthy sexuality by maintaining your system in good condition, helping you to regulate your hormonal cycles and boosting your fertility. Besides, the fast pace of modern life leads to stress, tiredness and sometimes a lack of sexual energy. Foods indicated below can help to combat this.

Vitamin A :
Maintains the health of the epithelial tissues which line all the external and internal surfaces of the body, including the linings of the vagina and the uterus in women. Liver, egg, yolk, cheese, butter, and carrots are good sources.

Vitamin B :
Deficiencies of both vitamin B2 and folic acid have been linked with infertility, and women planning a pregnancy should ensure that they eat plenty of foods rich in folic acid well before conception. Watercress is a particularly good source of folic acid. Lean meat, chicken, fish, wheat germ, brewer’s yeast, beans and pulses, peanuts and bananas provide B6. These foods are all rich in folic acid. Dark green leafy vegetables such as spinach and cabbage, liver, oranges, avocado, beetroot, and broccoli are all rich in folic acid.

Vitamin C :
Increasing vitamin C intake may be helpful in boosting fertility, particularly for men; tests have shown that taking 500-1000 milligrams a day can increase the number and quality of sperm produced and reduce abnormalities. This vitamin may also help to prevent the condition known as ‘agglutination', in which the sperm becomes stuck together and are unable to reach the egg. All fruit and vegetables – particularly kiwi fruit, peppers, blackcurrants, strawberries and citrus fruits – contain abundant quantities of vitamin C.

Vitamin E :
A powerful antioxidant, vitamin E helps to protect the ova from damage. Sunflower, safflower oils and some vegetable oils, nuts and seeds, margarine, wheat germ and avocados contain high levels.

Zinc :
There is probably more than a grain of truth in the theory that oysters are good for your sex life, as they are the richest food source of zinc, and zinc is known to be one of the key nutrients involved in enhancing libido & the production of sperm. Low levels of zinc have been linked both with poor libido in women and with a low sperm count in men. You can obtain zinc from shellfish (particularly oysters), wholemeal bread, brown rice, dark green leafy Vegetables, lean red meat, and turkey.

Selenium :
This mineral is vital to ensure the production of healthy ova & sperms. Learn meat, offal, brown rice and porridge oats are good sources.

Manganese :
The metabolism of the female hormone estrogen depends on manganese. It follows that a deficiency of manganese will significantly reduce fertility in women. Spinach, chestnuts, tea, oats, wholegrain cereals, wheat germ, raisins, pineapple, beans, peas, and nuts are all good sources of manganese.

Essential fatty acids :
Linoleic acid is important for sperm production. Sunflower and vegetable oils and nuts contain plentiful amounts.

Phytoestrogens :
Chemical of plant origin that resemble the female hormone estrogen is abundant in Soya bean and Soya products such as Soya drinks and tofu. They may also help protect against prostate and other cancers by preventing the growth of tumors.

Antioxidants :
Fruits and vegetables are high in antioxidants which may lower the risk of cervical cancer. They neutralize the harmful substances produced by the body.

Food and sexual prowess have been linked throughout history. Prunes, ginseng, aniseed, onion and garlic, carrots, ginger, artichokes, Aubergine are some of the foods that have been claimed to enhance sexual pleasure.

2010-07-05T12:56:00.000+03:00

NO ORGASM

What is an orgasm?

An orgasm (sexual climax) is the intense and pleasurable feeling of release at the peak of sexual excitement. A man usually ejaculates at the time of orgasm.

What is anorgasmia?

Anorgasmia is when a man is not able to orgasm following sexual stimulation.

What causes anorgasmia?

Conditions that affect the nervous system such as spinal cord injuries, Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease, and nerve damage from prostatectomy (a surgery to treat prostate cancer)
Erectile dysfunction
Some medications, particularly SSRI antidepressants
Drinking alcohol
Psychological problems including performance anxiety

Anorgasmia also becomes more common with older age.

How is anorgasmia treated?

It can be hard to treat anorgasmia, especially when it is caused by psychological problems.

If the anorgasmia is because of erectile dysfunction, the erectile problems need to be treated first and the ability to orgasm often follows. Changing medication or not drinking as much alcohol may help if the cause is due to drugs or alcohol.

Can sexual activity still be pleasurable if a man can’t orgasm?

Many men still enjoy pleasuring their sexual partner and the intimacy that comes with being physically close to someone else.

How can anorgasmia affect men?

Some men avoid sex because they find it unsatisfying if they can’t orgasm. Partners can also feel worried because they may think their partner isn’t attracted to them and finds them undesirable. Discussing these feelings with an experienced psychosexual counsellor can help.

Prevent Premature Ejaculation

2010-07-01T06:21:00.001+03:00

Self Distraction to prevent premature ejaculation If your arousal levels are getting too high and a climax is beginning, take a deep breath and think about something else, something very boring if possible.

When you are less aroused but maintaining an erection you can then continue. Stop and Start Method for premature ejaculation If you find yourself nearing climax withdraw your penis from your partner and allow yourself to relax enough to prevent ejaculation. By starting and stopping sexual stimulation you can learn to prolong the sex act.

Squeeze Methods can help prevent premature ejaculation. This method involves either the man or his partner squeezing (fairly firmly) the end or the tip of the penis for 10 to 20 seconds when ejaculation is imminent, withholding stimulation for about 30 seconds, then continuing stimulation. This can be repeated until ejaculation is desired. The stop and start method can be used with the squeeze method as well.

Desensitizing Creams for premature ejaculation. Creams can be used to desensitize the end of the penis. They act like a local or tropical anesthetic. Thicker condoms (or two condoms) can also desensitize by decreasing sensitivity and therefore stimulation, thus prolonging the sexual act.

More Foreplay prevents premature ejaculation. Stimulate your partner to a state of high arousal before you have your genitals touched, that way ejaculation and orgasm can be achieved about the same time.

Masturbation to prevent premature ejaculation. Practice different methods by yourself. Getting to know your feelings and sensations gives you the chance to gain confidence.

Remember getting good at sex and overcoming premature ejaculation can take a bit of time. Practice makes perfect. If you find that things are not improving then help is available from sex therapists who are experts in this field.

Impotence types

2009-04-18T18:33:00.003+02:00

Arteriogenic

Where the arteries supplying blood to the penis do not bring in enough blood to cause an erection. This can occur because of a narrowing of the arteries such as occurs in the elderly, diabetics and those with high blood pressure or because of injury to the genital region which causes a block in the artery to the penis.
The last is very common in the young. The injury can be major and sudden as after a vehicular accident causing a fracture of the pelvis or pubic bones, or low grade and gradual, as in bicycle and other riders, and occurs because sustained friction in that region causes a clot-like substance (thrombus) to develop in the artery to the penis. This clot gradually grows and ultimately blocks the blood supply to the penis completely.

Venogenic

Where the veins of the penis leak blood and prevent the development of a rigid erection. In a normal man during full erection the veins close down almost completely and practically no blood flows out from the penis. This allows blood to accumulate in the sinusoids of the penis, thus raising pressure and allowing for the development of rigidity or hardness.
Venogenic impotence is extremely common. It is said to account for as much as 30-70 percent of all impotence. Some men have venogenic impotence from birth (primary). Such men have never had a rigid erection all their lives. Others develop venogenic impotence suddenly after years of normal sexuality (secondary).

Neurogenic

The nerve supply to the penis is very complex. A proper conduction of impulses along these is basic for the initiation and maintenance of an erection. It is these nerves that activate the arteries and the veins and alter the dynamics of blood flow within them.
Many things can go wrong with the nerve supply to the penis. Injuries to the back, especially if they involve the vertebral column and the spinal cord can cause impotence. So also can injury to other nerves supplying the penis such as occurs after pelvic or perineal trauma. A wide variety of operations performed for other conditions can cause incidental injury to the nerves of the penis and cause impotence. These include operations on the rectum, prostate, urethra, spine, retroperitoneum, urinary bladder etc..
Of course, disorders of the nervous system such as multiple sclerosis, myelitis, tumour etc. are wont to cause impotence if they involve the nerve supply to the penis.
Another disease affecting the nerves to the penis is diabetes mellitus. Impotence is extremely common among diabetics.

In fact, as many as 50 per cent of all diabetics are impotent. Impotence in diabetics is almost always organic in origin. Appropriate therapy for diabetes can never restore erectile function because the basic diabetic process can never be reversed. Only the blood sugar levels and the complications of diabetes are controlled. Modern andrology, however, can offer a cure to nearly all patients with diabetes-related impotence. This is another fact that is, unfortunately, not known to most people. Few diabetologists address erectile dysfunction (ED, impotence) in their patients.

Many drugs also cause neurogenic impotence by affecting the neurotransmitters at the nerve endings. Notable among these are anti-hypertensives (BP lowering) and psychotropics. The list is very large. Often, it is not known that the medicine (which is prescribed for some unrelated disease, such as duodenal ulcer) is the culprit.

Endocrinologic (or hormonal)

This occurs when there is an imbalance or insufficiency of sex
hormones in the blood stream. It accounts for about 5 to 10 per cent of all organic impotence. Generally, hormonal changes affect the libido (or sex drive) rather than the quality of the erection per se. A variety of disease conditions can cause these changes.

Mixed

Sometimes, more than one factor can be operative in the same patient. Such patients generally have systemic disease. Notable examples are diabetes, kidney failure and liver failure.
Another group where mixed factors operate is where long standing impotence has led to secondary psychiatric disorders such as depression etc.. Here, the basic causative factor is organic but being unrecognised and untreated (or maltreated) it eventually takes its toll on the mind, often because the patient thinks or has been led to believe that the condition is incurable and that it's all in his mind.

Psychogenic

When there is no organic factor and the problem lies purely in the mind, it is labeled a case of psychogenic impotence. But before such hasty labeling it is necessary to prove by andrological investigation that no organic or bodily cause exists.
Only then can treatment proceed in a scientific and systematic manner.

Impotence Spray Sex Aid

2009-04-09T16:26:00.003+02:00

Viagra, Cialis and Levitra are now commonly known erectile dyfunction drugs, however there is now a new drug undergoing testing that be bo sold soon.

It is different from the others in that it can be used by males and females. This sex aid is also original in that it comes as a nasal spray and not as the usual tablets. Reserachers say that lack of sexual desire and erectile function difficulties are apparent in all societies.

The new nasal spray despite the fact that it needs to be fully tested and researched is getting good feedback from participants. Until it gains a commercial name its manufacturers are calling it PT-141.

The advantage of a nasal spray is the fact that it begins to work straight away. The makers of the drug say that it is ideal for those couples who only warrant a small boost in the bedroom rather than those who have serious erectile dysfunction problems due to health or physcological reasons. The nasal sex spray could be a very popular drug and catch on very fast if the testing proves to be successful.

PT-141 has reached the 3rd phase of tests and on the completion of these procedures the drug will be evaluated by the FDA for licencing and final approval. Due to rigorous testing procedures in the USA the product is unlikely to be on sale for 2 years and will only be available with prescription. PT-141 may become known as the gentler form of Viagra.

Sexual Enhancment Naturally

Some researchers believe one of the major causes of impotence in males is high or low blood sugar, caused by eating foods high in sugar and empty carbohydrates. A typical fast food diet such as a hamburger, fries, and a coke with a candy bar snack does not support male glands, or aid in the production of sperm - a key factor in the ability to perform sexually.
Regulating blood sugar nutritionally may help a large percentage of males perform sexually without excessive cost or side effects. In a small percentage of males, anemia may be the problem and can be effectively regulated with diet and supplements.

SOME SUPPLEMENTS FOR SEXUAL HEALTH:

L-Arginine is an essential amino acid, one of the building blocks of protein in the body. "Essential" refers to the fact that the body cannot manufacture arginine from other substances the way it does some amino acids. Dietary arginine is the primary source of nitrogen molecules for nitric oxide. Scientists have come to recognize nitric oxide as the primary mediator of penile erection. It also increases the libido in both men and women. Users have reported achieving a prosexual effect by taking this amino acid 45 minutes before sex.

Vitamin B-3 or Niacin causes a large release of histamine all over the body, one effect of which is to dilate blood vessels so more blood can flow through them. A relatively large release of histamine occurs naturally during sexual excitation causing a 'sex flush'. The flush caused by niacin is basically the same as the natural 'sex flush' but is probably more intense. The niacin-induced histamine release also causes the secretion of mucus in the mouth and sexual organs. Niacin has the ability to increase sensation all over the body.

Muira pauma is one of the best herbs to use for treating erectile dysfunction or lack of libido. Also known as Potency Wood, this shrub is native to Brazil and has long been used as a powerful aphrodisiac and nerve stimulant.

Ginkgo biloba Extract may be extremely beneficial in the treatment of erectile dysfunction due to lack of blood flow. Studies show positive effects in 50% of cases.

Corynanthe yohimbe is the only FDA approved medicine for treating impotence. For centuries the tea brewed from the bark of this tree has been used to amplify male virility and sexual prowess. Current scientific and medical literature focuses primarily on the use of yohimbine's sexual properties as a treatment for male impotence. This leaves untouched the broad range of intense prosexual effects widely reported by men who have no sexual dysfunction. Recent studies indicate that yohimbine's primary path of action promotes erection and stimulates sex drive in males. When given to sexually healthy men yohimbe produces its most impressive and consistent prosexual effects with the following results: heightened libido; increased tactile sensation in the genitals and other parts of the body; longer, harder, larger erections; increased stamina; and more powerful orgasms and ejaculations.

Damiana or Turnera diffusa leaves have been used in the United States since 1874 as an aphrodisiac and to improve the sexual ability of the enfeebled and aged. Although there are no clinical studies to support this claim, damiana use is very popular. Damiana is seldom used alone but is found in commercial preparations used to increase sexual sensitivity.

Panax ginseng has long been labeled a 'sexual rejuvenator'. Ginseng has been shown to promote growth of the testes, increase sperm formation and testosterone levels. It is best used as a fertility and virility aid.

Zinc is perhaps the most critical trace mineral for male sexual function. It is involved in virtually every aspect of male reproduction. Zinc deficiency is characterized by decreased testosterone levels and sperm counts. Optimal zinc levels must be attained if optimum male sexual vitality is desired.

Impotence Indicates Risk Of Heart Disease

2009-04-03T02:36:00.005+02:00

Many people who suffer a heart attack had never had any symptoms of heart disease. Of the roughly 5,000 individuals who die of sudden cardiac arrest in Sweden each year, two thirds had not had any known heart disease. But in men there is one thing that should constitute a advance sign of coming heart problems: impotence.

In some cases, impotence can have neurological, psychiatric, and other causes. But the most common cause, accounting for up to four cases of five, is that the blood circulation in the penis has become so poor that erection is impaired, or no erection can occur at all. And if the circulation in these vessels has been affected by atherosclerosis, then it is highly probable that the same process is under way in the coronary artery in the heart.

In a dissertation from Lund University in Sweden, the physician Rasmus Borgquist has managed to show that this reasoning is correct.

"One of our studies shows that otherwise healthy men with impotence show signs of early atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries of the heart. In another study we saw that men with impotence evince a higher incidence of high blood pressure, high blood fat, abdominal fat, and other traditional risk factors for heart disease," he says.

The conclusion is that men with impotence problems should seek care as soon as possible, since both their impotence and the possible threat of heart disorders can be counteracted with early intervention. The first priority involves changes in life style, such as quitting smoking, exercise, and altered diet, and then if these are insufficient, medication for lowering blood pressure and blood fat and also pharmacological therapy for treatment of the impotence as such.

"It's probably easier to get men to accept changes in their life style if you can point out that they alleviate impotence, rather than talking about the risk of a heart attack sometime down the road. And there are studies that show that potency improves rather quickly in those who quit smoking and lose weight," says Rasmus Borgquist.

The notion that there is a connection between impotence and heart disease was put forward in the mid 1980s. But this connection has been studied seriously only in recent years.

"Today there is a greater interest in these issues, both among the public and at drug companies," claims Rasmus Borgquist. "On the one hand, several new drugs have appeared to combat cardiovascular diseases and their risk factors, and, on the other hand, potency drugs like Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra have led many more men to seek help for impotence."

There is still a certain "awkwardness factor" that makes some patients reluctant to seek help, and some physicians are hesitant to take up the matter. But in Rasmus Borgquist's experience, once the physician has broached the subject, patients tend to respond frankly.

Male Impotence - How to Treat Male Impotency, Increase Libido

2009-03-23T23:38:00.001+02:00

Male impotence can be simply defined as incapability of a man to produce a progeny. Male impotency is not a recent issue as it has been one of the most critical issues since time immemorial. Ancient medical texts such as Ayurveda describe male impotence as vyandhatva that date back more than 3000 years!

There are many causes that contribute to male impotence. Some of the known factors include male sex hormone insufficiency, any reproductive organ damage, severe mental stress or anxiety, chronic diseases such as diabetes etc. Whatever the cause is, male impotence has been always considered as lack of manhood, lack of masculinity. A man suffering from impotency is being highly criticized among his friends and sexual partners.

Male impotence is also a total inability to gain erection, an inconsistent power to do so, or a problem in sustaining it only short erections. Such variations turn defining male impotence and figuring its incidence a bit hard. Health experts estimate that male impotence affects between 10 and 15 million Americans. The figure for the world is much more than that.

Impotency is quite treatable, especially in young age groups, and as the luck would have it, cognizance of the fact is markedly been growing. More and more men have been willing for a help and to return to near-normal sexual health since there are many ways to treat male impotence.

Basically, the male impotence is treated only after knowing its cause. If it is due to hormonal insufficiency, hormonal supplements are given. However, there are many herbal products that possess male hormonal replacement therapy as they contain the plant hormones that serve as natural male sex hormones. The market is full of male enhancement products that help in curing premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction.

Most of the time, when a man is unable to have proper fuller, firmer and longer erection, the treatment is quite possible using herbal natural products. Such male impotence therapy includes male pills or capsules, lotions, creams, gels and oils to be applied onto the male organ. The products used for male impotency contain the blend of potential herbs those have been timely tested and trusted to cure male sex problems.

The herbs such as Mucuna, Shatavari, Ashwagandha, Butea. Ginseng etc have been tested in many laboratories and have proven to correct the male reproductive organs. Men who never have an erection due to some vascular disease are to be referred to a urological specialist to fix the problem. If it is due to some nerve damage, the operation is required. Erectile dysfunction can also be treated using some exercises. Exercises that help building pelvic muscles are said to be beneficial in treating such issues. Pranayama and Yogasanas with internal male enhancement pills can be taken to treat male impotency.

One can get rid of this most embarrassing situation and can boastfully expose the organ in front of sexual partners. Then, all the excuses of hiding the organ and keeping away from sexual acts can be kept at bay!

What are the treatments and drugs to treat Impotence?

What are the treatments and drugs to treat Impotence?

In many cases of impotence, it is a matter of changing blood pressure medication to fix the problem. If other treatments are needed, most physicians will seek treatment ranging from the least invasive to the most invasive. Psychotherapy and behavior modifications may also be considered as a treatment, or, if the case warrants, prescription drugs may be prescribed.

The Food and Drug Administration recently approved several drugs that can assist in most cases of erectile dysfunction. Viagra was approved in 1998, and in 2003, Levitra was allowed on the market, followed by a third medication for erectile dysfunction, Cialis. These drugs work by enhancing the effects of nitric oxide, a chemical that relaxes smooth muscles in the penis during sexual stimulation and allows increased blood flow.

How is Impotence diagnosed or evaluated?

2009-03-22T12:33:00.004+02:00

If you suspect you may be suffering from impotence, or erectile dysfunction, your physician can conduct a series of exams and tests to determine if that is the cause of your erection difficulties.

The physician will begin by reviewing both your medical and sexual history. It is important to be honest with your physician, no matter how embarrassed you feel talking about the subject. Your physician is there to help you, so make sure you give all of the facts.

For example, you may have problems associated with your sexual desires, your ability to maintain an erection, ejaculation or orgasm. Your physician will also review any other medical conditions that you may have that might be the cause of your male impotence, or erectile dysfunction. Drug interference with a man's ability to have an erection accounts for one-fourth of all male impotence cases.

Your physician will also conduct a physical exam. It is possible that your penis is not responding to touching, which could indicate a problem in the nervous system. In other cases, abnormal secondary sex characteristics, such as hair pattern or breast enlargement, can point to hormonal problems. If this is the case, your physician may suspect that your endocrine system is involved.

If your penis has a slight curve or bends to one side, your erection dysfunction could be the result of Peyronie's disease.

If your physician suspects other causes, lab tests will be ordered to help confirm the diagnosis of erectile dysfunction, or male impotence. Tests for systemic diseases include blood counts, urinalysis, lipid profile, and measurements of creatinine and liver enzymes. If your physician suspects there may be a problem with your prostate, he may collect a sample after massaging the prostate, in addition to a routine urine sample. This special sample will contain secretions from the prostate -- and, perhaps, a few clues to the condition. Among patients with chronic bacterial prostatitis, cultures from the post-massage urine sample may be positive for bacteria. If a patient has chronic nonbacterial prostatitis, the sample will usually have high levels of white blood cells, which are a sign of inflammation.

And finally, if your physician suspects that your erectile dysfunction problem may be psychological, a test, which includes an interview and a questionnaire, will reveal certain psychological factors to help uncover the reason for the problem. In addition, the man's sexual partner may also be interviewed, to help determine sexual expectations and perceptions during intercourse.

What are the causes of Impotence?

2009-03-22T12:31:00.002+02:00

What are the causes of Impotence?

When an erection begins, the man's penis becomes filled with blood as blood vessels are enlarged to allow for an increased flow. Impotence, or erectile dysfunction, can sometimes occur when the erection process is interrupted.

For an erection to take place, a precise series of events occur, which begin with nerve impulses in the brain, spinal column and in the area surrounding the penis itself. As those nerve impulses begin to signal interest in sexual activity, the muscles, fibrous tissues, veins and articles respond and an erection takes place. However, if any of those signals are disrupted, it can result in erectile dysfunction instead of an erection.

In some cases, impotence may be caused by a disease, such as diabetes, kidney disease, multiple sclerosis, vascular disease, chronic alcoholism, or neurologic disease. Other possible causes of male impotence include recent surgery, especially radical prostate or bladder surgery for cancer. If any areas surrounding the penis were injured during surgery, problems with erectile dysfunction could result.

Injury to the penis, spinal cord, prostate, bladder and pelvis can lead to erectile dysfunction by harming nerves, smooth muscles, arteries and fibrous tissues of the area around the penis.

Another common cause of male impotence are problems associated with prescription drugs that affect nerve centers. Blood pressure medication, antidepressants, antihistamines, tranquilizers and other prescription drugs can produce erectile dysfunction in men. In still other cases, the cause may be attributed to psychological factors, including stress, anxiety, guilt, depression, low self-esteem, or even fear of sexual failure.

Male impotence can also be caused by problems with the prostate, including an enlarged prostate, a prostate infection or prostate cancer. Every year, more than 2 million American men are diagnosed with prostatitis, a term that means "inflammation of the prostate." A few men with prostatitis have clear signs of a bacterial infection of the prostate. Doctors call this condition bacterial prostatitis. In roughly 90 to 95 percent of cases of prostatitis, however, there's no clear sign of infection. Doctors call this chronic nonbacterial prostatitis or chronic pelvic pain syndrome. Sometimes men suffering from prostate problems will have difficulty getting and sustaining an erection.

What Is Impotence

2009-03-22T12:15:00.003+02:00

What Is Impotence?

Impotence is a disorder of the male reproductive system and is the inability to maintain an erection of the penis.

What Is an Erection?

An erection is dependent on blood flow to the penis, which is triggered by sensory and mental stimulation. With appropriate stimulation, arterial blood flows into the small arteries inside the penis. As the blood vessels in the penis dilate, blood flow increases, and vascular channels called the corpora cavernosa and the corpora spongeosum become engorged, resulting in an erection.

Causes of Impotence

Impotence can be caused by a disruption at any stage in this series of events. Certain diseases, including diabetes and muscular dystrophy can cause impotence. Psychological factors can also lead to impotence. And, impotence can be a side effect of some common medications.
