What is impotence or erectile dysfunction? The most common cause of temporary impotence is anxiety. Temporary impotence is very common indeed, particularly in younger men, and especially when they are either anxious, or have had too much alcohol. the most common cause of temporary impotence is just anxiety - not some serious problem. Impotence may be a symptom of another, as yet un-diagnosed, disease requiring treatment; the most common of these is diabetes, high blood pressure, heart problems that needed medications. All these medications in long term would cause your impotence. What causes impotence? An erection happens when blood is pumped into your penis and the energy relating to your kidney - and stays there - making it stiff and hard. All sorts of things may affect this complex process.

| Erectile Dysfunction | |||||||||||
Erectile dysfunction, sometimes is also call "impotence," is the repeated inability to get or keep an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse. The word "impotence" may also be used to describe other problems that interfere with sexual intercourse and reproduction, such as lack of sexual desire and problems with ejaculation or orgasm. Using the term erectile dysfunction makes it clear that those other problems are not involved. Erectile dysfunction, can be a total inability to achieve erection, an inconsistent ability to do so, or a tendency to sustain only brief erections. These variations make defining ED and estimating its incidence difficult. Estimates range from 15 million to 30 million, depending on the definition used. According to the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS), for every 1,000 men in the United States, 7.7 physician office visits were made for Erectile dysfunction in 1985. By 1999, that rate had nearly tripled to 22.3. The suspected figures in Malaysia is much higher. In older men, Erectile dysfunction usually has a physical cause, such as disease, injury, or side effects of drugs. Any disorder that causes injury to the nerves or impairs blood flow in the penis has the potential to cause Erectile dysfunction. But it is not an inevitable part of aging. THE PENISThe penis contains two chambers called the corpora cavernosa, which run the length of the organ. A spongy tissue fills the chambers. The corpora cavernosa are surrounded by a membrane, called the tunica albuginea. The spongy tissue contains smooth muscles, fibrous tissues, spaces, veins, and arteries. The urethra, which is the channel for urine and ejaculate, runs along the underside of the corpora cavernosa. Erection starts with sensory or mental stimulation, or both. Impulses from the brain and local nerves cause the muscles of the corpora cavernosa to relax, allowing blood to flow in and fill the spaces. The blood creates pressure in the corpora cavernosa, making the penis expand. The tunica albuginea helps trap the blood in the corpora cavernosa, thereby sustaining erection. When muscles in the penis contract to stop the inflow of blood and open outflow channels, erection is reversed. |
