It culminates in a condition where the man loses sexual interest and fails to retain their erection for an extended period. The primary causal of Impotence in men is because of massive stress. The brain coordinates in releasing the sexual desire and urge. It means that once a patient is stressed out, their sexual capacity reduces thus termed as impotence (Irwin, 2019). Male erectile disorder is asserted in the absence of distress and other psychological stressors for the patient (Segraves, 2010). Before diagnosing Sexual Dysfunction, other issues from a nonsexual mental illness, among other stressors, should be first be addressed. Other factors to be considered for the diagnosis of male erectile dysfunction include the history of sexual/emotional abuse, communication problems, partner violence, cultural or religious factors (Edward, 2020). The disease is preventable, and doctors can minimize the damage suppose the patient agrees to speak about their condition. The first diagnostic step for the doctor is to listen to the patient and record all the signs and symptoms experienced. After an explanation, the doctor determines whether the condition is chronic and needs more than administering drugs as the treatment system. The primary used diagnosis procedure is the physical examination where the medical professional analyzes the genitals to discern any signs of pain or detect a sensation. Furthermore, the doctor might prescribe a blood examination to analyze the presence of impotence stimulators. Diagnostic criterial for Male Erectile Disorder.

Additionally, they are prescribed to a dosage that would help the patient obtain sexual sensation. They are advised on the negative and positive effects of taking the drugs and evaluated by their competency level to handle the side effects. According to Simopoulos (2012), the main drugs used for the pharmacologic treatment of male erectile dysfunction include Bromocriptine, Selegiline, Sildenafil, and Amantadine Cyproheptadine, and Cabergoline.
