What Is Male Impotence?

Posted by admin on August 19, 2010

So, what causes impotence? I hear you ask. Well, damage to arteries, muscles, and other tissues, possibly because of disease, is probably the most common reason for impotence. Anything that impedes the blood flow in the penis can cause impotence. Another cause of erectile problems is prescription drugs, with more than 250 variants held to blame.

A lot of males with diabetes have no sexual problems, but this is one illness that can cause impotence. Back injuries, especially if they involve the vertebral column have also been known to cause impotence. About 50% of men who are treated for prostate cancer will experience some degree of impotence, albeit just temporarily.

In some cases, the cause is mainly psychological; in others it is physical. Chronic stress caused by job, financial or marriage problems can also be the reason behind impotence and your doctor may ask you to take a test for depression, which is a known cause of impotence. Incidentally, hormonal problems are not usually the cause of impotence.

As for fixing this problem, the best treatment for you personally will depend on the cause of your impotence. In recent years there have been a lot of advances in the treatment of impotence, and lots of men have been treated effectively. In the past, the usual treatment for impotence was a penile implant or extended psychotherapy, but things have moved on a bit now.

Oral drugs like the most famous one ‘Viagra’ have revolutionized the treatment of impotence; but the problem is these impotence pills do not work for everyone. Also ask your doctor or medical advisor about ‘Levitra’ which is another new erectile dysfunction treatment pill that does a similar job to “Viagra” in the treatment of impotence. The good news is there is a lot of help out there. Have a look at the site link below for a wealth of information on this subject. For other products that help males, visit www.SprayNutrients.com

Impotent Male Info and Premature Ejaculation – How Does it Affect You and Your Partner?

Posted by admin on March 16, 2010

Premature ejaculation is a definite medical condition that occurs frequently and has a severe impact on quality of life. It affects the physical and emotional wellbeing of men and their partners. The embarrassing nature of the problem means it is often left untreated and so the relationships and health of those involved often deteriorate unnecessarily.

Premature ejaculation is the most common sexual health problem. It is more common than erectile dysfunction and can affect men at any time in their lives. It will affect one in eight men at some point with one in four men experiencing the problem of premature ejaculation on a more frequent basis. According to research 20%-30% of men are commonly affected by PE but the subject remains hidden and is virtually taboo in every culture.

So what actually is premature ejaculation? It is defined as persistent or recurrent ejaculation with minimum stimulation shortly after penetration. This can be widened to add before the couple wishes. It can be a lifelong problem or one that suddenly materialises after years of a healthy sexual relationship.

The problem with treating PE is mainly due to stigmatisation and the fact that most men feel if they admit the problem they are deemed as inadequate. This can seriously damage the self confidence of the man involved and lead to further problems.

The impact the problem of premature ejaculation if left untreated can be devastating. Not only doe it affect the love lives of partners it makes becoming intimate very difficult for both partners. The male loses all self confidence and gets anxious about sex whilst his partner is dissatisfied with her sexual relationship but is fearful of broaching the subject in case it causes more problems.

The dissatisfaction with your sexual relationship can impact in other areas of your life as it becomes more and more difficult to deal with situations and the strain on your relationship begins to show.

However by acknowledging the problem and striving to cure the problem of PE it is possible to build a relationship that is stronger than ever. You will be closer to your partner as you have managed to work through the problem together and come out of the other end having a loving sexual relationship and being able to last longer in bed.

Impotent Male Info and Strange but True…

Posted by admin on March 8, 2009

I recently came across this little nugget of information regarding how the chemical behind the smell of rotten eggs can cause male arousal.  Huh? 

File this under:  Do not try this at home!  You may become aroused, however, your partner may become ill! 

This is a snippet from TheTimes.co.za:

"The chemical behind the smell of rotten eggs helps men become aroused, according to research that could lead to new impotence treatments.

Hydrogen sulphide is released by nerve cells in the penis before intercourse, causing it to become erect, scientists found. The foul-smelling gas is released in larger amounts by decaying eggs and from the exhaust pipes of cars fitted with catalytic converters, but researchers think it could be used to create a rival to Viagra.

“We found that hydrogen sulphide is involved in human penile erection,” Professor Giuseppe Cirino of the University of Naples Federico II told The Independent.

A similar discovery about the role of nitric oxide in causing erections led to the development of Viagra, which stimulates blood supply to the penis."

Impotent Male Info and Male Menopause

Posted by admin on February 18, 2009

Impotent Male Info brings you the following article from The Washington Post.  There are many causes of male impotence, and male menopause and stress are certainly among some of the issues.  If you have any questions about this information, contact your doctor and discuss how they can help you conquer these symptoms. 

Economic Crisis Hits Men Harder

Author of "Male Menopause" and "The Irritable Male Syndrome," psychotherapist Jed Diamond has made a name for himself by focusing on the angst of the modern male. His Web site, Menalive.com, and online counseling business have recently seen a surge in users. Freelance writer Sindya N. Bhanoo asked Diamond whether the country’s sagging economy is taking a greater toll on men than on women — and if so, why.

Excerpts of their conversation follow:

Q So, what is male menopause? Does it really exist?

A Male menopause is a change of life for men that has a hormonal basis but [also] has psychological, interpersonal, social and spiritual aspects to it. Another way to think of it is to think of puberty, but [this is] a transition between first adulthood and second adulthood.

So it’s similar to female menopause?

Many of the symptoms are the same, or similar, particularly the emotional ups and downs. Although hot flashes and night sweats are less common in men than in women, they are present. The [symptoms] that are the most common include loss of sexual functioning, erectile dysfunction and loss of libido. Irritability and anger and loss of energy are also common.

And what about male irritability syndrome? When does that occur?

Well, we looked at irritability, anger and depression in men. There were two main times when it was most common, between [the ages of] 15 and 25 and then again when men were between 40 and 55.

The four main causes are stress, hormonal shifts and changes in brain chemistry, and changes in male identity and male roles.

The unemployment rate is 7.6 percent; could this be worsening the symptoms of male menopause and prompting irritable male syndrome?

The core of male menopause is that it is a change of life. If there is good support and understanding, men learn that it is not the beginning of the end, as many fear, but rather the end of the beginning. First adulthood is coming to an end, and we are moving into second adulthood.

If a man gets the proper support, this can be the most passionate, productive and powerful time of a man’s life. However, stresses, including severe economic dislocation, can cause a man to lose faith in his abilities and prospects.

A whole lot of a man’s sense of a male’s identity is wrapped up in how well he provides. And it’s about how well he symbolizes that outwardly, in a nice car, a nice house.

This is an international monetary crisis, and it’s also an international psychological crisis. I just talked to a client today from Turkey and another from Switzerland. The one in Switzerland is concerned about the man in her life.

The loss of jobs, economic situations crashing — it affects men in a profound way. The chaos is affecting men in very, very powerful and negative ways. My Web site was getting 200 or 300 visits a day, now we get double in terms of people who are coming for counseling. And I have almost a doubling in client intake.

So women don’t struggle with stress?

I don’t want to at all suggest that women don’t feel stress or aren’t impacted by the economy. Many women are the sole providers for their family. But men seem to have a less resilient emotional system; women’s brains are more networked from left to right. They are balanced socially. Men tend to be more isolated. Their [wives] may be their only friend. If things are stressful, they don’t have as much social support.

How do you counsel clients who are facing financial strain and job loss?

This might be a time to think about starting [your] own business. It’s about finding a way that we may be able to get through this financial crisis that makes money sense and emotional sense. Rather than being so dependent on national and international economy, we can network with other people, and invest locally in the local economy.

What are some steps someone can take who is going through male menopause or thinks they have irritable male syndrome?

They are similar steps. They would include a whole range of thin gs, such as stress-reduction techniques, hormone restoration, anger management and exercise. Comments: health@washpost.com.

Male Impotence Info and Alcohol Consumption

Posted by admin on February 15, 2009

Causes of Male Impotence presents the following article from Wine Spectator. As with much in life, moderation is key and this also applies to alcohol comsumption and erectile dysfunction. If you have any questions about how your alcohol comsumption may be impacting your ability to achieve and/or maintain an erection discuss this concern with your doctor.

Moderate Drinking Linked to Lower Levels of Erectile Dysfunction

Study finds hard evidence that responsible alcohol consumption does not cause impotency.

Written by Jacob Gaffney

The results of a recent study may lift the spirits of men who drink in moderate amounts. Researchers in Western Australia have found, after analyzing a survey of men, that erectile dysfunction is not linked to one’s drinking habits.

This may come as a surprise to many, since alcohol has been considered a cause of male impotence for centuries. In Australia, locals colloquially refer to impotency as "brewer’s droop."

"Alcohol consumption is a contentious social topic and is often assumed to have deleterious effect on sexual performance," wrote the study’s authors, in the January issue of International Society for Sexual Medicine. "There is a lack of consensus on whether alcohol consumption may in fact be beneficial to erectile function."

The researchers, most of whom are affiliated with the University of Western Australia, suggest that the idea is not so far-fetched, since moderate alcohol consumption is linked to better cardiovascular health. Therefore, it may also aid the function of vascular organs, such as the penis. Furthermore, erectile dysfunction (ED) is closely linked to cardiovascular disease.

The purpose of the study, lead by Kew-Kim Chew, an ED researcher with more than 10 years of experience, was to try and measure the relationship between alcohol consumption and impotency. The researchers pulled data from 1,580 participants in the Western Australia Men’s Health Study, a survey of local males, ages 20 to 80. That study, completed in December 2002, found that ED is widespread among men and that heart-related ailments and smoking are major risk factors for the condition.

According to the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), doctors have struggled to find an accurate estimate of how many men living in the United States struggle with impotence. The NIH suggests that the number is anywhere between 15 million to 30 million. However, the problem is either growing or more men are willing to report it these days, especially as new pharmaceutical treatments have come on the market. In 1985, eight of every 1,000 doctor’s office visits by men were made specifically to seek treatment for ED. By 1999, that rate had grown to more than 22. The frequency of the condition normally increases with age and additional factors such as stress.

In the Australian health survey, participants included information on their drinking and smoking behavior, as well as answers to questions on their erectile function. "Our findings suggest that men who consumed alcohol appeared to have lower odds of erectile dysfunction [when compared to non-drinkers] if the level if alcohol consumption is within the guidelines for low-risk drinking," said Chew. "This implies, in Australia, up to four standard drinks a day on not more than five days a week."

The study defines a standard drink as a 12- to 13-ounce serving of beer, a 3- to 4-ounce glass of wine or a 1-ounce serving of spirits. The study did not categorize alcohol by different types of beverages in order to compare.

Men who drank alcohol within these levels were nearly 30 percent less likely to report impotence problems, regardless of age. Men who drank alcohol but did not smoke were almost 50 percent less likely to report problems than smokers. In fact, any level of alcohol consumption seemed to be linked to a lower risk of ED, but Chew was quick to clarify the implications of the study.

"The message from our article is that alcohol drinkers with erectile dysfunction do not need to carry a sense of guilt about their past or current drinking with respect to their dysfunction and that doctors do not have to counsel them against alcohol, if the level of alcohol consumption is within the guidelines for low-risk drinking," he said.

"High-risk drinking is known to be associated with adverse health effects and socioeconomic and other implications," he added. "Our findings do not suggest that non-drinkers should commence drinking with the idea of improving sexual performance." Furthermore, the study has limitations. No followup inquiries were made to the men after the study for more information. And men are not always fully open to answering questions about impotence.
