What is impotence

Impotence, also known as erectile dysfunction (ED), is a common problem that can affect men of all ages.
It describes the persistent inability to get or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual intercourse.
Although it is often perceived as embarrassing, it is important to address this issue openly as it may be an indication of other health problems.

Causes of impotence

The causes of impotence are varied and can have both physical and psychological reasons. Common physical causes are cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, high blood pressure and hormonal disorders. Psychological causes can be stress, anxiety, depression or relationship problems. A combination of both factors is often responsible.

Treatment options

A thorough diagnosis is the first step towards effective treatment.
Your urologist will take a detailed medical history and perform physical examinations.
In addition, blood tests and imaging techniques such as ultrasound can be used to determine the exact cause.

There are various treatment options for impotence, ranging from medication and hormone therapy to mechanical aids and surgery.
Lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet, regular exercise and stress reduction can also make a significant improvement.
Your urologist will discuss the best options with you based on your individual situation.

When should you see a doctor?

If you regularly have difficulty getting or maintaining an erection, you should see a urologist. Early diagnosis and treatment can not only improve your quality of life, but also prevent serious health problems. Do not hesitate to seek professional help.
