But there is a problem facing which men all over the world prefer self-torturing, spoiling relations with relatives, losing faith in themselves but by no means admitting the presence of serious health problems. This is impotency.
Yan Rassel - a famous Scottish urinologist says that on average men hesitate to go to the doctor for 2 years. They don't understand that it is very dangerous to neglect their illness. American scientists think the same way. They counted up; that approximately 50 per cent of men over 50 have problems with potency and only one tenth of them consult a doctor.
It is very important to know that impotency can be cured, but the treatment should be prescribed by a doctor. Some men buy Viagra and other medicines without any doctor's prescription and gain a good but temporary effect. Furthermore it can lead to total and final impotency. As usually impotency is just a consequence but not the main problem.
Reasons of impotency:
According to medical statistics the most widespread sexual disorder is an erection dysfunction, i.e. impossibility of gaining and holding erection enough to satisfy one's sexual needs. Impotency is an absolute impossibility of having sex, and this illness is rather rare.
There are a lot of reasons for impotency. First of all, it is necessary to mention that all men can make a flip it is a normal situation. Some medicines can also cause temporary impotency. A doctor should prescribe another drug without that side effect and normal sexual function will be restored.
But there are other more serious reasons for impotency, still they can be cured with a help of a qualified doctor. Impotency can be a side effect of some other disease: hormone disbalance, diabetes, depression, stress, and other psychological problems. It is well known that impotency can be a marker of future problems with a heart. A well known urologist Andrew MacCollo a director of men urology department in New York's Medical University gave a very good example:"If the tap in your kitchen doesn't work, that means that it is broken or there is no water in the pipes." And in the case of men's impotency it is often caused by cholesterol plaques which block up arteries and impede normal blood flow. That's why it is extremely important to consult a doctor as soon as possible. Men should know that heart diseases are the main reason of early men's death.
Diagnostics:
First of all a good specialist should determine that impotency is absolute. If erection happens 1 in 100 times the problem is surely lies in psychological sphere.
A doctor can determine a problem with a help of examination. For example the length of testicle should be more than 3,5 cm. otherwise hormone disbalance is to be treated. Common blood test on sugar is also rather useful; it can determine the beginning of diabetes. And even a slight form of diabetes can lead to impotency. It is impossible to find out these reasons staying at home, as a general condition can be normal and a patient won't feel any discomfort so it can lead to serious troubles with health. Usually just a simple balanced diet can stabilize health condition and erection as well.
To exclude atherosclerosis a doctor should take the pulse of the patient, and then check reflexes, presence of pain sensation and neurological abnormalities. Specialist should also check the presence of normal blood pressure in penis.
Treatment:
The treatment of impotency always consists of a complex of measures. A real professional at first will find out the reason of the problem and then advice a complex of treatment actions.
