Causes, Symptoms And Ayurvedic Cure For Impotence

Erectile dysfunction or impotence is a very common and an embarrassing condition faced by millions of men worldwide. In this article we are going to discuss about the causes of impotence and some ayurvedic treatments which can help men who have impotence achieve strong and hard erections.

As we are aware penis is spongy in nature and is made of two chambers namely tunica albuginea which is a membrane surrounding it and other spongy tissues like arteries, veins and fibrous tissues. Urethra is where from urine and semen pass through.

How Do Erections happen

The erections take place due to sensory stimulation, the nerves receive signals from brain and help in contraction and relaxation of muscles as well as control flow of blood into the vacant spaces in the spongy tissues. This process helps the penis expand and achieve an erection. While tunica albuginea helps in trapping the blood to help in longer lasting erections.

When a dis-balance occurs in this process it causes erectile dysfunction or impotence and a man is unable to penetrate into the vagina causing an inability to sire a child.

Causes of Impotence

There are many conditions which can lead to erectile dysfunction but it is mainly caused due to low levels of testosterone in the body. In ayurveda it is mentioned that impotence can be caused due to physical trauma or an injury in the penile area.
