Impotence Symptoms

There are not many symptoms of impotence; in fact there is just one primary symptom, the inability to achieve an erection and sustain it long enough to perform satisfactory sexual intercourse. Men who recognise this as a recurrent symptom, and experience it on at least a semi- regular basis, are more than likely suffering from symptoms.

There are several different ways impotence symptom can become apparent, which are;

• You may experience only the occasional inability to get an erection or sustain it for sexual intercourse with a partner, while you may be able to get erections when you masturbate, or naturally when you wake up in the morning.
• You might find that your symptoms develop almost overnight. Abrupt development of erectile dysfunction usually suggests a psychological cause, such as anxiety, stress or depression.
• You may find that your inability to get an erection is something that develops slowly and steadily over time. You will notice it becoming more and more of a problem. If this should occur, your symptoms are probably more likely to be diagnosed as being due to physical reasons.

Additionally, other symptoms of impotence include problems with emission, ejaculation or orgasm. These symptoms are usually related to other conditions, but they may play a role in erectile dysfunction.

It’s important that a doctor should diagnose your condition instead of you doing a self diagnosis, especially before you try to find treatment. This will help you to get an idea of exactly what is causing your condition, which is essential for finding the best possible treatment.

Impotence has also, in a small number of cases, been shown to be an early signifier of other more serious health problems. Having these conditions detected early, could considerably benefit your long term health.
