Impotence: Symptoms, causes and treatments

Impotence occurs when there is a problem in maintaining an erection, experiencing low libido or when sexual stamina is inconsistent. The problem in getting and maintaining erections is actually known as erectile dysfunction. The prescription impotence treatments available today namely Viagra, Cialis and Levitra, are treatments for erectile dysfunction and fail to treat problems such as low libido, lesser staying power and low sexual energy.

Impotence symptoms

One of the simplest ways you will know if you suffer from impotence is to monitor how long you can maintain an erection for. If you get nocturnal erections (erections when you sleep) you might not be suffering from impotence or erectile dysfunction, but a temporary problem due to some physical or psychological issues. Also if you feel tired all the time, don’t get turned on easily or don’t feel like having regular sex you might be suffering from other problems. It's important to find out the cause of these problems, as this helps your doctor to decide which impotence treatment is suitable for you.

Impotence causes

There are many factors that lead to impotence, physical as well as psychological; ageing, recent surgery, hormonal disorders, arterial damage, depression, performance anxiety, alcohol, drugs, obesity and smoking are some causes of impotence. Psychological factors can be brought about by nervousness, depression or performance anxiety, which may require you to seek medical help or psychotherapy. This might not give you erections, but it may help fight the root causes. Doctors may prescribe impotence treatment drugs in addition to counselling to treat your erection problems. However, if your problem is brought about by poor blood flow to the penis due to certain medical conditions and lifestyle habits like smoking, you might be prescribed impotence treatment drugs.

Impotence treatments

There are many impotence treatments available on the market. These treatments are either available on prescription or over the counter. Prescription impotence treatments are clinically approved and therefore, safer to use whereas there's no clinical backing for natural impotence treatments. The most popular impotence treatments are oral drugs, Viagra, Cialis and Levitra. All these 3 impotence treatment drugs are available on prescription and used by millions of men to treat their erection problems, irrespective of the cause of their problem. However, these drugs only help you in getting and maintaining erections and don’t boost your sex desire or energy levels.
