MALE IMPOTENCE COMPLETE GUIDE

Impotence occurs when a man has difficulty with either getting an erection or keeping one for long enough to allow satisfactory sexual activity. It's one of the most common sexual problems and affects around 2.3 million men in the UK. Half of all men over the age of 40 will experience it at some point in their lives. It becomes more common and severe as men get older. However, only about 10 percent of affected men seek help.

Impotence  or  an erectile dysfunction  is a case in which a man is unable to have and / or to maintain an erection and is therefore unable to have sexual intercourse. Medical treatment for impotence depends on its cause.

Arteriogenic Where the arteries supplying blood to the penis do not bring in enough blood to cause an erection. This can occur because of a narrowing of the arteries such as occurs in the elderly, diabetics and those with high blood pressure or because of injury to the genital region which causes a block in the artery to the penis.

What are the causes of Impotence? When an erection begins, the man's penis becomes filled with blood as blood vessels are enlarged to allow for an increased flow. Impotence, or erectile dysfunction, can sometimes occur when the erection process is interrupted.
