The definition of male impotency is the long term inability to achieve and maintain an erection, a situation which is now thought to affect around 30 million American men between the ages of eighteen and 70. doctors have for many years believed this to be a purely psychological disorder but it is now thought that up to three quarters of cases could be caused by a physical problem. Although as men get older it becomes more difficult to get and maintain an erection, a individual’s general health, lifestyle, medication and mental wellbeing all have a part in the equation. Physical impotency happens when there is a condition with any of the systems needed to get or maintain an erection.

However, the underlying problems, be they medical, medicinal or lifestyle, can be cured and once that is done so can the male impotency condition. Another cause of male impotence that affects the blood flow to the penis and consequently an erection is hardening of the arteries. Just as easily, this condition can be caused by damage to the nerves that control blood flow to the penis. Strangely, there is also a connection between diabetes and male impotency as a quarter of males with diabetes are also impotent. There are many other medical conditions that can affect male impotence including: Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis and injuries to the spianl column. There are also occasions where a surgical procedure to the prostate, colon, rectal area and bladder also cause male impotency owing to damage to the nerves and blood vessels done during surgery. Medication designed to help men with high blood pressure, diabetes, depression and other conditions can also interfere with nerves or blood circulation to the penis and be the grounds for male impotence. Strangely, being a tobacco user does not make you any more probable to suffer male impotency than that of a non-smoker.

Although that does alter if a smoker suffers with other health issues, then the chances of him having male impotency increases against a that of a non-smoker. In addition to this, if a coronary condition is added to the equation, more than twice the amount of males who smoke, will suffer from male impotency, compared to those who do not smoke. Generally, alcohol induced male impotence, which disrupts hormone levels in addition to nerve impairment, can be cured once the person has stopped drinking alcohol although a for quarter of males who suffer with this, the impotence will be permanent. Sometimes if a male is suffering from stress, work related or otherwise, this can affect his execution, and he may not be able to attain an erection at all.

Male impotency problems that are get older related can more often than not be rectified when the person realizes and realises the changes that are happening to his body are quite normal. It is not uncommon for men as they mature to demand more manual foreplay before they are able to attain an erection. They may also have less firm erections, take longer to ejaculate and need more time between erections. Nevertheless, whatever the cause of impotence, in most cases, male impotence can be successfully treated.
