February 14, 2006

Doha, Qatar, witnessed an increase in the number of erectile dysfunction (ED) treatment seekers. The number of patients seeking treatment for ED or impotency of varied etiology, at the specialized clinic of the Hamad Medical Corporation, rose by almost 50 per cent last year. Diabetes and sedentary lifestyles that cause a hormonal imbalance among males is the main cause of such sexual disorders.

In 2004, some 740 men sought treatment for impotency caused by various reasons in Doha. Last year though, this number had risen to over 1,100 cases. Despite such a high number of patients, several men continued to suffer silently, without opting for medical treatment due to stigmas attached to ED, the simple medical disorder. Studies had shown that 10 per cent of afflicted males suffer from full-blown impotency while 25 per cent have partial impotency. Some 10 per cent have impotency in its initial phase. ED or impotency can be treated with the proper usage of drugs such as Viagra, Cialis and Levitra.
