Vascular impotence - what is it, why does it occur, how to treat it?

Erectile dysfunction can develop for a variety of reasons. In adulthood, the onset of a problem is often associated with a malfunction of the vascular system - blood flow to the penis and scrotum decreases and its outflow increases. Treatment of vascular impotence is a complex of measures, including taking medications, exercise, diet and normalization of the day and night regime.

• Injuries to the abdomen and groin can cause vascular pathology in the pelvic region;
• Surgical intervention in the genitourinary system provokes the appearance of venous shunts;
• Abuse of smoking, alcohol, fatty and fried foods with the addition of hot spices leads to an increase in the venous lumen;
• Age-related changes, a sedentary lifestyle, chronic lack of sleep, a genetic predisposition also lead to disorders of the vascular system.

Symptoms and signs

When a man is diagnosed with vascular impotence, symptoms appear slowly and progressively, in contrast to erectile dysfunction caused by psychological problems. For a long time, the disease does not make itself felt in any way, then minor disruptions may occur, however, over time the situation worsens, regardless of the conditions for sexual intercourse and the severity of the exciting factors.
