Can impotence be cured? How long is the treatment? What if the impotence treatment is not effective? This is a problem that every person with the disease will be concerned about, but the question is too general to answer, broken down so that you can understand. 1. Why is the penis able to become erect? The penis is composed of three columnar corpus cavernosum, two of which play a role in erection is called the penile corpus cavernosum, penile corpus cavernosum inside the spongy small cavities by the composition of the spongy, so named. When the penis is erected, arterial blood enters the corpus cavernosum quickly, while venous blood flow nearly stops, and the pressure inside the corpus cavernosum rises, so the penis gets a hard erection. 2. What is impotence? A hard erection requires a certain level of intracavernous pressure, and the intracavernous pressure needs to be at the level of 100mmHg during erection in order to have a hard erection. Decrease in intracavernous pressure due to any reason manifests as impotence. 3. What are the common causes of impotence? Any pressure that affects the blood filling within the cavernous body of the penis will affect erection. Common causes include: damage to arterial function leading to insufficient arterial blood supply (e.g. diabetes, hormone deficiency, high blood lipids, atherosclerosis, etc.), excessive venous blood outflow (venous leakage due to various reasons). Fatigue, smoking, excessive stress (e.g., first sexual intercourse or failed sexual experience, etc.) can cause arterial spasms, resulting in impotence due to a decrease in arterial blood flow to the penis. Other causes include impotence caused by the side effects of certain medications (e.g. anti-androgen drugs, antidepressants, antihypertensive drugs and diuretics, etc.). 4. Can impotence be cured? Impotence can be cured as long as the goal of treatment is correct. The goal of impotence treatment is to be able to have a satisfactory sex life, so for impotence, even if the drug treatment is not satisfactory, surgery can be done. So from this point of view impotence can be cured. 5.How long does impotence need to be treated? The course of impotence treatment is also uncertain. Some patients suffer from the disease is due to fatigue and sub-health, generally through the adjustment of lifestyle, active rest and exercise will gradually recover. Some patients will be involved in endocrine metabolic problems, a short period of time will be more difficult to completely cure, so we must do long-term treatment and rehabilitation plan, in the reasonable drug treatment, at the same time, we should actively adjust the lifestyle, including exercise, eat more vegetables and fruits and so on. 6, impotence treatment effect is not good how to do? The purpose of impotence treatment in the international consensus has been achieved, is to be able to complete a satisfactory sex life after treatment. No matter what kind of treatment, after a period of treatment, if the fruit erection is still unsatisfactory, don’t do unnecessary persistence, this persistence will only waste time and money. According to my experience, a treatment that is effective will usually take effect within a month.
