Male Impotence: Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis And Treatment

Satisfied sex life is the most important part of a relationship for both men and women. Unfortunately, not everyone is able to experience the pleasure of satisfying sexual life. Today, millions of men suffer from erectile dysfunction and this deprives them as well as their partner of a happy sex life.

Erectile dysfunction is a condition in which a man fails to hold his erection long enough to satisfy himself and his partner. When a man gets sexually aroused either through sensory or mental stimulation, his brain sends signals to the fibrous tissues in the penis which allows them to relax and allow more blood to flow in the penis. When the penis fills with blood, it hardens up and erection takes place. Erectile dysfunction happens when the penis does not receive sufficient amount of blood. This is a frustrating situation for men who are suffering erectile dysfunction.

A man can encounter erectile dysfunction on account of several physical and/or psychological factors. The most common physical causes behind erectile dysfunction are injuries to the genitals, side effects of prescribed medicines, diabetes, vascular and heart problems, diseases related to nervous system, kidney and liver diseases, obesity, smoking, drugs like cocaine, heroin, marijuana, alcoholism and, many more.  The Psychological causes, which are not very common and are easier to treat, are performance anxiety, relationship problems, stress, fear, depression and guilt.

Diagnosing Erectile Dysfunction

The problem of erectile dysfunction varies from each person. The doctor may conduct a physical examination to determine the potential causes such as possible injuries, penis sensitivity towards sexual invitations, etc. Medical history of the patient may also give the doctor a clue about the cause of the problem.
