Impotency:
Impotence is the inability of a
man either to have an erection or to keep the penis
erect long enough to have sexual intercourse. This
is a common problem affecting as many as 10 million
men in the United States. By the time most men are
40 they have already experienced impotence at some
time in their lives.
When just a single incident
occurs, the best thing to do is forget about it.
Problems arise when this difficulty starts occurring
regularly.
According to an article published
in early 1993 (review: Morley, 1993), approximately
10 million men in the U.S. have problems with
impotence.
Men afflicted with repeated
impotence tend to be middle-aged and older, with
such a condition most common in men 60 years of age
and older. Regardless of the age, however, many men
who have this problem can be treated successfully.
Impotence can result from a wide
variety of problems. As with any other ailment, when
a person begins having this problem repeatedly, he
needs to see a doctor. The doctor will want to rule
out the possibility of disease, injury, or side
effects from medicine.
For example, cardiovascular
problems, diabetes, injuries to the spinal column,
and side effects from high blood pressure medicine
are among the physical conditions that can lead to
impotence. An erection occurs when the nervous
system activates a rapid increase in blood flow. The
vascular muscle in the spongy area becomes engorged
with blood and outflow of blood is cutoff. Erection
can be elicited by the so-called reflex erection as
we see in spinal cord patients, or can be caused by
psychogenic stimulation. Numerous sexual stimuli are
processed by the brain and transmitted to the penis
via the nervous system. In order to get an erection,
the blood flow must increase and, at the same time,
the blood has to be prevented from leaving the
penis.
