Causes Behind Male Impotence


Impotence, also called erectile dysfunction, affects overall 10-30% of the male population and up to 30 million men in the United States alone. In fact, impotence is the most common erectile dysfunction in our modern society. Most men will experience the problem at some stage in their lives, with the incidence of impotence increasing with age.
Impotence is defined as a consistent inability to achieve or sustain an erection that will allow for sexual intercourse. The erection may be too weak, too brief, or too painful. Impotence has many causes; we distinguish between psychical and physical related cases. Statistics though vary a great deal when they are drawing conclusions on the dispersion.



Physical, related impotence can be related to factors as:



• Diabetes

• Alcoholism

• Drug abuse

• Decreased penile circulation

• Neurologic processes, such as spinal cord injuries and diseases

• Atherosclerosis

• Structural abnormalities

• Medications such as antihypertensives, sedatives, antihistamines, and antipsychotics

• Penile diseases such as Peyronie's disease



Psychological or emotional causes include:



• Depression

• Stress

• Anxiety

• Low self-esteem

• Fear of sexual incompetence

• Poor relationship with sexual partner

TREATMENT



Untreated, impotence may only worsen, since inability to achieve an erection can cause performance anxiety, which, in itself, can cause impotence. If you seek treatment, you have a very good chance of enhancing your ability to have and sustain an erection that will allow you to have sexual intercourse.

Men's Clinic is dealing with two types of treatment, surgical treatment and non-surgical treatment.



Surgical Treatment



The vast majority of physical causes are treatable. The new approaches presented by some of the worlds best surgeons, which you will find at Men's Clinic provide success rates of up to 95% of men who have received surgical treatment, whereas you are able to achieve satisfactory sexual function. (Normal success rate is app. 30-40%).

Surgery consists of three separate procedures:

Implants

The doctor inserts penile prostheses or penile implants in each of the two corpora cavernosa. These implants may be rigid, malleable, hinged, or inflatable. The inflatable types are associated with more mechanical failures and complications than the others.

Arterial reconstruction

If the arteries that carry blood into the penis are blocked or damaged (usually from injury), your doctor might surgically reconstruct the arteries.

Venous surgery

Your doctor may surgically block penile veins that impair erection by allowing blood to flow back into the body prematurely.

Groundbreaking Non-surgical Treatment

With 100% Success Rate

A NEW non-surgical treatment has just been launched at Men's Clinic. A computerised training system provides you with an erection within 10 minutes. PowerMannn ® was developed in close co-operation between Danish medical specialists and computer experts.



Three years of intensive product development and more than 270 clinical tests made it possible to lay down the data for an optimal training programme for impotence. The programme has been condensed on a microchip and the schedule indisputably yields excellent results with a success rate of 100% for achieving an erection.



A special computer programme pumps up the penis prior to intercourse. The system benefit to men who either suffer from potency problems or with to improve their male prowess. The programme can be used once a day before intercourse or other sexual activity. Once you achieve an erection, you place a binding (ring) device around the base of your penis, helping to sustain the erection by preventing blood from flowing back into your body.

Medical/Drug Treatment



Treatment for impotence follows a course that rules out many potential causes for the condition. Most treatment moves from the least invasive (reducing doses on drugs causing impotence) to the most invasive (surgery). Depending on the cause of the dysfunction and on your lifestyle, your doctor may suggest more than one type of treatment.



Some men like tablets like, which you take orally; others you inject into your penis, insert into the end of your penis, or rub on your penis. Depending on the type of therapy and medication prescribed, you should meet with a doctor to assess the treatment and your response to it.



One of the most famous drug right now is Viagra. It is an oral drug that relaxes smooth muscles in the penis during sexual stimulation, allowing increased blood flow to the penis and making an erection possible. Viagra is relatively new, so researchers have not carried out long-term tests on its effects and some clinical evaluations shows a less affective and convincing success rate.



Drug list: (Not all drugs are available in every market)

• "Bromocriptine" for hyperprolactinemia

• "Papaverine" and "phentolamine" injections

• "Nitroglyserin" this muscle relaxant can induce erection when rubbed on the penis

• "Yohimbine" (Yocon)

• "Viagra" oral drug (sildenafil)

• "Alprostadil" an injection into the penis

• "Testosterone cypionate" for abnormally decreased gonad activity (hypogonadism)

Anatomical Description



To better understand impotence, it's helpful to have a picture of the anatomy of the penis and male sexual response. Two chambers filled with spongy tissue, called the corpora cavernosa, run the length of the penis. A membrane called the tunica albuginea surrounds them both. The urethra, which emits urine and semen from the body, runs beneath the corpora cavernosa.


An erection can result from either thinking or dreaming of sex, or direct stimulation of the genitals, although most of the time both sources of stimulation come into play. In a man without impotence, such stimulation prompts brain impulses that tell the muscles of the corpora cavernosa to relax. Blood then begins to fill the spongy tissue, causing the penis to expand. The tunica albuginea then contracts, trapping the blood inside the penis and sustaining erection. In healthy sexual response, the process usually doesn't reverse until just after ejaculation, when the corpora cavernosa muscles contract, stopping the inflow of blood, and the tunica albuginea create resistance, allowing the blood to flow back into the body.



Attaining and maintaining an erection is a complex series of events, involving nerve impulses in the brain, genitals, and spinal column and requiring response from the muscles, veins, arteries, and fibrous tissues in or near the corpora cavernosa. A disruption of any one of these events can cause impotence.



How Common Is Impotence?



About one in 10 men report having impotence, but more have it and do not report it. Teenage boys and younger adults report impotence, but it is most common in men over age 45. Between 20%-35% of 60-year-old men may have impotence. Even though it becomes more common with age, aging itself does not cause impotence; instead, underlying problems, such as arteriosclerotic vascular disease, which often occur in older men, can cause impotence.

Comprehensive diagnosis for Male Infertility

Male infertility is in some ways more common than female infertility and quite often the failure to conceive is caused by a problem with the male’s reproductive system. It is a lot less complicated to examine and test a male than a female which is why it is often chosen as the first port of call when it comes to conceivement problems rather than to test the female.

Thorough and extensive examinations and reviews of the man’s medical and surgical history are imperative because any chronic and severe disease, injury to the pelvis, childhood illnesses, recreational drug use, abdominal or reproductive organ surgery and some medications can have a dramatic effect on fertility. Physical examinations may show up testicular irregularities, for example, absence of vas deferens, tumours, a varicocele, or even a hormonal disorder; enlarged breast tissue or underdeveloped reproductive organs or testosterone deficiency (hypogonadism).

A semen analysis is performed to examine the ejaculate because seminal fluid can affect the function and movement of sperm. It is common for a fertility specialist to take three semen samples to account for any errors or differences in temperature. If three samples do not differ more than 20% from one another they will then make a diagnosis. Six factors are analysed in sperm analysis:

• Concentration of sperm (ml/cc)
• Motility (movement of sperm)
• Morphology (sperm shape)
• Volume (volume of ejaculate)
• Total motile count (total number of moving sperm)
• Standard semen fluid test (thickness and colour of semen)

Other semen analysis tests for infertility include a sperm-mucus interaction test, to measure the sperm’s ability to swim through female reproductive tract and post ejaculation urinanalysis may identify diseases that could affect fertility such a chronic urinary tract infections (UTI) kidney disease or diabetes. Additionally, blood tests can help to pick up any previously undetected disorders that would effect testosterone and sperm production.

The causes for male infertility are vast, but generally it is down to an impaired production of sperm, impaired delivery of sperm and testosterone deficiency. Causes for male infertility include the following:

• Disease. (e.g. cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anaemia, STD (Sexually transmitted diseases
• Chemotherapy used in treating some cancers
• Medications such as those that treat high blood pressure, arthritis etc.
• Injury to the testicles
• Retrograde Ejaculation (a rare condition where the semen flows backwards through the bladder during ejaculation)
• Testicular Cancer
• Varicocele

Once a definite diagnosis is made then treatment can commence. There are three categories of treatments; Assisted reproduction, drug therapy, or surgery. Which category you fall into depends on the nature of the problem but your specialist can advise you which the best treatment for you is.

Exercises Increase Size & Performance

Men that have used MaleExtra in conjunction with penis enlargement exercises are able to achieve their results even faster.  Penis enlargement exercises help to increase the girth and size of a man’s penis -- in order to make it grow, the penis needs to exercise.  The MaleExtra supplement provides the penis with the nutrients it needs to ensure permanent expansions in both size and girth. Some of the exercises that men should be performing include kegeling and jelqing. 
*           The first exercise, kegeling, works on the muscle that controls ejaculation and erections.  By conditioning this muscle, a man can have a harder erection for a longer period of time, as well as reducing the chances of premature ejaculation. 
*           Jelqing is the process of pushing more blood into the tissues of the penis that make it larger.  By exercising the tissue to hold more blood, a man experiences a penile erection that is longer and wider in size. 
While these are just two of the exercises a man can perform to enlarge their penis, it is clear that when it is used in combination with MaleExtra supplements, a man can reach the goals that they have been longing for.
