We now have a better understanding of the causes of impotence, what is
responsible for a man's inability to achieve and/or maintain an erection.
Definition of Impotence
- impotence also known as, erectile dysfunction is defined as the inability
to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for mutually satisfying
intercourse.
Until recently, if you sought medical impotence treatment for your impotence
symptoms you were told "It's all in your head". Doctors labeled you with
some psychological "situation" and you were referred to a psychologist for
counseling.
Today, these same doctors are more aggressive, armed with a prescription
pad. They are prescribing the popular impotence medications,
Viagra,
Cialis,
Levitra,
Uprima that
have been proven in so many clinical studies to significantly help men
achieve enhanced erections.

Causes of
Impotence (erectile
dysfunction)
Historically, if you consulted your doctor concerning impotence you would
usually be informed there were no known physiological answers concerning the
cause of your impotence. Today, a generation of research has
resulted in significant advances in both the diagnosis and treatment of the
cause of impotence . Doctors now understand that approximately 85% of
impotence is attributable to physical/organic conditions while only 15% is
due to psychological or mixed origin (both psychological and organic).
Some important causes of impotence are as follows:
Vascular Disease As An
Impotence Cause
Vascular
Disease is the leading cause of impotence. Vascular disorders include
arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), hypertension, hyper-cholestremia
and other conditions which interfere with the blood flow to the penis.
Additionally, "venous leakage", a condition occurring when the penile veins
are unable to constrict efficiently during an erection, also contributes to
poor erections. When these veins "leak", blood escapes to the
periphery resulting in a poor erection.
Diabetes As An
Impotence Cause - is another common cause of impotence.
Approximately 50% of men with insulin dependent diabetes experience some
degree of impotence symptoms after 55 years old. Diabetes results in
poor circulation and/or peripheral neuropathy. When the nerves are
involved, sexual stimuli are not transmitted appropriately to or from the
brain and impotence symptoms develop.
Neurological Diseases
As An Impotence Cause -
such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, spinal cord injuries and
long term effects of diabetes can also result in the disruption of the
normal sequence of events necessary for an erection to occur.
Endocrine System As An
Impotence Cause

Deficiencies in the Endocrine System are another source of impotence. Low
levels of testosterone or thyroid hormone can interfere with the stimulation
process necessary in the erection sequence. Excessive production of
prolactin by the pituitary gland may contribute to decreased levels of
testosterone resulting in a lack of desire. Diabetes once again enters
the scenario as it is classified as an endocrine disorder.
Prescription Medications That Cause
Impotence
Prescription medications
often cause impotence as a side effect. Some two hundred known
medications fall into this category including:
Antihypertensives
medications specifically:
- Beta-blockers
e.g. Atenolol, Propanolol and Tenorium.
- Diuretics medications
e.g. HydroDiuril and Lasix.
- Ace Inhibitors/Calcium
Channel Blockers - medications e.g. Vasotec®, Lotension®, Cardizem®
and Norvasc® periodically cause impotence, however, they are generally
represent an excellent alternative medication for individuals with drug
induced impotence.
Antidepressant/Antipsychotic medications -of almost any label can
also result in impotence e.g. Prozac®, Elavil®, Zoloft®, Thorazine® and
Haldol®. Note: Many other medications in a variety of classes can
periodically cause impotence. If you take a prescription
medication or an over-the-counter medication, regularly, please consult
with your physician.
However,
do not alter a dosage or discontinue a prescription drug without the
advice of your doctor.
Most of the
impotence treatment drugs are completely safe to take while on your
other medications (click here for details).
Smoking As A
Cause Of Impotence
Smoking as been linked to
impotence in numerous clinical studies.
The most common causes of the
organic component in individuals with impotence are vascular abnormalities
associated with atherosclerosis and diabetes mellitus. Atherosclerosis
causes 40% of cases of impotence, and in cases of diabetes mellitus the
prevalence of impotence is 50%. Smoking is significantly associated with the
development of both atherosclerosis and diabetes mellitus. Smoking
also causes hypertension a known contributor to impotence.
The Epidemiology
and Pathophysiology of Impotence.
The Journal of Urology 1999 Jan; 161(1):5-11

After smoking two cigarettes, the diameter of the internal pudendal artery
narrows and the penile arteries almost completely close. This evidence
suggests that smoking can cause an acute vasospastic constriction of the
arteries in the penis. These observations are supported by physiological
evidence that nicotine causes acute peripheral vasoconstriction.
Acute Vasospasm of Penile Arteries in Response to Cigarette Smoking. Urology
1990; 36(1):99-100
Researchers at Wake Forest
University, concluded that male smokers who suffer from long standing
hypertension are 26 times more likely to be impotent than those
individuals who do not smoke.
Ocotber 2008, The Journal of Family Practice.
Aside from impotence,
smoking as also been linked to the following negative effect concerning male
sexual health:
- Reduced volume of
ejaculation
- Lowered sperm count
- Abnormal sperm shape
- Impaired sperm motility
Fortunately
there is now an effective stop smoking drug, Zyban that will help you stop
smoking without the nicotine cravings (click here for details).
Additional Causes of Impotence (erectile
dysfunction)
LH-RH Analogs/Antiandrogen
Medications As An Impotence Cause e.g. Lupron
Depot®, Eulexin®, Nilandron®, Casodex®, etc. are medications are used in the
treatment of prostate cancer. They function by decreasing the
production of testosterone in the testes and adrennal glands, which decrease
in testosterone often results in impotence.
Chemotherapy/Radiation
As An Impotence Cause
- therapy is also a significant contributors toimpotence symptoms.
These drugs/treatments are used in the treatment of cancer.
Substance Abuse As An
Impotence Cause
- can also negatively effect male potency. The chronic use of cocaine,
marijuana, alcohol, steroids etc. often results in Impotence, as well as, a
decrease in sexual desire. Excessive tobacco use can also attribute to
impotence by accentuating the effects of other risk factor such as vascular
disease or hypertension.
Radical Pelvic Surgery
As An Impotence Cause
- can also be a cause of impotence. Surgical procedures involving the
prostate gland, bladder or colon may interfere with the nerves involved in
the erectile response. Radiation therapy for cancer may also effect
the erectile process.
Psychological Impotence
As An Impotence Cause
is usually diagnosed when no physical causes can be defined. Pure
psychological Impotence usually occurs suddenly without warning as opposed
to physical impotence that may gradually develop over the years.
Some common causes of
psychological impotence
(erectile
dysfunction)
are as follows:
- Performance Anxiety
As An Impotence Cause - is one of the most common causes of
psychological impotence. When a man feels pressured to achieve or
maintain an erection, he will commonly become anxious and nervous when
in a sexually demanding situation. Stress increases the body's
production of catecholamines such as adrenaline and nor- adrenaline,
which act as erection inhibitors. The release of these inhibitors
further contributes to failure resulting in more anxiety.
Therefore, the cycle begins, increased stress resulting in increased
catecholomines that further inhibits the erectile process.
- Depression As
An Impotence Cause - is another cause of psychogenic impotence.
Unfortunately, many of the popular antidepressant medications (for a
list see prescription medications in the above section) have side
effects which include impotence symptoms.
Anatomical Deviation of
the Penis As An Impotence Cause

Anatomical Deviation of the Penis, known as Peyronie's Disease, may also
cause impotence. This condition usually develops from an inflammatory
process and results in fibrous scaring of the penis. The cause of this
process is not yet understood; however, when an erection does occur,
there is a bending of the penis secondary to the scar tissue. This
curvature may interfere with erectile capacity and/or ejaculation.
