Male impotence and Viagra

Over 30 million men in the United States alone are clinically classified as being impotent. This means that these men cannot achieve or sustain an erection suitable for intercourse and ejaculation. Such problems lead to huge emotional and personal stress, loss of self-confidence and issues in relationships.

Impotence is divided on two major types: biological and psychological. Psychological impotence results from stress, anxiety, depression, fatigue, insomnia. It can be treated without the help of any medications just by visiting a psychologist or changing your lifestyle. Exercises, good sleep and diet will certainly help in increasing your sexual performance. The second type of impotence — biological — takes more drastic measures to overcome. It mainly results from problems with blood circulation in the penis, which is very common for aged men. The reduced production of neurotransmitters leads to a variety of conditions like kidney and liver diseases, prostate problems, increased blood pressure, etc. And it all might contribute to erectile dysfunction.

Before drugs like Viagra were invented, there were different procedures used in treating erectile dysfunction that certainly cannot be considered as pleasant: penile implants, injectable drugs (into the penis), and vacuum constriction. But Viagra has marked a revolution in treating male impotence, that’s why it remains to be the most popular drug of its kind.
