What Causes Male Impotence And What You Can Do About It?


Men of all races face the curse of impotence, more so in today's context than ever before. Male impotence is tied deeply with our self-esteem and psychological well being. This makes it a key part of the overall good functioning of men.
Most men are forced to face a challenge of their fitness as males at least once in their lives. It is very hard for men suffering from erectile dysfunctions(or ED) to admit their problems and seek professional help. An estimated 150 million men worldwide suffer from this problem called impotence but what's worse is less than 10% of these men seek treatment.
But what causes impotence in men?

The three major causes of male impotence are :
1. physical
2. psychological
3. lifestyle
The physical causes of impotence in men are often related to damages to nerve impulses in the brain, spine and penis, among other things. Diseases like diabetes and kidney failure can also cause male impotence although they are by no means exhaustive. Consult your doctor if you think your problem is physical related.
The psychological factors affecting male impotence often include financial worries, work pressures, fear of aging, or relationship problems. You can usually treat these with proper counselling and guidance.
While the physical and psychological factors are responsible for most cases of impotence, few people know that ED can be caused or worsened by certain lifestyle choices as well. In this respect, it is important to know that there are instances when making certain positive changes in lifestyles can help a man overcome impotence.
The biggest lifestyle-related causes of impotence are :
  1. smoking
  2. excessive consumption of alcohol
  3. drug abuse (especially cocaine, heroine, marijuana and steroids)
  4. extreme obesity and a sedentary lifestyle
It is no coincidence that a decrease in the consumption of alcohol, cigarettes and drugs can improve your sexual performances. In addition, regular exercising and diets are another great way of improving the sex life of overweight men. This will also boost their confidence by stimulating the production of testosterone.
What can you do to treat your impotence problem or improve your sexual prowess?
Besides avoiding the above lifestyle hazards, you can also take herbal supplements to treat your ED problems. These herbal solutions are different from prescription drugs in that they are more of a long term solution rather than a quick fix one.
While ED drugs like Viagra give you instant results, they do come with a hefty price tag and serious negative side effects. And they are just short term, temporary solutions.
On the other hand, herbal pills help nourish your sexual system, raises your testosterone levels and improve blood flow to your penis tissues for a more sustainable long term effect. Just don't expect the instant results you get from prescription ED drugs.
