Impotence Causes |
The word impotence brings on a feeling of dread in men. It is considered to be one of the major issues that men of today face. Previously, it was considered to be an issue that only old or sick men suffered from, but that is not the case anymore. Impotence is now common even in men who are in their 30s and 40s. Not only does smoking affect a man's ability to form an erection but it is also responsible for decreasing a man's sperm count, increasing sperm mortality and decreasing a man's sex drive.There are a number of other lifestyle factors that make a man more likely to suffer from impotence. Being overweight and not exercising often are possible causes sexual dysfunction.Cigarettes contains nicotine which causes restriction to the arteries. If this occurs, the chemicals released occurs when a man becomes aroused cannot adequately send the right signals to allow a penis to relax. Instead there is a restriction of blood flow to and through the genital area. When nicotine travels through the arteries it restricts the ability to trap blood flowing specifically to the penile tissue and thereby makes it more and more difficult for men to keep an erection for sexual intercourse. A man's psychology is so different from a woman that the things that make him confident are things where he sees himself as a powerful being. This power is displayed in the form of performance in the bedroom and fathering children. The problem with men suffering from impotence is that many men do not wish to accept the facts and continue to put up appearances that all is fine and they are as powerful as anyone else. This is the reason why they do not seek help from professionals. This means even the treatable issues never receive treatment and they continue to suffer in silence. |
