7 diseases may cause impotence
1. Hair growth drugs for male alopecia or drugs for prostate hypertrophy
According to the international "Journal of Sexual Medicine", they may not only inhibit erectile function, but also inhibit sexual desire. The reason may be that they reduce the level of male sex hormone dihydrotestosterone in the blood circulation that helps men maintain sexual drive. Although these drugs can contribute to hair loss and prostate hypertrophy, their side effects include affecting erectile function.
2. Gingival disease?
Why do gums and penis have something in common?
Chronic infection of periodontitis and infected gingiva may increase the risk of ED. The results of mouse animal experiments show the association between ED and gingiva, but the relationship between human periodontitis and ED and its mechanism of action are not clear. Gingival disease is a manifestation of poor overall health. It is also related to the increase in the risk of heart disease, which is another risk factor for ED. Gingivitis means that there is a potential problem with blood supply to the gums, so it also indicates that there is a problem with blood supply to other parts of the body.
3. The wife is too close to her husband's brother
It is well known that psychological factors have a very important impact on sexual function. According to the latest research results of the American Journal of Sociology on more than 3000 men aged between 57 and 85, if the wife and her husband's brother are too close, and the time spent together has exceeded the time spent by the husband and wife, the risk of erectile difficulty is 92% higher than that of the man whose wife is obedient. Of course, this phenomenon is common among middle-aged and young people, because their perception of masculinity is quite sensitive. After the age of 70, the concept of masculinity of older men has been blunted and no longer sensitive, so they will not be confused for this reason.
4. Cycling
As early as the 9th century BC, the Siseyans of Iran discovered the relationship between horseback riding and ED. A survey published in the International Journal of Medicine in 2005 showed that modern people's long-distance cycling can also increase the risk of ED. 4% of men who ride at least three hours a week have moderate or severe ED, while only 1% of runners of the same age have ED. It may be because sitting on a narrow seat for a long time has compressed the nerves and blood vessels leading to the penis, causing it to be damaged to a certain extent, and finally affecting the blood supply of the penis.
5. diabetes
The possibility of diabetes patients with ED increases 2-3 times, and the nerves and blood vessels innervating the penis may be damaged if the blood sugar is not well controlled.
6. Hypertension
Uncontrolled hypertension can damage blood vessels and cause arteriosclerosis, thus affecting the rapid blood supply when needed. But some antihypertensive drugs such as β Receptor blockers and diuretics also increase the risk of ED. The correct approach is to take antihypertensive drugs consistently, and make appropriate changes in lifestyle, such as maintaining healthy eating habits and increasing physical exercise, which will help to lower blood pressure.
7. Depression
The Cleveland Clinic Foundation survey shows that 61% of patients with major depression will experience sexual problems, which not only affects sexual desire. The changes of a series of biochemical factors caused by depression may affect the blood supply of the penis and lead to the inability to obtain and maintain an erection by blocking the communication between brain cells. The occurrence of sexual problems affects patients' mood and sexual enjoyment, which in turn can aggravate depression.
