Organic and Psychogenic Kinds of Impotence
TweetI have some materials on this theme to share with you seeing that my readers want to know the difference between organic and psychogenic kinds of impotence. To be honest I don't possess the superiority of knowledge on this issue but I can tell the difference. You already know the difference between erectile dysfunction and impotence. Medics recognize two different sorts of impotence - organic and psychogenic impotence. Of course I can say that they recognize two different sorts of erectile dysfunctions but there are established terms - organic impotence and psychogenic impotence. I'll use them.
Organic impotence
Medics mean organic impotence when there is an inability to obtain an erection strong enough for penetration, or when a man can't sustain the erection until the end of sex acts. In this case the
sick man's condition changes gradually for the worse. It means that his state will become worse tomorrow, then even much worse the day after tomorrow and so on. The disease won't clear up of its own.
In this case even the nighttime erection disappears.
Organic impotence is causes by some physical problems (so-called organic problems) such as spinal cord trauma, neurosis, neurasthenia and other nervous system disturbances. It means that organic impotence usually points to important medical problems in the body. That's why this kind of erectile dysfunction needs special care and long-term treatment.
Psychogenic impotence
In contrast to organic impotence, psychogenic impotence occurs suddenly and subsides in few days. This kind of impotence is usually caused by an unpleasant incident, guilt, anxiety, depression,
divorce, problems at work or family conflicts. In this case relationships with people are main trigger that causes psychogenic erectile dysfunction. Another reason that may cause impotence is chronic
fatigue syndrome that is widespread nowadays. But it this case a man doesn't lose his nighttime erection.
So before choosing a type of treatment you (it's better - your doctor) should determine whether your symptoms of erectile dysfunction are connected with organic or psychogenic causes. Once the reason is revealed, the treatment is more effective and painless. As for me I am sure now that my sexual potency problems refer to the second type of impotence. It doesn't mean that the disease can be treated for easier in this case! In both cases you shouldn't neglect your disease and should start the treatment in good time.
