What is the Difference between Impotence and Erectile Dysfunction?

Impotence and erectile dysfunction are interchangeable terms that refer to a man’s inability to get or maintain an erection long enough for satisfying sexual activity. Whatever you call it, it’s an extreme situation that can take the fun out of a relationship. Its effects can range from depression to infertility.

But the good thing is, it’s usually treatable if you consult with a doctor.

What Is Impotence or Erectile Dysfunction?

As stated above, impotence refers to a person’s inability to obtain a strong enough erection to engage in sexual activity. But we want to make several points clear:

  • It is common for a man to have difficulty getting an erection.
  • Erectile dysfunction is not limited to sexual activity. It can also occur during oral intercourse or at the same time as masturbation.
  • Impotence may be linked to reduced sexual desire.
  • Being impotent is not as uncommon as you might think. So don’t think you’re one of the few who suffer from it.

Treating Erectile Dysfunction 

The treatment recommended by your doctor is the best option for you. You must address the underlying cause of your erectile dysfunction. Your doctor may prescribe a different treatment for over-the-counter medications, like Cenforce 50 or Kamagra. The following are the most common erectile dysfunction treatments available today.

Changes in Lifestyle

Making lifestyle changes is the first thing to try, and it is likely what your doctor would recommend first. You should quit smoking if you are a smoker. The same goes for alcohol. Try weight loss programs to improve blood flow throughout your body if you are close to or have overcome obesity.

Counseling

If the issue is psychological, you should consult with a therapist to determine the root cause. It can sometimes be beneficial to bring your partner along to solve the problems that are causing your impotence. It also allows you to collaborate on better sex life.

Medication for ED

PDE-5 inhibitors are commonly used to treat impotence. The most well-known is Cenforce, but there are other options like Fildena 50, Kamagra 100, and Suhagra.
