What age does impotence occur?

Answer 1

Erectile Dysfunction is a big title for a simple and common problem. If a male cannot achieve an erection, or cannot maintain an erection; that would be Erectile Dysfunction (also known as ED). For some men ED is constant and chronic for others it is occasional or inconvenient. ED is considered a common condition of aging and would be more common after age 40.

Evidently A common problem for all of human history, some of the earliest folk remedies, potions and incantations known to man are ED cures created by the Babylonians & Chinese. ED has been addressed by ancient herbal medicine as far back as records exist, they just didn't have the advertising budget of Pfizer or Merck!

A class of prescription meds called Vasil stimulators allow the blood to flow to the penis more freely and can offer considerable help to men who are healthy enough for sex and not physically incapable for sex. Prescription meds commonly prescribed include Viagra, Levitra & Cialis. One notable distinction with all prescription ED meds is that they only claim to improve erections. ED medications make no claim at improving the emotional, erotic or romantic desire or the low sexual drive sometimes associated with and causal to the ED.

The causes can be many and can range from age to Infections, psychological hang ups to high cholesterol. One of the most common causes is side effects from very common medications. Cholesterol meds, High blood pressure meds, alcohol, antidepressants, antianxiety and others can all cause males problems achieving and maintaining an erection. ED can be an early indicator of more serious conditions and men should consult a Dr or a specialist to be sure the cause.

As men age, their body slows the production of a primary male sexual health hormone called Testosterone and a secondary sex hormone called Estrogen. After 35 years most men produce 4-5% less each year and very early in their 40s the frequency of erections, quality and duration of erections and their drive or desire for sex naturally fall with the waning Testosterone production.

Creams and patches, even injections and pellet inserts are available to men to supplement the falling Testosterone production, and may be some help. Unlike other ED meds; Hormone therapy can help with desire as well as ED. The Testosterone works on the male body as it did naturally at puberty to create not only sexual development but also desire and drive.

Natural Hormone therapy (pellets) is cost comparable to prescription meds and also available to men who experience intermittent or weak erections or just as an age related symptom. There is a nearly direct correlation between men with high testosterone blood serum levels and successful and fulfilling erectile functions well into old age. Men at any age with low Testosterone often experience ED problems and lowered desire; men with high Testosterone levels seldom have issues with ED and express a higher level and frequency, enjoyment, satisfaction and desire.
