Ever heard of the phrase, “Work is god”, it is very appropriately said by a prudent person. Some people “Work to Live” whereas there are others who “Live to Work”, for them work is top most priority and everything else comes after it. However, in the current scenario, where globalization has taken place in most of the industries, work pressure has increased due to tuff competition. Employees have to improve in terms of quality of their work and have to meet difficult deadlines in order to remain in the competition.

As a result most employees of the corporate world lead a highly stressful life which, however, may cause some health problems which are inevitable considering the amount of stress and pressure involved, not only in office but in home as well. When a person thinks of performing better rather then focusing on the task, he is liable to fail in that task no matter if he is indulging in a project work or sexual activity, for that matter. Studies have shown that ED or erectile dysfunction can be due to psychological causes like anxiety. In other words a person too anxious to perform better while having sexual intercourse may fail even to get a hard and erect penis.

Such an individual must practice relaxation techniques like meditation in order to calm his mind and eliminate all fears pertaining to sexual performance. For it, a relaxed, stress free and happy state of mind is necessary to combat afflictions such as ED. This was a remedy when the cause is psychological in nature however, one must go for drugs like Viagra when he is dealing with a physical cause of ED like nerve damage, diabetes or an artery blockage. Viagra is an FDA approved drug which enables an ED patient to get proper erection, just few hours after its consumption.

Viagra works by relaxing muscles in penile area thereby facilitating rock hard penis. Due to emergence of other drugs in the anti-impotence market the price of viagra have came down, which is good for lower middle class people who were unable to buy viagra in past due to its hefty price. Many cheap viagra pharmacies sell it at affordable prices in your vicinity. Apart from this, one can also buy viagra online and can change his sex life just at a click of a mouse button.


Smoking- a Prominent Cause of Impotence

Allen Watson asked:


I and my roomy Mark had been living together for years. Mark was my very close friend from the school days. We used to enjoy and party every weekend. Mark was addicted to smoking; he used to have at least 10-15 cigarettes a day.

Once, while we were having drinks, he told me that he was having problems in erection from the last one month. The news came as a shock to me, despite his several efforts mark couldn’t achieve an erection. I can see the embarrassment on Mark’s face while he kept on telling me about the problem.

We decided to consult a doctor; the doctor listened to Mark carefully and told him strictly to quit smoking. Then he sent Mark for a few diagnostic tests. On seeing the test reports, he told Mark that he was suffering from a very common problem in men called Erectile Dysfunction(ED). He explained that it was a condition in which men found it difficult to get and maintain an erection for satisfactory sexual intercourse He immediately prescribed Viagra, a drug needs to be taken 30 minutes prior to sexual activity for a satisfying erection.

The doctor further explained Mark how smoking leads to Impotence.

When a man is sexually aroused, his body temperature starts to rise. This allows the blood to get into every part of his body, especially to the penis. As the penis continues to gather more and more blood, he attains an erection. If the blood flow to the penis is lessened, this will make it hard for him to maintain his erection.

According to doctor’s smoking lessens the blood flow into a man’s penis by blocking key arteries. Not only does smoking lessen the blood flow, it also restricts it. This restriction of blood flow is caused by nicotine, a chemical found in cigarettes, and is said to be the reason why one gets addicted to it.

Once the brain becomes stimulated by the nicotine, blood flow to the penis becomes restricted and the valve mechanism that stores blood in the penis becomes impaired. The other effects of smoking in the penis includes reduced amount of ejaculation, lowered sperm count, abnormal sperm shape, and impaired sperm mobility.
