Impotence can happen to any male. This does not mean that he is a man no more.
This is one fact that must be accepted before one starts talking about impotence.
What is impotence?
Impotence in simple terms is the inability to start, and sustain an erection for sufficient satisfactory sexual performance. Impotence and erectile dysfunction(ED) are synonymous in spite of the fact that the term includes premature ejaculation and low sexual desire as well. The causes for impotence are many:
- Vascular diseases: as a side effect of heart disorders, the blood pressure cannot be sustained normally by the capillaries of the penis causing impotence.
- Neurological diseases: due to nerve disorders the brain or the muscles are unable to receive or transmit appropriate messages to the penis to maintain a strong erection.
- Hormonal changes: the male hormone testosterone controls the sexual activities. Any hormonal imbalance will result in either a hypo or hyper activity. The hypo activity results in impotence.
- Psychological factors: Due to stress, anxiety, depression, low self-belief, fear of sexual failure and guilt could also result in erectile dysfunction.
- Surgery: those men who have had neurological or vascular surgery at any time in life might have a possible tendency to turn impotent
- Other factors: diseases like diabetes, kidney diseases, multiple sclerosis, atherosclerosis can cause erectile dysfunction. There is estimated to be a high incidence of ED among chronic alcoholics and heavy smokers as well. It might be hereditary or inborn cases too.
