Introduction According to a recent survey in USA 31% men and 43% women suffer from couple infertility problems and in 40% couples dealing with this problem cannot conceive because of the man facing impotency problems. Sexual impotency in males can be alleviated today easily with medical intervention and no longer a topic of embarrassment! Causes of male impotency Erectile dysfunction or male impotency can be caused due to many reasons which are mostly triggered due to unhealthy lifestyles or fast paced stressful life. Lets take a look at some of the most common reasons due to which male impotency creeps in. Physical: * Men suffering from vascular disease often have hardened arteries leading to the penis which stops the blood flow to the penis resulting in erectile dysfunction. * One out of every 4 impotent men has diabetes which causes nerve deterioration. In some of these cases diet restriction and controlling blood sugar can decrease impotency. But permanent nerve damage can result in chronic problem. * Men suffering from nerve related disease like Parkinsons disease, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries can suffer from male impotency. * Surgery to remove cancer from prostate, rectum, colon or bladder area can damage the blood vessels controlling erection. * Hormonal imbalance in the body like having abnormal levels of testosterone can result in erectile dysfunction. Medication: Prescription medicines of blood pressure, spinal injury, depression, diabetes and other certain drugs can cause temporary impotence as they often tend to interfere with the blood vessels and nerve impulses leading to the penis. Alcoholism and smoking addiction Excessive intake of alcohol and smoking addiction can damage the nerve cells and cause impotency. Psychological: * Stress and depression may result in erectile dysfunction in men. * Viagra: the new age breakthrough in male impotency * Viagra is most commonly prescribed to treat male impotency or better known as erectile dysfunction (ED). It is most interesting to note that sidenafil citrate the original ingredient which is prevalent in Viagra was originally created to treat high blood pressure. In 1993 Pfizer Pharmaceuticals started working on this ingredient and piloted the medicine on 3000 men with varying degrees of impotence. The results were astonishing! 48% men with severe impotence were able to experience arousal and 70% men with milder problems had success on using the pill. Precaution is needed while using Viagra or even before using the drug * One must be examined thoroughly and a complete medical history should be checked to rule out certain disorders in health like high or low blood pressure, coronary problems, eye troubles, skin cancer or other cancer etc. This is only because the side effects of Viagra will be very severe if one pops the pill randomly without a doctors intervention. * Men who use medicines containing nitrates must not take the pill as it can abnormally lower the blood pressure of the body. * Viagra is definitely and should not be used by women or children. * Side effects of Viagra can be mild and temporary like headache, flushing, urinary tract infection, sensitivity to light or certain colors like blue and green, stomach troubles, diarrhea and stuffy nose. For more detailed information on the effects of the drug on the body the user must always check with the doctors or health care providers. Dealing with impotency Most men can deal with this problem if they keep an open attitude towards it. It is necessary to keep a healthy lifestyle and good food habits to avoid stress, harmful addiction and male impotency. If you suspect the creeping and persisting problem of ED you should immediately contact health physician for proper medication. Remember Viagra treats ED but does not cure impotency. |
