1. What is impotence?
Impotence is a condition which affects a large proportion of the male population. Men who suffer from impotence find it difficult to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for sex. This condition is common; studies show that up to 33% of men in the UK suffer from impotence at some point in their lives. Impotence is also known as erectile dysfunction or ED.
2. How do I know if I have impotence?
The inability to achieve an erection when sexually stimulated is a clear indication that you may be suffering from impotence. Another common symptom is difficulty in maintaining an erection sufficient for completing penetrative intercourse. If these symptoms occur regularly, you should try to find the cause of your condition and consider treatment. Taking an online consultation will help you to diagnose your condition effectively and confidentially.
3. Can impotence cause premature ejaculation?
Premature ejaculation is an entirely different condition, but the 2 are often confused. Premature ejaculation occurs in men who reach climax during sexual activity much sooner (sometimes under 2 minutes) than desired, leaving them and their partner dissatisfied. Premature ejaculation may accompany impotence but it should be treated differently. Visit our premature ejaculation pages for more information.
4. Can young men suffer from impotence?
Teenagers and young men do often have difficulty in achieving and maintaining an erection. In younger males, the most frequent cause is anxiety, which can stem from sexual inexperience or nerves. Stress is also an increasingly common cause.
5. What causes impotence?
The causes can be either physical or psychological. Various underlying health problems such as diabetes, hypertension, low blood pressure and heart problems can act as triggers for impotence. Psychological causes include stress, depression and anxiety. Men who smoke or use drugs also face a higher risk of impotence. Taking our online consultation can help you to discover the cause of your condition and help you to find a suitable treatment.
6. Can medications cause impotence?
Men are more susceptible to impotence if they are of a certain age (40-70) and are using certain medications such as anti-depressants, diuretics, antihistamines, muscle relaxants and prostate cancer treatments. If you think a medication is causing you to suffer from this condition, don’t stop taking your medication. Discuss the problem with your doctor to see whether they can provide a different type of medication or a lower dosage of your current treatment.
7. When should I treat impotence?
If you have been unable to achieve or maintain an erection on several occasions over a short period, you should consider looking into available treatments. As soon as you determine the root cause, either through a face-to-face diagnosis with your doctor or an online consultation, you can begin to treat the problem in the most appropriate manner.
8. How can I treat impotence?
Prescription drugs, surgical treatment, therapy, penis extenders and pumps can all have positive effects on your condition. Before you decide which method you want to use, you should first consult a doctor so that they can determine the cause. If the cause is purely psychological, simply discussing it with your partner may solve the problem. If you feel uncomfortable discussing the problem with your own doctor, we can arrange for you to see a specialist, or you can take advantage of one of our free online consultations.
