Facts and Myths About Impotence

Impotence is the resultant of the abnormal functioning of the male reproductive system which makes the men infertile and incapable to produce the offspring.  Also, the physical injury to penis, depression, anxiety, and lack of confidence causes the impotence in some men. But, nowadays due to the ignorance and mouth to mouth publicity lot of myths about the impotence are spread worldwide. So, I have tried to clear out some myths about the impotence, its causes, and its effects. Mentioned below are some myths about the impotence along with the original facts.

Myth: Impotence can not be cured

Fact: This is the first common myth that has been spread most widely in spite of the various medications available to cure it. This myth has ruined the life of many individuals because they believed in this myth and spend the most pleasurable time of their life without the sex. Impotence can be easily cured with the help of medicines like Kamagra, Apcalis, Levitra, etc. These pills have the success rate of around 85%. But, if you fail to overcome impotence with these pills then the only option left is to opt for the surgical treatments. This includes the insertion of the malleable rod inside the penis that supports men during the sexual activity. You can also go for the treatment like vacuum pumps and impotence injections. If you suffer with impotence then please visit the doctor and clear all the myths about it.

Myth: Impotence is only observed in Old men

Fact: Old men are certainly more prone to impotence and maximum number of impotence patients are also old men, but this doesn’t mean that only old men suffer with the impotence. From the worldwide case study of impotence, it has been observed that 30% men suffering with impotence are in age group of 20 to 35 years. Impotence is related with the age but due to the tensions and stress faced by the individuals from the latest generations, the cases of the impotence are on rise in the young men.

Myth: Impotence means infertility

Fact: This myth is absolutely a wrong statement developed by the lamentable knowledge about the impotence. Impotent man can be fertile because this was proved through the study that impotent men have a good amount of sperms that are enough to produce the offspring. Infertility is caused when the person is not having an enough amount of mature sperms to make the women pregnant. Impotence and infertility are certainly linked, but we can’t guarantee that every impotent man in infertile. Only the mechanism of the erection is affected when men suffer from the impotence, whereas the production of sperms is found to be absolutely okay.

Myth: Drinking alcohol or smoking tobacco causes impotence

Fact: Remember that drinking alcohol in excess is certainly going to cause the impotence problem, but if you take the alcohol in limit then it will not affect your sex life at all. But, please remember that drinking alcohol in injurious to health and it is better that you neglect alcohol because you once take it then get addicted to it. Medical research has proven that smoking does cause impotence by decreasing the blood flow into the penis. But, it means that smoking a lot. This particular myth is getting true day by day and I would rather accept this myth as a truth because both drinking as well as smoking are unhealthy habits and you need to stay away from these habits if you want to live longer and stay healthy.

Myth: Impotence is only a physical problem

Fact: Rating impotence as only a physical problem would be wrong because more than 30% cases of the impotence are found to be caused by the anxiety alone. Although the majority of diagnosed impotence cases are a result of physical diseases that cause damage to nerves, fibrous tissues, and arteries we can not call impotence only as physical problem. Impotence is also observed many times only due to the performance pressure and nervousness in men.

So, first visit the doctor as you face the impotence problem because he would be deciding whether it is caused by the physical problem or by mental imbalance. Then on this basis he will decide whether you need to take any medicines or it will be treated by mental counseling.
