Another survey that is being discussed at the World Urology Congress in the South African city of Cape Town is the one that was headed by a senior researcher at the St James's University Hospital in Leeds in the UK.  In this survey it was noted that men who suffered from erectile dysfunction had a much gretae chance of seeking medical help for the problem if they knew that it was upsetting the confidence and sexual enjoyment of their partners.

The survey also noted that if women took the initiative and were of the opinion that an impotence drug could help their men were extremely likely to agree to use it. The researchers asked questions of over 300 females from the ages of 20 to over 75 in America Europe and Brazil. Of these women 39% said that their partners erectile dysfunction problem was moderate but 32% said that their men suffered from severe erectile dysfunction.

Interestingly over 60% thought that the impotence problem of their men would not go away and would be permanent.  The women who were unlikely to go and get help from a doctor for their husbands and partners were the women who believed that his impotence might disappear if he had sex with another woman. The same was true for women who believed that the impotence was caused by stress or psychological reasons. Some of these misinformed women thought that taking a drug could be very dangerous.

Overall the survey showed that the attitude of a woman to an erectile dysfunction problem was almost as important as the attitude of the man and a positive outlook to the problem from a woman was sometimes the catalyst that helped men to go forward and see a doctor and get some impotence medication. Ukmedix has seen this in other surveys and we urge a man who has an impotence problem to discuss it openly with his partner and to clear the air as bottling it up inside you can only aggravate the problem.
