Impotence

What you need to know:

Until recently, most male impotence was regarded as a psycho-sexual problem, but happily it has now been recognised that in a large majority of cases there are underlying medical causes - particularly diabetes, circulatory diseases and the side effects of commonly prescribed drugs, especially some of those used for high blood pressure.

Of course, stress and anxiety may also be involved - and may, in some instances, be the entire cause. Every man experiences the occasional failure, which can be embarrassing and distressing - but fatigue, redundancy, money worries, family problems, lack of privacy can all play their part.

But as long as any underlying causes have been properly investigated, there are some natural remedies and complementary therapies which might help.

Other useful advice:

It’s important to avoid caffeine and to be careful with alcohol - two pub measures of spirits, two glasses of wine or a pint of beer a day can improve the circulation, which increases potency, but any more can have the opposite effect.

It’s also worth considering hypnosis, psycho-sexual counselling.
