Impotence – a potency problem

What is impotence?

Impotence or a potency problem is the partial or complete inability of a man to have satisfactory sexual activity, or the inability to achieve or maintain an erection long enough during sexual intercourse to be acceptable to both partners. Professionally, this condition is called impotence or erectile dysfunction.

Although impotence is considered a problem that is common in older population, the problem with impotence is quite common in the younger men as well. In fact, as many as 3% of men who report a potency problem are under the age of 30. It is a condition that is uncomfortable for many, but, after determining the basic causes that led to impotence, this condition can be treated very effectively.

Causes of potency problems

1. Psychological (fear, insecurity, trauma, excessive worry, anxiety, depression…) and

2. Physiological (vascular diseases such as atherosclerosis, anemia, obesity, diabetes, Crohn's disease, excessive corticosteroid intake, prostatectomy…)

The cure for impotence depends on the cause

Due to various factors that lead to impotence, there are several ways to treat it. Depending on the causes that led to impotence, but also the specific health condition and the patient's medical history, a treatment plan is made. Even in cases when the cause of impotence is of a physical nature, it can still have psychological effects. Impotence can lead to lower self-esteem and anxiety, which can further complicate an erection. Therefore, the treatment plan may include both physical and psychological methods. Here are all the methods that can positively affect the potency problem:

Solving the problem of impotence in Fizionova

In most cases, the cause of potency problems is insufficient blood supply to the penis, and this is called Vascular Erectile Dysfunction. To treat this problem, we at the Fizionova Center, perform a non-invasive treatment which doesn’t include consummation of any additional medications. It is a treatment with FSWT - Focus Therapy, with which, with only 6 therapies lasting 15 minutes each, it is possible to solve the problem of impotence. This innovative method is only available in our Center in the territory of Southeast Europe.

The treatment of impotence with the FSWT - Focus Therapy is very simple. It is performed without anesthesia, which means there is no pain. How it functions is that focused low-intensity waves stimulate blood flow and create new blood vessels in the vascular network of the penis.

With this therapeutic concept, in 85% of cases, the problem of Vascular Erectile Dysfunction is successfully solved.

Lifestyle changes

In addition to the most modern therapeutic concept in the FIZIONOVA Center, a patient who has a problem with Vascular Erectile Dysfunction, would need to change bad life habits (alcohol, smoking…).

Here are suggestions for lifestyle changes that positively affect erection:

1. Exercises for relaxation and stress control (meditation)

2. Exercising to improve blood flow

3. If necessary, weight loss in order to lower blood pressure and improve cholesterol and testosterone levels

4. Dietary changes, especially in men with diabetes and cardiovascular disease

Kegel exercises as a solution for impotence

Exercises to strengthen the pelvic floor muscle, the so-called Kegel exercises, are not reserved only for women, but are also recommended for men. There are many factors that influence the muscles of the pelvic floor to weaken: diabetes, hyperactive bladder, prostate removal surgery (prostatectomy), Crohn's disease. Exercise for the pelvic floor muscle is first and foremost recommended for urinary and fecal incontinence, but it has been proven to have a positive effect on Vascular Erectile Dysfunction as well.

Counseling as a natural solution for impotence

Impotence can negatively affect self-esteem, libido, and can lead to a state of depression and anxiety. That is why it is very important to talk about the problem with your partner, but also with professionals. In the event that impotence has appeared as a result of other psychological problems, such as alcoholism or other forms of addiction, it is crucial to treat both cause and effect. A prolonged problem with potency can deepen an already existing psychological problem in men.

Alternative methods of solving the problem of impotence

There are studies that confirm that some herbal supplements and alternative therapies, such as acupuncture, offer a natural solution for impotence. It is generally known that the risks associated with the use of acupuncture and herbal supplements are very small. However, more efficient and thorough research is needed to confirm their effects even more precisely.

It is important to note that the methods of alternative medicine are also carried out under the supervision of a doctor.
