As we move forward in the journey of our lives, we’re affected by a lot of factors that bring about a substantial change in our lives in one way or another. The greying of your hair doesn’t only bring wisdom but also the problems of older age. Here we are going to discuss the issues associated with the neurological disorder. To understand the root cause and the solution, let’s try to understand each bit of the issue.

Neurological Disorder: Any disorder in the nervous system causes neurological disorders. Broadly these abnormalities can affect your brain, spinal cord, and the other nerve endings. The causes behind this can be varied - the disorders are generally a result of congenital abnormalities, disrupted lifestyle or external factors. The causes are different, but the outcome is similar, it all leads to neural depletion and a disruptive functioning of the neural system.

Potency: Potency can be broadly associated with non-satisfactory sex life. While it covers major dimensions such as erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, non-erection, etc. but the primary issue behind them is almost the same. A penis consists of several nerve endings, on arousal, there’s a heavy flow of blood in them which causes the erection. When these nerve endings are affected, the process mentioned above does not takes place, which causes potency in men.

The relation between the two:

Generally, any spinal cord injury or lesion affects the erection and causes potential potency in men. The sacral centre of erection is disrupted, which hinders the response of the nerve endings leading to no erection or feeble erection. The issue can be developed in men because of pelvic fracture or due to the rupture of the posterior urethra; the problem may also come in active play after any volumetric surgery on the pelvic organs. Any lesion in the pelvic area can be a potential threat to the sensitivity of nerves and can result in the loss of an explicit sexual reflex. The damage in the neurological system can also result in spinal cord injuries, multiple sclerosis, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

The Possible Solution:

The right way to deal with the associated issue is to consult a neurologist with your problems. Apart from the medication, you can also try several neural exercises which tend to enhance the reflexivity and response system. Slipping into a healthy diet is also a great option, the food regime, which helps in regulating the issue are whole wheat consumables, fish, avocados, berries, peanuts, coffee, etc.
