When a man decides for whatever reason that his penis is not responding like it should or like it used to, he then believes he has impotence problems. Of course at that time he is thinking that only a few men and they are much older ever get impotence problems. So he does what he can and does not talk about it to anyone. It is way to embarrassing to be the only young man with impotence problems or mens issues.
When impotence problems first came to light it was over twenty years ago and the majority of men were suffering from psychological problems like; stress, anxiety, depression and anger. There were very few physical reasons found for impotence and there was no drug type of treatment even created at that point, so much of the treatments was counseling and directed to the mental issues.
The treatment of impotence in the last 20 years has change incredibly and in many ways. No longer is impotence looked at as a disease, but more as a side effect of other things. Yes the mental issues are still apart of most treatments for they seem to combine with the physical. For instance you drink and that night you have a problem getting an erection. The next night you try again but this time not only do you drink, but you worry. “Will I get an erection?” The physical combines with the mental to make it twice as hard to meet your “performance expectations.”
It has been shown over the last 20 years that the three man causes of impotence are:
* Diabetes-50% of men with this disease will be impotent
* Heart disease-These men cannot take the “impotence pills”
* Obesity-Your body is more likely to work the “necessary organs” first
There are still today and yesterday many things that add stress to our life. Being underpaid, under appreciated and over worked is not the best of aids to a great sex life. But it is what we in this society have to deal with. We must learn ways of coping. That is why counseling should go along with any physical treatment that you decide.
In your treatment objective it is important not to just fix the problem. When you take a Viagra pill, or use an external aide to help you get erect, don’t just stop there. Yes the pill worked and you are able to perform. But that should not be the end of it. If obesity is the problem then you should think of losing weight. It is not a quick fix, but it can help the other problems that obesity is linked to such as; heart disease, increased risk of cancers, sleeping problems and a general lack of energy
The other choices of treatment available are vacuum pump, tension ring and injection, each with their own pros and cons.
Men tend to lean towards the fix it right now treatment of Viagra or Cialis. If you take anything from this article on impotence problems, let it be that communication and knowledge are what is important. Your problem is not your own. You have a partner and talking about it might be half the cure. Know that you are not alone in this and that other men are feeling the same. One final thought; “Intimacy is not just about sexual intercourse.
