Serious approach to your impotence

Posted on 8:43 PM by Anonymous

We have already discussed in one of the previous articles which procedures you may go through before you will be advised to purchase Viagra online or elsewhere. It’s very important for every man who experiences any problems with obtaining an erection to know what he is likely to go through. You probably already know that before you order Viagra online a medical examination is required – even if you are absolutely sure you have erectile dysfunction. The reason is very simple – in some cases once the problem is established it can be either treated with the help of drugs, or, which is even better, if the problem is timely dealt with your impotence may become history.

So, what exactly are all these tests and examinations for and how can they help your doctor to find out what kind of treatment you need? Firstly, there are blood tests and urine analysis – with the help of these tests you the levels of your blood sugar and cholesterol can be measured, as well as hormone levels, function of your kidney and liver etc. Some of these factors can negatively affect your libido – for example, the excess of prolactin (a peptide hormone) is known to lower the levels of testosterone.

Arteriosclerosis (can be diagnosed if you have a certain level of blood lipids – triglycerides and cholesterol) can cause reduced blood flow to the tissues of the penis, as a result of which you may not be able to get an erection. The following health conditions can be also diagnosed when you are having your blood tests done – liver and kidney disease, thyroid hormone deficiency, kidney dysfunction, deficiency of testosterone and diabetes mellitus.

Besides these lab tests there are tests aimed at actually assessing the way your penis functions to make sure everything is okay. Duplex ultrasound, for instance, involves injecting prostaglandin – a hormone-like stimulator – and then measuring the dilation of blood vessels and blood pressure inside the penis. The same measurements are done when the penis is flaccid and the data is then compared. Digital rectal examination can detect an enlarged prostate. This condition can seriously interfere with the blood flow and affect the nerve impulses in the penis responsible for an erection.

Bulbocavernosus reflex test is aimed at establishing whether the sensitiveness of the penis is sufficient. The doctor squeezes the head of the penis causing the contraction of the anus, which indicates your nerve function is normal. This can be done of you ever had diabetes or nerve disease that may have affected the nerves. Nocturnal penile tumescence is another method that involves watching the patients in sleep. It’s considered normal when a man has 5-6 erections during sleep – so when this does not occur, it may also indicate a problem with blood supply.

There are many other procedures you may be required to go through – but these are the most popular ones. So, when you decide to go to your doctor and ask him for a prescription to order Viagra online you will be ready for even the most incredible medical terms you may hear.
