Male Impotence Treatment

Hippocrates, the father of medicine, said: “There are in fact two things, science and opinion; the former begets knowledge, the latter ignorance”. Those words still ring true today.

Many of the myths and legends about impotence, borne out of ignorance thousands of years ago, still influence our sexual culture. Primitive cultures believed that male virility was intricately interwoven with power, wealth and domination.

So it’s not surprising that beliefs still persist in a number of cultures that to lack virility, or worse still, to be impotent, is to lack the very essence of life. Manhood and the “ability to perform” are inextricably linked, so impotence is viewed as a “lack of manhood”.

Despite the fact that the twentieth century brought about radical changes in gender roles, on ethnic, economic, social and cultural levels, sexuality and impotence are still shrouded in mystery, secrecy and a good deal of confusion.

Myth #1 – “Real men” don’t experience impotence

ALL men over the age of 30 experience impotence as least once in their lifetime. It’s estimated that over 150 million men worldwide have impotence; in fact, reports suggest this figure could be as high as 300 million or more. Estimating the numbers is difficult because less than 2 men in 10 seek treatment for impotence problems.

Impotence (or erectile dysfunction) is defined as the inability to produce and maintain an erection sufficient for sexual intercourse. Impotence is not considered to include lack of libido, inability to ejaculate or achieve orgasm, a lack of strength or the loss of “manhood”.

Myth #2 – Impotence is “all in the mind”

Less than 20% of impotence cases have a primary psychological cause. The majority of men with impotence have an underlying physical condition such as diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure or prostate cancer. Stress, anxiety and loss of self-esteem are often secondary psychological factors that occur if the impotence remains undiagnosed and untreated.

Myth #3 – Impotence is a natural part of growing old

Although it’s evident that the chances of experiencing impotence increase with age, this is largely due to the increased risk of having an underlying physical condition such as diabetes, high blood pressure or heart disease. To compound this factor, a number of medications prescribed for these conditions can cause impotence.

Myth #4 – There is no “cure” for impotence

Although medical science hasn’t come up with a permanent “cure” for impotence, a number of very effective therapies are available. Oral medications such as Viagra have revolutionized the treatment of impotence, however impotence pills don’t work for everyone. Other safe and effective treatments include vacuum pumps, injections and penile implants.

Once the impotence is effectively treated, most men go on to lead active, satisfying sex lives.

Myth #5 – Impotence is a man’s problem

Both partners in a relationship can experience problems when impotence goes untreated. Often failure to communicate and denial of the problem lead to depression, anxiety, and lack of self-esteem for both partners. A tendency to avoid sexual contact can often leave the partner feeling unloved, unattractive and unwanted.

Myth #6 – Impotence is too embarrassing to discuss with anyone

A number of men find it very difficult to discuss any problems they may be experiencing, particularly impotence. Impotence can often be the symptom of an underlying medical condition and won’t simply “go away” if it remains untreated.

Once the condition is diagnosed, suitable treatment can begin immediately and the problem can usually be alleviated.

Myth #7 – Men should know all about sex

The general consensus of opinion is that men instinctively know how to have sex. But clinical studies confirm that impotence can result from lack of knowledge and ignorance about the “mechanics” of sex.

A common misconception is that sex is a simple and straightforward process for men. Not true. Many men find it difficult to discuss the subject, and asking questions would reveal their ignorance and lack of knowledge and possibly threaten their masculinity. Media images of the virile male in action only serve to further alienate those men who don’t understand “the basics”.

Talking to a specialist counselor or therapist will quickly clear up any misconceptions and help overcome problems due to lack of knowledge.

Myth #8 – Men always want sex

The myth that men are always “ready, willing and able” is simply not true. The commonly held misconception of the “dominant male” has been proven to damage the sexual, physical and psychological wellbeing of a number of men.

A recent Swedish study on sexuality and marriage carried out on 286 couples of varying ages found that men who perceived themselves to be the “dominant male” were more likely to experience temporary impotence if sex was requested by their partner, when they weren’t in the mood.

Healthy relationships should be about equal partnerships, good communication and respect for the feelings of both individuals. It’s not uncommon for one partner to want more frequent sexual activity, and sexual desires can fluctuate between partners and at various times. Discussing these issues reasonably and rationally so that each partner understands the needs of the other helps maintain a happy and healthy sexual relationship.

Looking at the psychology of impotence is a little like taking a trip down the Amazon during the wet season. It’s a subject fraught with hidden currents, treacherous shallows and wide meanderings.

There is no doubt that Viagra, the little blue pill that revolutionized the treatment of impotence has had a profound effect on men who have erectile dysfunction. But simply finding a “quick fix” for impotence doesn’t overcome other problems that may have been there before treatment began.

Overcoming impotence often gives men unrealistic expectations about their ability to immediately cure their emotional problems as well as their physical ones.

The Psychology of Impotence

Sadly it seems that for a large number of men, their ability to get an erection and have sex is viewed as an integral part of their masculinity and potency. So it’s no wonder that the onset of impotence, even when triggered by an underlying physical condition, can produce psychological problems that further impact on the impotence.

Performance anxiety is a very real issue for most men at one time or another. The fear of not being able to perform adequately, dissatisfaction with penis size, and self-consciousness about body appearance can all lead to the very thing that most men wish to avoid – failure to get an erection.

So, when this anxiety is coupled with the knowledge there may have been an occasional episode of impotence in the past, or when erectile dysfunction has been in existence for a period of time, this anxiety is multiplied. From a strictly physiological viewpoint, anxiety can effectively prevent a man from becoming aroused and getting and maintaining an erection.

And performance anxiety isn’t the only issue men have to contend with. The highest risk category for the onset of impotence is the so-called “baby-boomers” – men born in the period from 1946 to 1964. Most of these men are in their peak performance years in terms of their job, status, family and financial success. And all these factors lead to an increase in stress levels and anxiety – one more reason for impotence to occur.

Taking a pill may temporarily overcome the impotence, but relieving the self-doubt and mental stress, which may have been brooding for any number of years, is harder to alleviate. The ability to regain quality of life by restoring sexual function is viewed by some men as a near miracle and by others with fear and trepidation.

It’s important to honestly assess how you feel now and compare it to how you felt before the impotence treatment began. Easier said than done, but unless the negative feelings tied to the impotence can be viewed objectively, it’s akin to the stories people who have gained a great deal of weight often say “I feel like a thin person trapped in a fat person’s body”. For men it’s “I feel like an impotent man trapped in a body that now has full sexual function.”

The psychology of impotence is about viewing your new life – with sexual function – as a new beginning, complete with all the new emotions that may be experienced. There’s no point in trying to “recapture” your life the way it was prior to impotence, regardless of whether that was only months ago or many years ago. Time moves on, and trying to live out life the way it used to be is a sure-fire bet for failure.

The Psychology of Impotence in a Relationship

Finding an effective treatment to restore erectile function is not a guarantee that you will find an effective treatment for a relationship in need of psychological, physical or emotional repair. And in most situations it’s not a “cure” for intimacy, romance or monogamy.

The restoration of erectile function can quickly and unexpectedly alter the dynamics of a relationship, particularly when impotence has been a long-term problem. A profound, and often immediate, change in male sexual function is no small matter, and cannot be dealt with in the time it takes to swallow a little pill.

We live in an age of “quick fixes”, and while it’s true that impotence medications can quickly help overcome physiological problems, it’s the couple who must resolve their relationship issues. And that takes dedication, effort – and time.

The renewal of sexual function is viewed by a number of men as being given a “second chance”. They don’t take their restored function for granted and are usually willing and eager to explore their feelings and their relationship with renewed hope and vigor.

Sadly, that’s not always the case. Many men who have dealt with impotence for a long period of time find that being able to resume intercourse is not the solution for a disintegrating relationship. New and unfamiliar pressures can be exerted on both partners and it’s often a time when a couple need to seriously evaluate the health of their relationship.

Evaluating your relationship and your sex life in an honest and candid way can have an impact on both of you.

THE MEANING OF SEX IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP

It’s no secret that men and women react differently to sex – before, during and afterwards.

As part of the solid foundation between two people, it can bring intimacy, joy and trust to each partner. However, as the sole pillar in a faltering relationship, it can be the weak link. In between these two standards is an entire universe of emotions and experiences that are unique to each couple.

Think about your feelings regarding your relationship:

* How happy are you with your partner?
* How satisfied are you with your sex life?
* How satisfied is your partner with your sex life?
* Is your relationship based on friendship, mutual understanding and trust, family commitments, or sex?
* How well do you both communicate your feelings about all aspects of your relationship?

Remember that a mutually satisfying sex life is an integral part of a healthy relationship. When the physical aspects of your relationship are on track, you create an experience that is greater than the two of you, and one that adds to your overall mental and physical contentment.

IDENTIFYING SEXUAL PROBLEMS AND ANXIETIES

Close examination of your sexual partnership with a view to solving any problems that exist is an extremely delicate matter. Being able to openly and candidly express the things that make you uncomfortable, cause embarrassment, or deny you pleasure requires a great deal of tact and diplomacy. Communicating your desires, the things that bring you pleasure and what it takes to bring you sexual fulfillment can be equally embarrassing to express.

Good communication is the key to a happy and healthy sexual relationship. Being able to speak frankly about what makes you happy and what doesn’t requires courage and empathy – the ability to say how you feel and what you want without upsetting your partner or causing them to go on the defensive.

In many cases, couples who have experienced communication problems often seek the help of a mediator or sex therapist to help them clearly and objectively state their case. Having a third party present in such situations can help diffuse tension and ease any difficulties partners may have communicating their feelings to each other.

Some of the situations where sexual problems can arise include:

* When one partner desires sex more frequently than the other.
* When there is dissatisfaction or a lack of pleasure in your sex life.
* When one partner feels they give more than they receive.
* When there is guilt, fear or anxiety about sexual activity.
* When your preferred sexual activities are at odds with each other.

The psychology of impotence is about sometimes stepping into uncharted waters. It requires confidence and the experience that comes with learning, understanding and embracing your own sexual desires and those of your partner.

We’re not all mind readers, so communicating openly and honestly, and defining what satisfies you sexually is the first step. Listening to your partner in an equally honest and open manner is just as important. Empathy, patience, perseverance and compromise are the markers of a highly successful sexual relationship.

Impotence is a very general illness in men. The psychological factors involved with illnesses are important, and in considering illnesses that affect people in this way it must be realized what the core reason for the sensitivity is. With every ailment that one gets, there is a certain amount of distress.

It is known that there are a significantly number of people who suffer with impotence in other words in a common condition arising because of known factors. However, when one gets it the natural response is worry and becoming sensitive. This is because most people assume that their condition is going to be a permanent condition; a thought that is also very natural (fearing the worst).

Men usually fear the worst when they realize that they suffer from impotence. This is because of the natural sensitivity towards their sexuality or masculinity; without it, men are usually at a loss, and this is because of their animal instinct. They are extremely sensitive to the issue, and if they suffer from impotence, they are keen to try almost any remedy to cure them.

Indeed, with the newer treatments available for curing impotence there is more hope and more enthusiasm as well. People with impotence tend to remain sensitive until they are cured, and even during treatment they feel this way.

Impotence and Exercise Link

Since its discovery, Viagra has been the stock remedy for all manner of libido related ills, from total loss of ability to intermittent and temporary problems with ‘getting a raise’!

In such a scenario, the cause of the problem may arise (!!) from an area of the body quite far removed — from the heart, or the brain. And those on medication would do well to remember that mixing nitrates, the popular medication for many heart problems, with viagra can cause extreme drop in blood pressure leading to cardio- circulatory shock. In fact, the cocktail can prove lethal.

The good news is that sexual dysfunction may not be as untreatable as doctors previously thought. Recently, a group of Italian researchers found that there is one safe treatment for the problem: regular exercise. The high level of stimulation suggested by the phrase ‘blood coursing through the veins’, does have physical manifestations to support it. Men as well as women require good blood flow to the genitals for arousal and erections. And can there be anything better or more effective than exercise to keep the blood circulating?

In an another large, long-term study, researchers found that men who burned at least 200 calories a day through exercise were less likely to become impotent, than men who were inactive.

Researchers monitored the lifestyle of nearly 600 men, who initially had no problems with impotence, over a period of 9 years. Examining a variety of lifestyle factors believed to contribute to impotence, e.g. smoking, heavy drinking, inactivity and obesity they found that men who had been active to begin with, as well as those who took up exercise during the study period, were at lower risk of experiencing impotence.

Occasional impotence is normal. At some point in his life, every man will experience difficulty, sometimes temporary, in achieving and maintaining an erection. But persistent, long-term difficulty may be indicative of a physical cause, and should prompt you to seek medical advice.

In fact, impotence can be an early warning sign of coronary artery disease, since the penis is more sensitive to slow-downs in blood flow than is the heart. (Doppler ultrasound scanning is an imaging technique which can now be used to measure blood flow to the penis).

But, men take heart! Exercise may protect you from impotence the same way it can prevent heart attacks; by keeping your blood vessels clear.

Just 30 minutes a day of moderate aerobic activity, such as walking or stair climbing, accumulated in short bursts, can do the trick. The American Heart Association also recommends weight training or trying proven stress-busters such as yoga and tai chi, which are increasingly used in cardiac rehabilitation. A study on the effects of bicycling, found that 40 minutes of bicycling 3 times a week increased sexual functioning by 76%. Keeping your arteries clear may well be the way to rock solid erections.

Another aspect of a good sex regimen (& to ward off impotence) is proper diet. This would involve eating lots of fruits and vegetables, grains and legumes. Stick to a low calorie diet, getting not more than 20% of your total calories from fat. To quote Julie Walsh, MRSD, spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association, ” A diet that’s healthy for you overall will be healthy for your sex life – period”. The effectiveness of so called aphrodisiac foods is yet to be confirmed. But if, like us, you are fond of oysters, seafood and asparagus, go ahead, they are low in calories and can put you in the right frame of mind.

Impotence can also occur as a side effect of drugs, including anti-depressants, so avoid taking medications without consulting a doctor.

Men who do all of the above things and still have problems with impotence, should consult a competent naturally-oriented physician, to investigate other possible causes. Strangely, only 1 out of 10 people affected actually do so. Impotence is after all, more of a symptom that needs to be treated than a disease in itself! Impotence affects about a quarter of men by the age of 65, and there is no cure. So the most important thing we can do is to PREVENT it!

Unfortunately, not only does impotence have physical manifestations, it can have a depressing effect on male psyche, striking as it does at the intrinsic ‘manhood’ of the male. This tendency towards depression, too, can be countered by the proven mood enhancing effects of exercise. After a study of 156 severely depressed men and women over 50, Duke University researchers suggested that 16 weeks of aerobic exercise may be as effective in alleviating depression as a 16-week regimen of antidepressant drugs.

Exercise provides a balancing effect also on another area which may negatively impact on sexual performance – the mind. In many cases, impotence is the result of psychological causes rather than physical ones. In such cases, the relaxing and tension-freeing properties of exercise will contribute to the more conducive state of mind that is essential for good sexual performance.

Exercise, follow a good diet, keep yourself tension free. These simple steps will not only ward off possible impotence, but also improve your health in every way. Remember, too, if you are already experiencing some symptoms, that in most cases the causes can be treated.

And if nothing works, all manner of physical aids are now available to help achieve and maintain an erection. All said and done, the outlook for impotence is good.

Impotence can also be called Erectile Dysfunction. It refers to the inability of a man to maintain an erection during sex. It can include a reduced sense of sexual excitement, which in turn leads to a loss of an erection.

Getting An Erection and Love-Making

A man must be sufficiently aroused by one or more means to enjoy a firm erection. The arousal can be psychological or physical or even both together.

Generally the method of stimulation required to achieve arousal can be what a man views or feels. Also the utilisation of sensual or erotic language can have the desired effect too. On the other hand it can be his imagination producing thoughts and images that are of a sexual nature. Many men enjoy a combination of the both fantasy and reality.

Erections That Are Involuntary

It is well known that men get a type of erection that can be referred to as an involuntary erection. In other words an erection that he has not deliberately set out to have. A man may often notice he has an erection in bed in the morning and just before emptying his bladder. During the night the bladder has been filling with urine and this has in turn pressed on the prostate gland. Stimulating the prostate gland brings sexual arousal and this results in an erection.

There will be other times when a man gets an erection that is involuntary. For instance, a man can be sexually aroused when in the company of a person who he finds attractive sometimes. He will not necessarily want to have an erection but because he is sexually stimulated there is a good possibility that he will experience an erection anyway.

How Does the Body Achieve An Erection?

Inside the un-erect penis there are three empty chambers. These chambers fill with blood and the penis becomes stiff and erect. The penis grows longer and gets wider too.

When sexual stimulation (physical or imagined) or involuntary stimulation is present, the brain sends a message to increase the blood pressure in the body and to send blood to enlarge the penis. The three chambers in the penis fill with blood and the penis becomes hard and erect.

For the duration of sexual arousal, the penis will stay enlarged and blood is stopped from escaping from the penis by muscles at the base.

Interestingly the nervous systems of the body play an important part in all of this. The parasympathetic and the sympathetic nervous system are the two in question. Usually only one of these systems dominates at any one time. However to achieve an erection the two systems work together.

This information can provide a better idea of how impotence or erectile dysfunction arises. If a man experiences anxiety during sex it can alter the balance between the parasympathetic and the sympathetic nervous system and lead to the loss of an erection.

In summary, impotence or erectile dysfunction is the lack of a lasting erection through to ejaculation. An erection is most often lost just before or during penetration and sometimes in the act of putting a condom on.
