Allopathic treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) or impotence

Allopathy treatment gives a lot of emphasis to :

• Psychotherapy, counselling.
• Regular exercises, which increases blood flow to all parts of the body, increase level of male hormones, increase levels of certain neurohormones which are mood elevators.

When psychotherapy fails to boost the person's self-image interventional modes are tried :

• Drugs (oral drugs, penile suppositories, ointments, injectibles hormone treatments and so on.)
• Vacuum devices - these work by drawing blood into the penis. It must be used just before intercourse.
• Surgery - as a last resort when all other methods fail to better erectile dysfunction (ED) or impotence. Prosthetic implants (artificial rods) are inserted into the penis and allowed to remain there. However, these are very expensive and also irreversible.

All treatments aim at helping the individual achieve an erection and maintaining it long enough to perform intercourse. However, no treatment can provide a permanent cure for erectile dysfunction (ED) or impotence in allopathy.

Few experiences are as disheartening to the intimacy of a loving couple as erectile dysfunction, the inability of the male partner to achieve and maintain an erection.

This means even though a man has a strong desire to perform sexual act with a cooperative partner, he can not perform sexual act because of looseness (absense of erection) of his penis. Even if he performs the sexual act with his determined efforts he does not get the erection and gets afflicted with tiredness, perspiration and frustration to perform sex or intercourse.

The term erectile dysfunction can mean the inability to achieve erection, an inconsistent ability to do so, or the ability to achieve only brief erections. ED (erectile dysfunction) may sometimes be even termed as Impotence.

The likelihood of developing ED (erectile dysfunction or impotence) increases with age. It is estimated that 1 in 10 men over the age of 21 suffer from impotence of ED (erectile dysfunction); most men suffer in silence. In America today, it is estimated that 25 to 30 million men suffer from erectile dysfunction, also known as impotence or ED.

Erection of penis is a sequential event and any disruption in this sequence can cause erectile dysfunction (ED) or impotence. The sequence includes nerve impulse in brain, spinal column, area around penis and response in muscles, fibrous tissues, veins and arteries in and around corpora cavernosa.

Most cases (70 to 80%) have some underlying pathology behind erectile dysfunction (ED) or impotence. In older men, ED usually has a physical cause. Incidence increases with age.

Erectile dysfunction (ED) or impotence does not have to be a part of getting older. It is true that as you get older, you may need more stimulation (such as stroking or touching) to get an erection. You might also need more time between erections. But older men should still be able to get an erection and enjoy sex.
