Impotence / Erectile Dysfunction

Introduction

RSS Feeds   Text 

If a male, perhaps due to a natural defect or due to castration, is without [the two testes], then he does not have... virile greenness andthis virile wind that erects the stem to its fullstrength. For that reason the stem cannot become erect to plough woman like soil, because it has lost the wind of its powers that had to strengthen it for the task of producing offspring. Similarly a plough is unable to dig up soil if it is without a ploughshare.

- Hildegard of Bingen, 12th century AD


Impotence or erectile dysfunction affects 10-15 percent of all males and can be emotionally and psychologically disabling for men and their partners. In 80% of erectile dysfunction cases, physical factors such as drugs, blood flow abnormalities, nerve impulse abnormalities or hormonal abnormalities are the major causes. Psychological factors account for the remaining cases and may be attributed to stress, performance anxiety and misinformation about sexuality.

Hello I am 30 years old an a virgin. I will remain a virgin for the rest of my life because I have exstreme social dificulties and I found that I prefer to remain single anyway. On e thing is really bothering me, I hardly get erections and when ever I do they last for a very short time. I thought about telling my doctor about my condition but I was way too afraid to ask him about treating my sexual dysfunction because in all the E.D. commercials all the men have a sexual partner, they never show any men who are single like me in those commercials. All I want to know is do men with out a sexual partner also talk to their doctor about taking medication to get rid of there E.D?

You need a surgery called circumcision. This would help get rid of the infection and also help better control of the blood pressure.

Hi I am 24 years old. I am facing a very peculiar problem. I think that the size of penis has reduced a little in this past one year. Though it is reason good enough to worry , but my main problem is not that. Since the past 6-8 months I am not having strong erections. Sometimes I do have them while watching some porn but that is very rare. I do have a decent erection during the foreplay , but after 15-20 mins of the foreplay , when me and my partner want to have intercourse I lose my erection or to be more precise my penis is only 20% erect and thus it becomes even more embarrassing . I do masturbate and have an 70-80% erect penis which stays erect for 15-20 mins at maximum. Please Help

If you are 24yrs there should be no great problem. Size does NOT REDUCE at this stage- in cold weather it may look a bit smaller than normal.

Thanks for the advise , but as I said , I am not concerned about the size,. My main concern is my erection problem which I have elaborated in my post. I would appreciate some advise for that as well.. Thanks

My penis gets quiet hard but bends downward like a banana is this normal I have always thought that maybe it's not fully hard. I'm able to have sex with it but always feel it should be straightening out and not pointing towards the ground. I have a small indentation towards the base of my shaft could this maybe be blocking blood flow?

Yes you could talk to Medindia and make an appointment to talk to a doctor on the phone. Pl leave you number with them so that they can call back. He either has a psychological problem or could be stress related. all the best

HI,
Erectile dysfunction is an great problem with men of different age which can be treated with sildenafil citrate. Sildenafil Citrate in an active element that helps to treat male impotence.

Erectile dysfunction is the cause which can be found in every 3 out of 10 men. Broken relationships, Unsatisfactory, Depression are the factors which relates with this cause. Many people are self victim of this cause. Many medicines or drugs are available in market to cure this cause but people are neglecting them. This is an harmful disease for the one who cant satisfy his partner during bed time. We have to raise our voice against this. Many Health organizations and Mandatory communities are implementing some new medicines to overcome this.

Unfortunately indian government not allowing sex toys into india. These toys are much helpful for BP, Sugar, Arithrities patients who became impotent. Wasting much amount and spoiling health on alternative medicines. 1] Dr. Johnson's 6 inch strap-on-dildo is very much usefull. 2) Inflatable female and male dols useful for Singles and unmarried. 3) 6 inch dildos and vibrators are useful for unmarried women. These 3 toys helps to releive tension and pressure in men and women, reduce sexual crimes in the society. But dont allow other sex toys. Allow only these 3 toys - namely 1. Dr. Johnson's 6 inch strap-on-dildo. 2. Inflatable female and male dols. 3. 6 inch dildos and vibrators. Dont allow BDSM and any big toys than 6 inch hight and 3 to 4 inch gridth. Thank you
