Information on Impotence

Impotence affects an estimated 18 million men in the U.S. alone. Impotence, commonly referred to as erectile dysfunction, is the inability to achieve and sustain an erection suitable for sexual intercourse. Impotence is not considered normal at any age and is different from other problems that interfere with sexual intercourse, such as lack of sexual desire and problems with ejaculation and orgasm.

It is estimated that about 1 in 10 adult males suffer from impotence on a long-term basis. A much more common problem that affects the majority of men at some point in their life is the occasional failure to achieve an erection, which can occur for a variety of reasons, such as from drinking too much alcohol or from being extremely tired.

Failure to achieve an erection less than 20% of the time is not unusual and impotence treatment, impotence drugs, and impotence remedies are rarely needed. Failure to achieve an erection more than 50% of the time, however, generally indicates there is a problem requiring impotence treatment, impotence drugs, or impotence remedies.

In order to achieve an erection three conditions must occur: The nerves to the penis must be functioning properly; the blood circulation to the penis must be adequate; there must be a stimulus from the brain. If there is something interfering with any or all of these conditions, a full erection will be prevented. Impotence treatment should be considered at that point.

Common causes of male impotence include diseases that affect blood flow, such as atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries); nerve diseases, psychological factors, such as stress, depression, and performance anxiety; and injury to the penis. Chronic illness, certain medications and a condition called Peyronie's disease (scar tissue in the penis) can also cause male impotence. Information on Peyronie's disease can also be found at www.urologychannel.com

For people who are at risk of developing erectile dysfunction due to personal behavior, such as drinking too much alcohol, steps may be taken to prevent its occurrence. However, other causes of male impotence may not be preventable.

The type of medical specialist who treats erectile dysfunction will depend on the cause of the impotence problem. Based on your family's medical history as well as your own medical history and current health, your doctor may treat you with oral medications such as Viagra. If this fails, he or she may refer you to an urologist or psychologist.

If you suspect you may have erectile dysfunction, see your doctor. He or she can perform a variety of tests to identify what is causing your problem and refer you to a specialist if needed. Once the cause of the impotence problem is identified, there are several impotence treatments, impotence drugs, and impotence remedies to consider.

Psychological factors are responsible for 10%-20% of all cases of psychological impotence. It is often a secondary reaction to an underlying physical cause. In some cases, the psychological effects of erectile dysfunction may stem from childhood abuse or sexual trauma. However, the most common psychological causes of psychological impotence include Stress, Anxiety, Guilt, Depression, Low Self-Esteem, and Indifference.

All men at one time or another will experience psychological Impotence. Only if the problem becomes persistent -- occurs more than 50% of the time -- should you be concerned and consider seeking medical advice and treatment. For men whose erectile dysfunction is caused by psychological problems, therapy may be needed.

What's EFFECTIVE? What is the difference between new impotence medications such as Cialis, Levitra, and Viagra?

Not much. New impotence medications such as Cialis, Levitra and Viagra work by a similar mechanism to cause erection. There are subtle differences in how long the drug works and how quickly it works. Levitra works a little longer than Viagra and takes effect a little faster than Viagra. They both take effect in about 30 minutes. With Levitra, the effects last for about 5 hours; the effects with Viagra last up to 4 hours.

According to some experts, Cialis takes a bit longer to work, but the effects last for much longer -

Follow the directions on your new impotence medication label carefully and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part that you do not understand. Take these drugs exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor. Do not take these drugs more than once a day.
