What is impotence

Speaking of impotence, men should be more familiar with it. This is a disease unique to men. The specific manifestations are the inability to have an erection when there is sexual desire, or the erection is not firm, and ejaculation is too rapid. This situation has a huge impact on men, so people need to pay special attention to it. Here we will introduce in detail what impotence is.

"Impotence" is the former name for "erectile dysfunction (ED)". In 1992, after discussion among relevant experts, the National Institutes of Health decided to replace the term impotence with the term erectile dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction (ED) refers to the inability to achieve and maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual intercourse over the past three months. ED is one of the most common sexual dysfunctions in men. Although ED is not a life-threatening disease, it is closely related to the patient's quality of life, sexual partner relationship, and family stability. It is also an early warning sign of many physical diseases.

The medical definition of impotence is that the penis is not hard enough to complete sexual intercourse after erection, or the penis becomes flaccid during sexual intercourse. Impotence is not terrible. Further examination is needed to clarify the specific cause of impotence, whether it is insufficient hormone levels or penile cavernous body lesions. Then choose targeted drug treatment, which will be more effective.

Male erectile dysfunction mainly refers to the inability of the penis to erect during sexual intercourse, or the lack of erection hardness, and the inability to maintain an erection. If the above typical symptoms are present, it means that impotence exists. Impotence is divided into organic, psychological and mixed impotence. For psychological impotence, patients can take Baiyunshan Jinge (Viagra) under the guidance of a doctor to help patients restore normal erectile function; for organic and mixed impotence, patients can first control the primary disease through systemic treatment, and then combine specialist treatment to restore normal erectile function.
