Sexual impotence is a relatively common problem, but it can be cured. For this, it is necessary to make an appropriate medical evaluation in a urologist, to identify the cause of the problem and define the best treatment option.
Some of the most commonly used therapies to treat sexual impotence include doing therapy as a couple, using medication, taking injections, using vacuum devices or, ultimately, having surgery to place a penile prosthesis, for example.
It is important to highlight that maintaining the quality of life and health is of fundamental importance to avoid impotence. The control of sedentary lifestyle, obesity, stress, cholesterol, high blood pressure and diabetes are essential. Drugs, cigarettes and excessive alcohol consumption should also be avoided.
The treatment for erectile dysfunction depends on the cause that may be at its origin, such as:
1. Stress and psychological pressure
Usually this type of impotence, known as psychological impotence, should be treated through psychological or psychiatric monitoring, preferably as a couple.
The psychological cause is quite common, and can happen as a result of overwork, stress, bad sexual experiences that occurred in childhood or even in adulthood. Impotence is often related to a specific event and has a sudden onset, such as after marital separation, change in affection for the partner or financial problems.
Normally in cases of psychological impotence, morning and evening erections are maintained, and it is necessary to take medication only if there is some other associated organic cause.
2. Diabetes
Impotence due to diabetes is curable, and it is necessary to keep all factors related to the disease under control. Vascular changes, neurological complications, psychological factors, hormonal changes and side effects of typical diabetes medications must be properly controlled.
The treatment of impotence due to diabetes is done by controlling the values of sugar and blood pressure, maintaining the ideal weight, practicing physical exercises and periodic visits to the doctor.
3. Cigarette use
The first step in treating an impotence caused by smoking is to stop smoking. Cigarettes reduce the flow of blood in the blood vessels of the male sexual organ, making erection difficult or even preventing it, causing impotence.
These changes can happen slowly, but everything will depend on the number of cigarettes smoked per day, smoking time and association with other risk factors such as high blood pressure and diabetes.
The doctor may also prescribe some type of treatment to help stop smoking or drugs that work directly on the male organ during intimate contact, such as sildenafil and apomorphine hydrochloride.
