Impotence Issues

Impotence is defined as a persistent inability to achieve or maintain an erection.

Erections depend on blood flow into the penis. During sexual arousal, the nervous system signals the penile arteries to expand. As extra blood rushes in, it fills the erectile tissues inside the penis, triggering lengthening and firming. After orgasm, penile blood flow returns to normal, and erection subsides. Many factors can interfere with erection, notably: drugs, cardiovascular disease, nerve damage, emotional stress, or illness. Healthy men can have erections at any age.

Impotence can be a major blow to a man's ego. Sometimes he blames the woman in his life. However, men usually blame themselves, feel terrible and withdraw from sex. The woman in his life can help by encouraging the man to see a urologist to rule out any possible medical causes.

Men might think they only need one thing in order to have an erection: a penis. In fact, a new Italian study shows that the strength of the muscles surrounding your penis may also play a part. When researchers studied the strength of two pelvic-area muscles in 390 men, they found that potent guys were 17% stronger than the guys who had trouble with erections. "These muscles squeeze the two blood-filled erection tubes in the penis. The stronger these muscles are, the more pressure they'll create in the errection," says Gregory A Broderick, M.D. a Mayo Clinic urologist. By simply squeezing and releasing the muscles you use to stop urination, you can train these muscles to get stronger. For best results, ask your partner to give you a hand.

It's important that the man not panic when impotence occurs and even more important that the partner, by understanding, minimize the problem and conceal their disappointment. If a woman puts her man down or a man puts himself down, his confidence could be harmed to the point of creating psychological problems of impotence where none should exist.

Many men believe that with age, erection impairment is inevitable. But it isn't. Men typically experience sexual changes with age -- less ability to raise an erection from fantasy alone, slower erection with genital fondling, less firmness, and the possibility of temporary loss of erection during sex, with a need for more caressing to bring it back.

Over 2 million Canadian men suffer from erectile dysfunction, frequently referred to as impotence. So, if you feel that your partner may be experiencing erectile dysfunction, speak with your doctor and discuss what treatment options are best suited to him. Keep in mind that talking about your sexual health is a healthy thing to do.  Check out www.edfactscanada.com for more information.
