Information on the types
of impotence
Impotence is a common ailment experienced by most of
the men at some point of their life. It's the men's
inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient
for sexual
intercourse. It includes the failure to get an erection
as a result of lack of sexual stimulation or losing
of erection prior to ejaculation.
Types of impotence
Arteriogenic impotence: The blood
to the penis is supplied by the arteries. When arteries
narrow, they fail to bring in sufficient blood to the
penis resulting in erectile
dysfunction. It mainly occurs in elderly people.
Those who are diabetic or have high blood pressure are
also prone to it. The occurrence of Arteriogenic impotence
due to injuries is common but often goes unnoticed because
of ignorance.
Venogenic impotence: During erection,
the veins of the penis close down in a normal individual.
This hardens the penis assisting a complete erection.
But when the veins leak blood, the penis fails to sustain
an erection thus leading to Venogenic impotence. It
is the most common form of impotence which accounts
to 30-70% of impotence.
Neurogenic impotence: The nerve supply
to the penis is a sensitive and complicated process.
These nerves control the arteries and veins, which change
the blood flow within the penis. An injury to the back
or other nerves related to the penis can cause Neurogenic
impotence. Many operations on the rectum, prostrate,
urethra, spine and urinary bladder are performed for
improving the performance.
Impotence from Diabetes Mellitus:
Diabetes
and Impotence are linked in so many ways therefore
impotence is very common among diabetics. According
to studies, around 50% of diabetics are patients of
male impotence.
Endocrinologic impotence: Endocrinologic
impotence occurs due to an imbalance of sex hormones
in the blood stream. Nearly 5 to 10% of men suffer from
Endocrinologic impotence.
Mixed impotence: More than one factor
causes impotence in men. It could be physical factors
as well as psychological factors. Mixed impotence refers
to this form of impotence.
Psychogenic impotence: Impotence at
times can occur due to some sort of psychological complications.
In such cases, there will be no physical factors accompanying
erectile dysfunction. This state of impotence is called
psychogenic impotence.
See a doctor if you have difficulty in attaining or
maintaining an erection. The earlier you find out, the
easier it becomes to diagnose and treat this sexual
ailment.
