Impotence Treatment Drugs

Men and Erectile Dysfunction

Man made drugs get more blood into the penis and make it hard and they do this by, increasing nitric oxide secretion which allows the blood vessels that lead into the penis, to take more blood in and harden it. At the same time, drugs such as Viagra, prevent PDE5 which is seen as a major reason for impotence and erectile dysfunction.

Two herbs which will do the same as these synthetic drugs are, Cnidium and Horny Goat Weed, these herbs will get the blood into the penis for a thick and hard erection and do it naturally.

We have just seen that herbs can get more blood into the penis but they can also increase libido as well; to have a high sex drive, you need lots of the male sex hormone testosterone and you can get more, from the herbs Tribulus and Tongkat Ali. Both these herbs will increase testosterone and also contain nutrients, to increase energy which leads to an increase in libido.

Stress and anxiety are known passion killers, as they leave you unable to think about sex and at the same time, this depletes body energy and when body energy is low, so to is libido.

To fight stress and anxiety, you can take Ginseng and Schizandra Berries, both of which are great herbs, to increase energy levels and libido.

Between the ages of 20 and 45 years 70% of erectile dysfunction or Impotence will have a psychogenic cause; while between the ages 60 years and upwards 70% of erectile dysfunction will be have a physiological cause. Or if you want to simplify this even further you could say that most Erectile Dysfunction in younger men is caused by anxiety about their performance while most erectile dysfunctions in older men are caused by physical factors like hardening or their arteries or lowering of their testosterone levels - the so-called Testosterone Deficiency Syndrome.

In any case, suffice here to make this point: There is a huge difference between the type of erectile dysfunction that young men get and the type of Impotence that the older man gets.

A male needs specialist management if he is ever to enjoy a meaningful sexual relationship again. There is now a growing body of clinical evidence that low testosterone levels can play a major contributory role in causing Erectile Dysfunction in older men.

Therefore, when appropriate, Testosterone Replacement Therapy or TRT can play a significant part in restoring satisfactory sexual function. Often, when conventional erectile dysfunction medications fail to bring about resolution, the addition of TRT can make all the difference.
