Male Impotence

Male impotence is a sexual disorder in which a man cannot have an erection for a sufficient amount of time during sex. This leads to unhappiness and dissatisfaction and can often lead to clinical depressions, if not treated in time. Treatment for male impotence can range from surgery, vacuum therapy to oral treatments.

Often as a last resort, people who suffer from male impotence undergo surgeries. In a typical surgery artificial rods are inserted into the penis, which makes the penis erect.

Vacuum therapy is another process which helps in countering male impotence. In this case a penis pump is used just before a sexual intercourse. The pump is like a vacuum cylinder which helps to draw blood by the use of suction. To maintain the erection, a ring is inserted into the base of the penis.

The most popular way of fighting male impotence is however, by taking oral pills. Today, millions of people depend on Viagra for their sexual potency. These pills are made from Sildenafil which helps in maintaining erection of the penis for a considerable amount of time. It is usually prescribed by the physicians and has to be taken one or two hours before the intercourse.
