Male Impotence

Many effects are felt by couples where the man is afflicted with male impotence. Sometimes this can go for many months or even years but eventually, no matter how strong the relationship is, if the problem is not dealt with it could destroy the relationship. Although there could be many underlying reasons for the male impotence, most of the time something can be done to correct the situation.

The term male impotence may have many connotations but is actually means when the erection cannot be maintained long enough to initiate sexual intercourse but the correct definition is erectile dysfunction. BTW, I found a site about Valencia escorts in Spanish: escorts Valencia. A man who suffers from impotence may be unable to have an erection altogether, be unable to maintain it for more than a short period, or may be able to have an erection sometimes and not at other times. Approximately 10 to 15 million American men suffer from some form of impotence but the good news is that it is easy to understand and can be treated in all age groups.

Understanding how the penis becomes erect can help to appreciate the problem of impotence; a man's penis is full of a sponge like tissue with a little muscle which is full of tiny blood vessels. Sexual thoughts or some type of physical stimulation, not necessarily of the penis, create signals that are sent from the nerves allowing blood to enter the penis. The sudden flow of blood into this absorbent tissue makes it hard and erect but this erection can be lost either through interruption or the sex act ending where the muscles in the penis contract and force all the blood out.

Often, if the signals to the nerves are blocked then blood will not flow into the penis thereby creating impotence. A number of conditions and illnesses can cause this like diabetes or alcohol to name just two.

If a man has had any type of surgical procedure to his bladder, urethra or prostate then sometimes there is damage to the nerves but disorders of the blood or cardiovascular system can also have the same effect. Incidents of stress, anxiety or other psychological problems can also result in erectile dysfunction.

Once the condition is admitted by the person in question, the next step is to visit the doctor and get a professional opinion for the cause which the doctor may be able to treat immediately. It is not uncommon for older men to exhibit signs of impotence but exercise, healthy eating to lose weight and giving up smoking usually help.
