Subsequently, Hippocrates described the male impotence in rich patients of the city and he concluded that the cause was the excess to mount to horse. To the poor not l is affected, therefore they travelled on foot. Aristotle said that the nerves of the penis carried spirit and energy for the erection, and that this due to insuflación of air. Their theory well was accepted until in 1505, Leonardo gives Vinci noted a large quantity of blood in the erect penis of a man hung.

These they supply a good flow vascular necessary to obtain tumescencia or hardening of the male genital organ. Besides the previous thing, the veins of the penis should be closed completely pair to prevent the exit of the blood carried by the arteries before named.
If there is some problem with the valves of the veins, escapes the blood and is lost, or does not achieve the erection. Of equal form, if there is some damage in the nerves that supply al penis, can be affected the mechanism that carries the hardening of the same one.
