Impotence (or erectile dysfunction [ED]) is defined as the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual activity. It is estimated 10% of men worldwide suffer from ED and this figure increases dramatically with age-affecting over half of men over 65 years old
Physical causes of ED include diabetes, high cholesterol, heart disease, hypertension, as well as prostate surgery, liver disease and obesity.
Other risk factors of ED include smoking, stress, fatigue and excessive alcohol or drug consumption.
Dr. Zhao’s acupuncture and Yin-Yang balance capsules therapy can help those with ED by stimulating blood flow to the penile area and also improving the libido. Most patients experience benefit in 6 to 12 sessions.
