Causes Of Impotence
By Dr Pratap
Impotence or Erectile
Dysfunction is a consistent inability to either attain or sustain an
erection, which is sufficient for sexual intercourse. Impotence is
different from other problems that interfere with sexual intercourse,
for e.g. Lack of desire or difficulties with ejaculation or orgasm. It
roughly affects about 15-20 million Americans in the age group of
40-50. How do men get an Erection? The Penis contains two chambers,
made of spongy tissue, which run the length of the penis. This tissue
consists of smooth muscles, fibrous tissue, spaces, Veins and arteries.
These chambers (called corpora cavernosa) are surrounded by a membrane.
The Urethra, which is a common passage for urine and Semen, runs along
the underside of this chamber. When stimuli from the brain and other
local nerves causes the smooth muscles of the chambers to relax blood
flows in to flood the open spaces and gets trapped, creating a pressure
in the chambers hardening the penis. When these muscles contract, blood
trapped is allowed to low out, relaxing the penis.
Causes of Impotence:
To achieve and sustain an Erection, all events described above must
happen in a sequence. If any of them is skipped, erection may not occur
or may not be sustained. The brain must generate nerve impulses that
are transmitted via spinal cord down to the penis. As a response to
these impulses muscles, fibrous tissues, veins and arteries in and
around the corpora cavernosa are filled with blood. The most common
causes of impotence is damage to the fibrous tissues, veins, arteries
smooth muscles etc. Many diseases can cause this damage. Amongst these,
the most common are:
1. Atherosclerosis
2. Diabetes
3. Chronic smoking
or Tobacco
4. Alcoholism
5. Multiple
Sclerosis, an Auto Immune Disease
6. Kidney Ailments
7. Psychological
Disorders - Stress, Depression,
Performance Pressure
8. Long Term Use of
certain Drugs - Long term use
of certain antihistamines, anti depressants, drugs for treating high
blood pressure, antidepressants, tranquilizers, appetite suppressants,
antacids may result in impotence. Atherosclerosis or hardening of the
arteries and vascular diseases generally responsible for about 65 - 70%
of cases of impotence. Almost 35 - 50% of men suffering from diabetes
develop impotence.
A study in the recent
past found that the Erectile
Dysfunction to also be associated with bicycling. The number of hours
on a bike put pressure on the penis from the saddle of an upright
bicycle. Injury to the spinal cord, bladder, prostate, pelvis or penis
can cause impotence by damage to the nerves, smooth muscle arteries and
fibrous tissues of the corpora cavernosa. Also the surgery in pelvic
area can damage nerves or blood vessels, results in impotence. About 30
- 35% of the cases of impotence are because of psychological reasons.
These includes depression, anxiety, stress, guilt, fear of being
caught, fear of failure, lack of correct sex knowledge, myths and
misconceptions regarding sex. These factors are generally associated
with more than 80% of the cases of Impotence. A better and simple way
to isolate between physiological and psychological impotence is to
check if the patient ever had an erection. If it is more then it is
likely to be psychological while less means physiological.

Remedies and Dietary Recommendations those are effective in Impotence:
There are natural Remedies for ED as well which can be recommended for
a treatment without much side-effect. L-arginine is an amino acid that
is abundant in meat, poultry, fish and dairy products. The body uses
arginine to make nitric oxide, which aids in relaxing the blood
vessels. It should however be taken only in moderation as high intake
will be responsible for increase in stomach acid and consequently
ulcer.
Ashwagandha or
"Indian Ginseng" is a tonic herb believed to be
capable of strengthening the body and more traditionally used to
increase the sexual capacity as an aphrodisiac. Damiana used
traditionally in Mexico as a male aphrodisiac. It has a mild effect.
Siberian ginseng is believed to be an aphrodisiac which affects the
system of the body that is in need of support. It is considered one of
the superior remedies for impotence.
Traditionally Chinese
practitioners used lyceum berries and lotus seeds to help cure
impotence while enhancing kidney and liver energy. Saw Palmetto is used
to treat Erectile Dysfunction, especially when mixed with other herbs.
It basically reduces the conversion of testosterone into
dihydrotestosterone. The bark from a Yohimbe tree found in West Africa
is a traditional aphrodisiac and also forms the source of yohimbine, a
prescription drug for Erectile Dysfunction. It increases the libido as
well as decreases the period between ejaculations. This is not
recommended because of the dosage range. Too high a dose of this herb
may be toxic and too low a dose may have no effect. They should hence
be taken with caution.
