Impotence is the term used to describe the lack of a sufficient erection for sexual intercourse over a period of three months, which is detrimental to a satisfactory sexual
life.
About 50% of men aged between 30 and 70 have at least temporary impotence problems, according to epidemiological studies. Erections entail complex interaction between the vascular and nervous systems in the penis and are also influenced by hormonal and biochemical mechanisms. Most erectile dysfunction is caused by internal diseases, such as neurological, hormonal, or vascular changes. Often, drugs to treat high blood pressure or cardiac arrhythmias or other conditions, have an adverse effect. Sometimes, psychological causes, such as depression, problems in the man’s relationship, or fear of failure to perform can inhibit erectile function. This can also occur after surgical interventions in the pelvic area.The treatment options for erectile dysfunction have been appreciably improved over the past years, so that successful treatment can be offered to most patients.
