If recent medical research is anything to go by, man impotency is a bigger problem than was at first thought and in America for instance, erection problems affect ten percent of males aged between 18 and 70 but worse still is the figure of over half of men in the 40 to 70 age range. Medical research into male impotence is going on all around the world and some surprising statistics have been produced that show that in the United States alone the figure for males who need impotency treatment could be as high as 30 million and as reduced as 18 million.
Successful impotency interventions have been established to improve closeness and gratification, improve sexual aspects of quality of life and relieve symptoms of depression. Many people believe that if you suffer from premature ejaculation then you have an erectile problem and need impotency treatment but this is not necessarily the case.
Any impotence interventions should commence with those that are the least interfering first and before this, any drugs that could be harmful should be stopped. Changes to behavior are looked at next and then mechanical vacuum devices, localised injections, penis implants and as a last fall back a procedure to correct the situation surgically.
Impotency treatment using techniques that help psychological disorders, decrease anxiety associated with intercourse by utilising the male’s partner to help him relax. Often the trouble is a physical one and these techniques are employed to treat those with success as well.
Drugs when used as an impotence treatment can be taken orally, injected directly into the penis, or introduced into the urethra at the tip of the penis. After much deliberation, the wonder impotence drug Viagra was given approval for use by the FDA in March 1998 and it was the first such tablet to be used and needed to be taken an hour prior to intercourse. While Viagra increases the response to sexual arousal, it does not create an automatic erection as injected drugs do and should not be employed more than once a day. Many men have reduced levels of testosterone but this can be rectified with oral medication although it is still not verified that the reactions to this impotence intervention are not those that are provided by a placebo effect.
When injections directly into the penis are employed as an impotence treatment, the erection is caused by the penis becoming full of blood. These drugs may produce unwelcome side effects, including continual erection and scarring. A shot of Alprostadil introduced into the top of the penis using an applicator create an erection in as little as 10 minutes which may last anywhere from half to one hour.
Mechanical vacuum devices are used as an impotence treatment that pulls blood into the penis making it enlarge. Like sizegenetics is a traction device bearing the CE symbol of conformity with the quality and safety standards of the European Community and also the coveted type 1 medical device certification. An flexible band is then situated around the base of the penis, to sustain the erection after the cylinder is removed and left on during sexual intercourse to prevent blood from flowing back into the body.
Owing to the size of the problem, impotency interventions are improving all the time so prior to any decision is made it is worthwhile speaking to your doctor first. Prior to utilising any form of drug or device for dealing with impotency, prescribed or not, it is worthwhile inquiring any potential side effects.
