The Causes Of Impotence In Men

First of all, what is impotence in men? Male impotence

, or erectile dysfunction, as it is commonly called, can be a total or partial disruption of an erection. A partial disruption of an erection can be something like the erection not being hard enough or not being able to sustain it.

Most causes of impotence can be reversed with surgery, implants, medication, or even counseling, if it is due to a psychological cause. Ten to fifteen million men in America actually have problems with this at some point in their life or for all their life.

A man having this disorder since birth is characterized as having primary male impotence. If, say in his 50's, he starts having problems, this is known as secondary male impotence because it happens later in life after a stint at already being able to achieve erection. Going even further, the problem could be caused by either a psychological or biological reasons with the biological issue being the more likely culprit.

All our body parts are made up of tissues and nerves and veins which do certain functions so that we can move about and do things in everyday life. Sometimes the veins and nerves in the penis get disrupted and cause the most common problems with erection. If the problem lies with the hormones, the sex drive suffers which also causes problems with erection.

Alcohol, using illegal drugs, and smoking cigarettes all play a part in the disruption of how the body is supposed to work. Smoking as well as illegal drugs can also do damage to various regions of the body, including the penis. It can cause damage to the arteries causing them to become blocked and block blood flow so that a man cannot reach erection. The sperm can also be damaged by smoking in particular.

When discussing alcohol exclusively, if used in excess, the nervous system can be damaged. It interrupts the signals that run from the brain to the penis. When male impotence is caused exclusively by alcohol, it is called alcohol impotence. Alcohol may also attack the hormones responsible for sex drive and thus lower it.

By removing certain habits from your life, male impotence need not be something you have to deal with. It is a very treatable problem that you and your doctor can discuss.
