Impotence, or erectile dysfunction, is defined as an erection that is not hard enough to penetrate the vagina under appropriate circumstances and stimulation, or an erection that does not last long enough to complete sexual intercourse, and that occurs more frequently than 50% of the frequency of sexual intercourse. According to the survey, the prevalence of erectile dysfunction among men aged 40-70 years is 52%, and the incidence increases with age. Erectile dysfunction is broadly divided into three categories: one is organic, such as: penile vascular neuropathy, endocrine abnormalities; two for the psychological, mostly due to central inhibition; three for the mixed, organic and psychological factors together, about 70% of patients for the mixed type. In recent years, with the widespread use of Viagra, the treatment of erectile dysfunction has made great progress, and most patients with psychological erectile dysfunction are treated well, but the efficacy of patients with organic erectile dysfunction is poor. The mechanism of action of Viagra is to effectively inhibit phosphodiesterase in the penile corpus cavernosum, which indirectly plays the role of expanding blood vessels. It is popular among patients because of the convenience of oral administration and confidentiality. Although Viagra is highly effective, it does not cure all erectile dysfunction, so other drugs are particularly important.
