Impotence known as Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is a condition wherein th
e male has difficulty in sustaining an erection, hence difficulty in having intercourse. This may be caused by health factors such as stress, diabetes, and heart problems. There are those among us who get their facts straight about ED and understand it, by asking a physician and reading relevant material on it. However, there are a few people who totally fear impotence or ED for all the wrong reasons.
Let’s face it- Our world is still busy judging a man's self-worth by his sexual prowess. Men continue to feel they have to prove their masculinity with sexual performance. If problems arise, particularly those related to impotence, most men begin to lose their sense of self-worth. They hide in their personal caves and just find it difficult to come to terms with what they see as a “failing”.
Research shows that it is men in their early forties who are most likely to experience impotence. Going into a shell and becoming non-communicative is no way to deal with this problem. Instead, the right thing to do is to seek help and get your life back on track with professional counselling and
impotence medication.
Impotence leaves men perplexed and even alarmed. They become uncommunicative and withdrawn. It is difficult for them to disclose their fears. It will definitely involve a degree of emotional conflict, which can leave both parties badly damaged. Impotence can go on to wreck several marriages but it will only be a hindrance to a marriage if both persons do not communicate toward a solution. Marriage experts say that working together to battle ED, now that there are many options for treatment, will actually be a means to strengthen a relationship.
The best way to approach the physical condition of impotence is to confront the issue by being honest with your partner.
Treatment for impotence depends on a number of factors, including your health and physical tolerance, and your personal choice Following are a few effective solutions for you to try, when the pill is not the right answer for you:
Impotence Vacuum Pumps: They provide a safe, non-invasive and drug-free treatment for male impotence.. A medical study in Europe revealed that as many as 43% of men over the age of 50 chose impotence vacuum pumps as their preferred choice of medical treatment. Men pick the impotence vacuum pump for two reasons: familiarity and to avoid health issues related to other alternatives, such as heart conditions, high blood pressure and diabetes. Most impotence vacuum pumps now come in manual, battery-operated and electronic models. You get immediate results. Results of this pump are not affected by food or alcohol consumption.
Impotence Injections: These have been a successful treatment for impotence for a long time now. A drug called Papaverine produces erections when injected directly into the penis. It dilates and relaxes the blood vessels and enables the penis to engorge with blood, thereby creating an erection. With medical advancements, several other active ingredients are now being used in impotent injections. One of these is alprostadil. Prostaglandin, used in combination with Papaverine makes for a potent solution.
Penile Implants: Again, a safe and effective solution! Penile implants include surgically implanted prostheses that are internal. The surgery takes 30 minutes. Penile implants do not in any way deteriorate the quality of sexual intercourse, sexual desire, orgasm or ejaculation that men had prior to the implant. They do not affect sperm production either. However, one thing every man must know about a penile implant is that once inserted, it permanently impairs the erectile tissue, and there is no way an erection can happen without the aid of the implant.
MUSE (Medicated Urethral System for Erection): This is the latest treatment there is for male impotence. In MUSE, a pellet, as small as a rice grain, is inserted with a specially designed plastic plunger into the urethra. The pellet contains alprostadil, which dilates the blood vessels and creates an erection.
It’s of course your decision, but it's best to speak with your doctor first. Compare all available
impotence treatments and then make an informed decision about the best form of treatment for you.
