It is a great enemy of middle -aged and elderly men.For a long time, people have always had a wrong concept, thinking that it is inevitable to have impotence in middle -aged and elderly people.However, contemporary medical research has confirmed that impotence has nothing to do with age. What really causes impotence is other diseases accompanied by increased age and drugs used for the treatment of diseases.
The formal scientific name of impotence is erectile dysfunction, which means that male genitals cannot be erected and sufficient to perform sexual intercourse.The phenomenon of impotence is actually quite common.According to a random sampling survey in the United States, 52 % of the 709 people who were investigated 40 & mdash; 709 were acknowledged that there was erectile dysfunction, and 10 % of them could not erected.
Is impotence the inevitable phenomenon after men who are young, or are it more complicated than this reason?Professor Arnold Melmann of the Einstein School of Medicine in New York said that male impotence is actually not related to age, but it is closely related to the disease that is often accompanied by aging.For example, about 70 % of impotence is caused by arteriosclerosis and hypertension. Those drugs that reduce blood pressure will cause erectile difficulties after entering the male genitals;The problem, but it is indeed an important factor that causes erectile disorders.Others, such as chronic kidney disease, can also cause impotence. Almost all people suffering from chronic kidney disease without good treatment have genital erection.Pelvic surgery sometimes cuts the nerves to cause impotence, and half of the diabetic patients have erectile impairment.In addition, many drugs such as treating hypertension, allergies, depression, ulcers and poor appetite have side effects of impotence.
