MALE IMPOTENCE

IMPOTENCE

 

The stiffening of the penis is called an erection, it occurs naturally when the blood vessels in the penis accumulate blood, hardening the organ. The dilation of the arteries in the penis is the reason the blood is able to rush up into them, thus causing the hardening of the organ. Nerves in the brain and the spinal cord control these processes of arterial dilation, which in turn receive a psychological or sexual stimulation and respond. The medical condition commonly called impotence results when and a person is unable to achieve an erection and or is not in a position to maintain the stiffness in the penis.

The underlying physical cause of impotence in a man is a direct result of an impaired circulatory system which is unable to maintain the flow of sufficient blood into the penis to elicit a stiffening or erection, the hardening of the walls of the arteries or atherosclerosis may be the cause of this impairment of the circulatory system in the person. The side effects of certain drugs and medications can also induce impotence in men, and there are other probable causes such as the presence of some disorders in the body, including prostate disease, metabolic disorders such as diabetes, imbalances in the levels of hormones and certain types of nerve disorders. Psychological reasons play a huge part in the inability to get an erection but these make up only one in ten cases on average, that is though metal factors can play a role, physical factors seem to be the dominant cause of impotency in most individuals. It is important to discern between the two probable causes of impotence, thus an affected man may be able to find out the reason behind his impotency, and differentiate between a possible psychological reason and a physical one by undertaking the “postage stamp test”. This test is possible because most men experience erections while asleep as a part of normal life. To carry out the test wrap the penis with using a roll of stamps and glue them cylindrically around the penis, turn in to sleep with these stamps on the penis. The cause of the impotence in the person is usually psychologically, if an erection has occurred at night and the roll of stamps have been consequently torn in the morning. Impotence of this sort is temporary in extent, and could be related to performance anxiety and very commonly to stress.

 Supplements and herbs

The flow of blood into the penis can be greatly enhanced through the use of a combination of supplements, which can all help counter impotency. The elasticity and suppleness of the blood vessels is increased and maintained through the use of the vitamin C, this enables their rapid dilation and increases the flow of blood into the penis. Blood flow into the penis can also be improved and encouraged through the use of essential fatty acids found in abundance in supplements such as the oil of the flaxseed and the oil of the evening primrose herb, both of these supplements are excellent for long term use and help in the prevention of the narrowing of the blood vessels due to their weakening and reduce the level of the plaque forming substances such as cholesterol. The penile tissue can be aided through the use of the herb ginkgo biloba, which is mainly used to increases blood circulation in the brain; it may prove beneficial in this instance as well. An improved penile circulation was observed after six weeks, when an ultrasound examinations was conducted on sixty impotent men who were using the herb ginkgo biloba as a supplement to combat impotency. In this same study, fifty percent of the patients had regained complete function and had recovered from impotency within six months of continual supplementation with the gingko biloba. While the beneficial results of supplementation with the gingko begin to appear within a month of using it, the best results are achieved when supplements are used in the long term for at least six months at a stretch to combat impotency. Gingko and the other supplements can be used to holistically boost the health of the body as they possess other benefits besides addressing the impotency itself, these supplements can form a part of the general nutritional maintenance program besides being effective against impotency.

 Where the cause of the impotency in the individual is related to different factors, a variety of other types of supplements can be used. Where prostate disease or dysfunction is the cause of the impotency, use can be made of the African herb called the pygeum africanum as a supplement. The Siberian ginseng and another ginseng called the Panax ginseng increase the rate of testosterone production and its levels in the body of animals and this leads to an increase in mating behavior, these herbs may be useful to humans as well in the effective treatment of impotence. In situations where the other herbs are not able to provide any beneficial effects on the disorder in the person, a tea made from the “potency wood” scientific name- Muira puama can be used, this herb has found traditional usage in Brazil as an aphrodisiac, and it can probably help with impotency in individuals.
