Erectile disorders affect between 15 and 30 million men in the US alone, but nearly every man suffers from this condition at some point in his life. In the past, impotence was generally attributed to psychological factors. However, recent research indicates that as many as 75 percent of all erectile disorder cases result from medical problems, usually related to the vascular (blood supply) system in the penis.

There are also quite a large number of very common prescription drugs that cause impotence in various degrees. The list of drugs that cause impotence include: blood pressure drugs, antihistamines, antidepressants, tranquilizers, appetite suppressants, cimetidine (an ulcer drug) etc. Vascular problems that cause impotence are usually related to high cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, and the use of recreational drugs, heavy alcohol consumption, surgery or medication.

It is important to get impotence help and assistance as soon as possible. Cures for erectile disorders are easy to find these days, provided you have a correct diagnose of the underlying causes of your impotence. The best cure for impotence is anything natural that cannot further damage the body. But be aware, not all cures are equal and some of those labeled herbal or natural are ineffective!

Alternative impotence treatments and natural supplements, whether branded herbal medications or ancient secret formulas, often boast of their ability to enhance sexual stimulation, improve sexual performance and increase fertility. However, you should keep in mind the fact that there's been very little scientific evidence that these claims are legitimate.

Other natural medications boast of the power of various herbs to cure impotence. It sounds great in theory, but there is no miracle cure for impotence and as far as the scientists are able to tell so far, there is not going to one in the near future. As with anything that you eat and drink, herbal and/or mineral remedies do not affect everybody in the same manner.

Their action depends very much on your particular situation: age, overall health, whether or not you are taking other medication, physical activity level, stress levels etc. Natural remedies for male impotence also include penis exercises. This may seem odd at first, especially if your inbox is flooded with gazillions of unwanted emails about exercises and devices that will increase your penis size.

But the truth is penis exercises can greatly improve your sex life. Even if you don't need a bigger, thicker penis, you can concentrate on other important aspects, like gaining more control over your erection, being able to control the ejaculation etc. Not to mention that the more you know your body, the better lover you will become.

The only trick is to find a good program that can offer not only tutorials on how to exercise, but also help and support to build a routine adequate to your needs and goals.
