Erectile Dysfunction and Homoeopathy:
- Erectile Dysfunction, or impotency as it is commonly known,
refers to a man’s inability to obtain or maintain erection of the penis during
sexual activity.
- A penile erection is the hydraulic effect of blood entering
and being retained in sponge-like bodies within the penis.
- The process is most often initiated as a result of sexual
arousal, when signals are transmitted from the brain to nerves in the penis.
- The most important organic causes of impotence are
cardiovascular disease and diabetes, neurological problems (for example, trauma
from prostatectomy surgery), hormonal insufficiencies (hypogonadism) and drug
side effects.
- Obesity, heart disease, smoking, tobacco use, alcohol
consumption, diabetes, psychological factors like stress, anxiety and negative
feelings, the use of anti-depressants — all these usually contribute a lot to
Erectile Dysfunction.
Causes of Erectile Dysfunction:
- In majority of cases
psychological reasons are implicated behind erectile dysfunction.
- Vascular disease involving internal pudendal artery is
thought to be one of the reasons for age related impotency.
- A nerve injury or spinal cord injury may result in
impotence.
Impotence may be an early symptom of diabetes mellitus,
multiple sclerosis, tabes dorsalis etc.
- Medications (antidepressants, such as SSRIs, and
nicotine[citation needed] are most common)
- Cavernosal disorders (Peyronie's disease)
- Psychological causes: performance anxiety, stress, and
mental disorders
- Surgery
- Aging. It is four times more common in men aged in their 60s
than those in their 40s.
- Kidney failure
- Diseases such as diabetes mellitus and multiple sclerosis
(MS). While these two causes have not been proven they are likely suspects as
they cause issues with both the blood flow and nervous systems.
- Lifestyle: smoking is a key cause of erectile dysfunction.
Smoking causes impotence because it promotes arterial narrowing.
Symptoms of Erectile Dysfunction:
- Inability to get an erection is usually the only complaint.
In cases of penile dysfunction, premature ejaculation and
spermatorrhoea may be found.
- Depression often accompanies impotence. Severe depression
can lead to impotence and impotence can lead to depression.
- It works both ways.
Diagnosis:
- There are no formal tests to diagnose erectile dysfunction.
Some blood tests are generally done to exclude underlying disease, such as
hypogonadism and prolactinoma.
- Impotence is also related to generally poor
physical health, poor dietary habits, obesity, and most specifically
cardiovascular disease such as coronary artery disease and peripheral vascular
disease.
- Therefore, a thorough physical examination is helpful, in particular
the simple search for a previously undetected groin hernia since it can affect
sexual functions in men and is easily curable.
Duplex ultrasound
- Duplex ultrasound is used to evaluate blood flow, venous
leak, signs of atherosclerosis, and scarring or calcification of erectile
tissue.
- Injecting prostaglandin, a hormone-like stimulator produced in the
body, induces the erection. Ultrasound is then used to see vascular dilation
and measure penile blood pressure.
Penile nerves function
- Tests such as the bulbocavernosus reflex test are used to
determine if there is sufficient nerve sensation in the penis.
- The physician
squeezes the glans (head) of the penis, which immediately causes the anus to
contract if nerve function is normal.
- A physician measures the latency between
squeeze and contraction by observing the anal sphincter or by feeling it with a
gloved finger inserted past the anus.
Nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT)
- It is normal for a man to have five to six erections during
sleep, especially during rapid eye movement (REM). Their absence may indicate a
problem with nerve function or blood supply in the penis.
- There are two methods
for measuring changes in penile rigidity and circumference during nocturnal
erection: snap gauge and strain gauge.
- A significant proportion of men who have
no sexual dysfunction nonetheless do not have regular nocturnal erections.
Penile biothesiometry
- This test uses electromagnetic vibration to evaluate
sensitivity and nerve function in the glans and shaft of the penis.
Dynamic infusion cavernosometry (DICC)
- Technique in which fluid is pumped into the penis at a known
rate and pressure. It gives a measurement of the vascular pressure in the
corpus cavernosum during an erection.
Corpus cavernosometry
- Cavernosography measurement of the vascular pressure in the corpus
cavernosum.
- Saline is infused under pressure into the corpus cavernosum with a
butterfly needle, and the flow rate needed to maintain an erection indicates
the degree of venous leakage.
- The leaking veins responsible may be visualized
by infusing a mixture of saline and x-ray contrast medium and performing a
cavernosogram.
- In Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA), the images are
acquired digitally.
Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA)
- This is similar to magnetic resonance imaging. Magnetic
resonance angiography uses magnetic fields and radio waves to provide detailed
images of the blood vessels. Doctors may inject a "contrast agent"
into the patient's bloodstream that causes vascular tissues to stand out
against other tissues.
- The contrast agent provides for enhanced information
regarding blood supply and vascular anomalies.
