Sex best cure for impotence

THE BEST cure for impotence is sex.

It's true, the male organ, like any contraption, falters from less use--or non-use.

This is just among the interesting and rather hard facts we've gathered from urologists as erectile dysfunction--the politically correct and clinical term for impotence--suddenly becomes good lunch topic, and Viagra the juiciest buzz.

Or, hear this. Concerned about the six deaths allegedly from Viagra? How could a man die from it? One possible reason is, the man must have had no sex for years, then suddenly with Viagra, vroom!

The abrupt resumption of this strenuous activity, in an extreme situation, could have taxed an already ailing heart used to a sedentary lifestyle.

While the above scenarios reveal ``cures'' for impotence that may seem odd to people in general, they remain speculative, in the absence of a thorough medical investigation of each case of erectile dysfunction (ED).

For it must be noted that an ED case is a medical condition that must be handled by a medical specialist, usually and ideally by the urologist, and its diagnosis and cure must be related to other medical ailments the ED patient could be suffering from.

An ED condition doesn't exist in a vacuum; it is caused by other diseases or ailments.

Therefore, the approach to it by urologists is always integrated, from the physiological to the psychological.

To go back to sex being the best cure, urologist Benjamin Mendoza who, with 18 other urologists, worked on the Viagra clinical trial for the Philippines, explained:

``Studies say possibilities (of impotence) can be reversed by increasing the oxygenation in the smooth muscles of the penis (so that erection can be achieved). Thus having sex or erection--during which oxygen or blood goes into the penis--is more often the cure for impotence. When the penis is not used, there's the scarring of the smooth muscles which then prevents its dilatation. So in effect, the less it is used, the more the penis falters.''

Conversely, the more a man uses it, the less chance for impotence--that is, if other risk factors for impotence, such as diabetes or alcohol abuse, are not there--or, in the case of those already suffering from ED, the greater the chance of cure.

Contrary to the notion that the hype on Viagra and other anti-impotence remedies must have created, the cure for impotence is no one-bang affair.

Good health

``Primarily, the man must be in a state of good sexual health,'' said Dr. Mendoza, whose ED patients range in age from 24 to 83.

This means one must be fit, with the right exercise, right food, right lifestyle. ``This means less cholesterol, less fat, for cholesterol can block the blood going to the penis,'' he said.

Leading the anti-impotence foods are vegetables. Dr. Mendoza cited okra, even malunggay or sili.

``One must also have the right mind--meaning when we try to cure a patient, we count out marital problems, stress or depression,'' he said.

Apart from his physical health, an ED patient who sees a urologist is drawn his psychological profile, and subjected to laboratory studies (e.g., urinalysis, blood, sugar count).

The urologist first attends to the patient's underlying diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension or heart ailment--in tandem, of course, with other specialists. A patient's erectile dysfunction is cured alongside his other ailments.

From this, it is not hard to see why the abuse of anti-impotence medications, such as Viagra, could lead to serious or even fatal results. Viagra, for instance, cannot be taken when one has a serious heart ailment or is on nitrate.

If a man must take Viagra, it must be only with medical supervision, especially if he has ailments other than impotence.

Goal-oriented

Now, after going through the above steps and still the patient remains impotent, the urologist resorts to what Dr. Mendoza euphemistically called the ``goal-oriented approach'' to treatment.

Simply put, this means the goal is to get it up for the sex act. This is when the urologist prescribes a therapy, or the various means available to achieve erection.

Available to Filipino men now are various aids, namely: the injectible, where one injects this muscle dilator into the penis in mid-shaft and the erection occurs within 5-15 minutes and can be sustained for about 45 minutes; the pump, where air created in a cylinder sucks the penis erect; the Medicated Urethral Suppository for Erection (MUSE), where pellets, with the use of syringe, are shot into the penis tip, then they melt and get absorbed in about five minutes.

Curiously, there are ED patients who agree to these therapies, no matter how contrived, inconvenient or painful they seem. When told that the mere sight of such contraptions is enough to snuff romance out of both the man and his partner, Mendoza said, rather detachedly, ``On the contrary, I generally suggest that it's the man's partner who should administer these. For sex is supposed to be a mutual act. Let's remember that for every man with ED, there's a woman suffering from anxieties.''

How can one argue against that, especially when Dr. Mendoza pointed out that often, it's the women who come to him and his colleagues to help find a cure for their partner's ED.

Now comes Viagra, the first oral anti-impotence pill which undoubtedly seems so convenient when put alongside the existing contraptions on the market.

Growing concern

However, the emergence of Viagra goes beyond the convenience or novelty of it. A bigger issue here is that, worldwide, not only is there a greater awareness of ED as a growing health concern. More important also, the understanding of ED is changing.

Before, ED was automatically classified as a solely psychological problem. ``Before, I'd readily refer to a psychiatrist an ED patient. But after the injectibles and other similar therapies came, we started to understand ED as an organic problem--related to a disease or physiology,'' explained Dr. Mendoza.

Even the approach and understanding of the cure for ED are evolving with the new millennium.

In other words, if you have ED, you are not necessarily a nut, although you could be going nuts. (Tomorrow: Testimonials from Filipino men on Viagra)

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
