Suffering from impotency can be an emotionally stressful
situation. If you are in this position then the most important
thing that you need to know is that it is not uncommon, it is
reported that the condition can affect as much as 10 percent of
the male population at some point in their lives. Impotency can
affect men of any age and is usually the symptom of an
underlying psychological or physical cause. It is also important
to recognize that modern treatments will almost always provide a
solution.
This article aims to provide an explanation of the various
treatments available for men who suffer from impotence. Should
you be displaying symptoms of impotence then you should visit
your Doctor as soon as possible. Do not put this off through
embarrassment. Doctors deal with these kinds of issues every day
and will respect your situation. Also, the longer that you put
the problem off, the longer it will take to solve. Remember also
to tell your partner or wife. They are not mind-readers and as
anxiety can often be a contributing factor in impotence you do
not want to add to this by causing strife within your
relationship.
Once a Doctor has examined you and considered the various
causes they will test for diabetes. Should this be ruled out the
Doctor will advise on a treatment based up on the causes. These
can be physical or psychological treatments or a combination of
the two; this is entirely dependent on the perceived causes. If
the cause is psychological then you can expect to be offered
general advice or counseling. Advice may be simple things such
as improving your lifestyle by sleeping more, reducing stress or
addressing excess alcohol consumption and stopping smoking.
If the Doctor suspects that relationship issues or other
related anxieties are the cause then psychotherapy or marriage
guidance counseling will probably be recommended. This may also
assist in ruling out potential causes. If the Doctor identifies
a physiological cause then the corresponding treatment will be
recommended. There are currently three main methods to assist in
treating men with impotence caused in this way.
Doctors will usually prescribe oral tablets in the first
instance. Testosterone tablets may be taken if a hormonal
imbalance is suspected; otherwise you can expect to be given
sildenafil. This is popularly known as Viagra and works by
increasing blood flow into the penis. The effects are rapid and
can last for around 4 hours. However, there have been many
reported side effects such as headaches, dizziness and visual
problems. In some cases Viagra may adversely react to medication
used to treat heart disease.
In recent years, two alternatives have entered the market.
Cialis (Tadalafil) and Levitra (Vardenafil) both work in the
same way as Viagra but its effects last longer. Although there
are some side effects reported, they do not appear to be as
severe. Some men prefer to solve impotency with the use of
mechanical devices such as a pump. These work by sucking blood
into the penis to create an erection. The effects are not for
very long and are simply for the purpose of intercourse.
If none of the treatments above are successful, then a doctor
may recommend surgery. This is uncommon, but can provide a
solution. This involves the insertion of splints in to the penis
for the purposes of intercourse. Although reported to be
successful by some men, the risks of further complications are
quite high. Bleeding and infection are the main causes of
concern and for this reason surgery is not highly recommended.
