Impotence

Erectile dysfunction is a problem that is rarely spoken about out loud, however, it occurs quite often. Recently, impotence occurs already at a young age. It is characterized by insufficient filling of the male genital organ for sexual intercourse, which manifests itself in a small volume, the absence of the necessary tension and hardness.

The disorder is associated with organic problems, such as diabetes. But it can also be caused by psychological disorders that are reversible.

Often, this violation is called impotence - a word of Latin origin meaning impotence. Modern doctors have considered the term not accurate enough to describe the problem. The phrase "erectile dysfunction" is becoming more popular. You can also come across the term "erection dysfunction".

The question of how to treat impotence was dealt with by medieval doctors. Many of them tried to create a drug that can restore potency. An effective drug was developed only in the mid-thirties of the last century. The development of technology, the emergence of new drugs has contributed to attracting more and more attention to the problems associated with erection. Treatment of impotence became possible when in the 90s. XX century new properties of Sildenafil were revealed. Gradually, other drugs for impotence appeared.

Erectile dysfunction

Normal sexual intercourse from the point of view of male physiology can be divided into several phases:

• The onset of sexual desire;
• Love;
• Arousal and erection;
• Penal insertion;
• Dick movement in the vagina;
• Cumshot;
• Orgasm.

For various reasons, the process in a certain link is disrupted, which leads to the inability to perform subsequent actions, as a result, sexual intercourse cannot be completed. Impotence is a hard blow for a man, whether young or old.

The potential process of ejaculation, however, is not affected by dysfunction. A man is capable of ejaculation, but it passes without an erection and requires artificial stimulation.

Erectile dysfunction is rarely an independent disease, more often it is a consequence of other pathologies. In any case, impotence in men requires treatment.

Reasons

Researchers identify two main groups of causes of impotence in men:

• Organic;
• Psychological.

According to statistics, in 80% of cases the causes of impotence lie in organic disorders:

• Disorders of the endocrine system. A typical example is diabetes.
• Hormonal imbalance. Hypogonadism associated with a decrease in testosterone causes dysfunction.
• Organic and functional disorders of the brain centers responsible for the functioning of the genital organs.
• Urogenital diseases.
• Soreness when having sexual intercourse with guys, especially for the first time.

Psychological reasons include neurosis, depression, apathy, increased anxiety, neurotic state, fatigue, stress. This group of factors causes impotence at a young age.

A complex of organic and psychological causes can lead to erectile dysfunction. Then they talk about a mixed form of Erectile dysfunction.

On the border of organic and psychological reasons lies another one - taking medications. Medicines can provoke the development of functional and organic disorders, as well as affect the psycho-emotional state of a man. It is especially dangerous to use drugs without a doctor's prescription at home, which cause impotence as a side effect.

• Hydraulic. Such phalloprostheses are also made of silicone. Their peculiarity is that there is liquid inside them. During the operation, a pump is placed in the scrotum. When a man is aroused, he presses on her, thereby facilitating the penetration of fluid into the prosthesis and lifting the penis. After sexual intercourse is completed, you need to press the button that opens the valve. The fluid will return to the reservoir, the erection will end. This type of prosthesis has the least number of complications.



Hydraulic prostheses are two-component and three-component. The former are gradually being phased out. Three-component ones are considered the most reliable: AMS700 LGX.CX, ColoplastTitanOTR.
