Can I have children if I have impotence?

Many men in life are troubled by the decline of physiological functions. Among them, impotence is the most important manifestation. This disease causes the male genitals to be unable to erect, and thus cannot realize the couple's life, resulting in the other party not getting physiological satisfaction, and the final result is the breakdown of the relationship between the couple. And there are many other harms of impotence. For example, can you have children if you have impotence?

Impotence refers to the inability of the penis to erect, and therefore the inability to complete sexual intercourse. Of course, it is difficult for the woman to get pregnant, but impotence cannot be regarded as infertility. There are many reasons for male infertility, mainly referring to the lack of sufficient quantity and quality of sperm in the semen, which leads to the inability to fertilize the egg. For people with impotence, the semen and sperm can be normal, but they cannot achieve the purpose of fertilizing the egg because they cannot complete sexual intercourse. However, impotence can be cured, and as long as it is treated in time, you can have your own children.

Treatment of ED patients with cardiovascular risk factors

Although ED is not life-threatening, it can significantly affect the quality of life. Moreover, a considerable number of ED patients have comorbid cardiovascular diseases. Since sexual activity is an exciting physical activity, some patients with cardiovascular diseases may not be suitable for it. Therefore, when treating ED, patients with cardiovascular diseases should have a detailed and careful assessment of the patient's overall cardiovascular function by a cardiovascular specialist before deciding whether ED-related treatment should be given to the patient.
