Impotence is also known as erectile dysfunction.
At some point in every man’s life, he will experience impotence. Impotence is normally caused by:
an overconsumption of alcohol
The main symptom of impotence is the inability to achieve or sustain an erection. In most cases this is temporary. However, in the case of impotence, a man is unable to sustain an erection long enough to continue sexual intercourse. Psychological symptoms such as low sex drive, low self-esteem, depression, and guilt may set in. A man feeling he is not adequately pleasing his partner may worsen these symptoms.
When the underlying cause for impotence is treated, the impotence usually subsides. Your doctor will discuss which medication is right for you. There are oral medications designed to help men achieve an erection or improve the longevity of his erection.
These include the use of mechanical aids, such as a penis pump or a penile implant. Your doctor will explain how to use both mechanical aids.
You should consider cutting down drinking or smoking to reduce the risk of impotence and future health complications.
