Strangely, impotency is extremely common in males and in national surveys of males in the USA between the ages of 18-59, 10% claim they have a problem achieving or keeping an erection, and in men between 40-70 years of age this increases to fifty two percent. The problem of male impotency is more universal than earlier thought and research into the problem has shown that anywhere between eighteen up to thirty million American men require some kind of impotence treatment or therapy.

Successful impotence interventions have been shown to improve closeness and satisfaction, improve sexual aspects of quality of life and alleviate symptoms of depression. Premature ejaculation is not, as many people think, an erectile dysfunction and accordingly it does not impotency treatment.

Any impotence interventions should commence with those that are the least invasive first and prior to this, any drugs that could be detrimental should be stopped. The next level to consider is psychotherapy and modifying the individual’s behavior, if this doesn’t work then the use of vacuum cylinders is looked at then drugs, both oral and injected, embedded devices and finally, surgery itself.

Impotency treatment using techniques that help psychological problems, decrease anxiety associated with sexual intercourse by using the male’s partner to help him relax. These techniques can also help ease anxiety when physical impotence is being treated.

Drugs when used as an impotency treatment can be taken by mouth, injected directly into the penis, or introduced into the urethra at the tip of the penis. In March 1998, the American FDA approved the drug now known internationally as Viagra and it was the first oral tablet to treat male impotency, taken one hour before sex. While Viagra increases the reaction to sexual stimulation, it does not produce an automatic erection as injected drugs do and should not be used more than once each day. Oral testosterone can reduce the amount of impotency treatment required by many males with low levels of natural testosterone - however, some discovered improvements after their use, may just be instances of the placebo effect.

When injections directly into the penis are employed as an impotency treatment, the erection is caused by the penis becoming full of blood. These drugs may produce undesirable side effects, including lasting erection and scarring. A pellet of Alprostadil inserted into the top of the penis utilising an application device create an erection in as little as ten minutes which may last anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour.

Mechanical vacuum devices are used as an impotency intervention that pulls blood into the penis making it enlarge. An elastic band is then placed around the base of the penis, to sustain the erection after the cylinder is withdrawn and left on during sexual intercourse to prevent blood from flowing back into the body.

Owing to the size of the problem, impotence treatments are improving all the time so prior to any decision is made it is worthwhile speaking to your physician first. Nevertheless, prior to utilising any impotency treatment it is a good idea to first learn of any potential consequences to the treatment.
