The Major Male Impotence Causes

 

Impotence, also referred to as erectile dysfunction (ED) can be defined as the incapability of a man to achieve and maintain an erection. It can be extremely embarrassing for men. However, it is a very common condition and it is estimated that about half of the men between the age of 40 and 70 suffer from this medical condition. It is advisable to visit a doctor if you observe that you have erectile dysfunction for more than a few weeks.

 

When a man is sexually aroused, his brain sends signals to the nerves in his penis to increase the blood flow through the penis, thereby, making it expand and hardening it. However, if there is any form of interference with the blood circulation or the nervous system, it could lead to erectile dysfunction. Anything that interferes with the sexual arousal of a man can also cause impotence.
