The so-called "three poisons" of drugs can treat diseases in the body, while also producing adverse factors for other functions of the body. Many drugs have an impact on the lives of couples. Below is an introduction to some drugs that can reduce the quality of life for couples.
Antihypertensive drugs make men impotent
Anti hypertensive drugs are most closely related to sexual function. If the daily dosage of acetaminophen is above 25mg, most male patients will experience impotence, delayed ejaculation, or inability to ejaculate; Female patients have insufficient vaginal lubrication and decreased libido. Newlyweds or husbands who are planning to conceive their wives should not choose this drug. Although the daily dose of methyldopa is less than 1 g, some male patients still experience decreased libido or impotence; Female patients can also have amenorrhea, galactorrhea, decreased sexual arousal, and loss of orgasm. Even if the dose of reserpine is small, it can also reduce libido, cause impotence, or inability to ejaculate in most male patients, and even induce depression, making primary sexual dysfunction and low libido more severe. There are also clonidine (clonidine), hydrabendazine (hydrazine phthalazine, hydralazine), and meglumine that can affect the arrival of orgasm.
Digoxin, diuretics, and sedatives reduce male sexual function
Anti heart failure drugs are used during heart attacks. Digitalis, digoxin, and cardiotonic drugs used in congestive heart failure can cause sexual dysfunction or impotence in men. When the daily dosage of propranolol, which is used to treat cardiac rhythm disorders, increases to 40-320mg, it is extremely prone to decreased libido and impotence.
Spironolactone has an anti androgenic effect, and if used for a long time, it can cause male sexual dysfunction or impotence; Women can experience irregular menstruation, amenorrhea, or even stop ovulation.
Sedatives such as tranquilizers and tranquilizers, if used for a long time, can reduce libido and cause impotence. After long-term use of hypnotic drugs such as Lumina, Amritol, and Sukemian, male patients may experience decreased libido, impotence, or loss of orgasm.
Hormone drugs cause rapid loss of libido
When estradiol and ethinylestradiol are used in male prostate cancer, they can rapidly reduce or disappear sexual desire, and lead to impotence and impaired ejaculatory function. Chlorogesterone can cause decreased libido, impotence, or decreased orgasm in men. If long-term and massive use of methyltestosterone, testosterone propionate, etc., can cause testicular atrophy, decreased sperm and semen, and affect sexual desire. Prednisone (prednisone) can affect sperm production at a daily dose of 30 mg. Hydroprednisone can cause semen deficiency. Thyroid powder can stop a woman from ovulating.
Long term use of aphrodisiacs reduces sexual ability
The so-called aphrodisiac is a type of traditional Chinese medicine that has the functions of warming and tonifying kidney yang, tonifying essence, strengthening muscles and bones, and promoting excitability, such as ginseng, deer antler, hippocampus, cinnamon, aconite, cistanche, epimedium, fructus cnidii, actinolite, seal kidney, and various animal whips. If patients with kidney yang deficiency can reasonably use aphrodisiacs, they can indeed treat symptoms such as impotence, premature ejaculation, ejaculation, and decreased libido. If misused or abused, it can make impotence even more serious, and even cause irreversible sexual dysfunction.
In the absence of a clear "sexual hormone deficiency" in patients with impotence, abuse of Chinese and Western drugs containing sexual hormones can increase the concentration of sexual hormones in the blood circulation. In addition, due to the "negative feedback" effect, the secretion of gonadotropins in the human body significantly decreases or stops, resulting in decreased or even atrophic gonadal function, decreased or disappeared libido, and irreversible sexual dysfunction.
According to medical research, patients with kidney deficiency do not have a significant decrease in gonadal endocrine function, so they do not need to take aphrodisiac drugs. In patients with kidney yang deficiency, there are indeed some pathological changes in the gonads governed by the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. Therefore, it is necessary to ask a doctor to treat them based on syndrome differentiation and formulate a tonic plan to cure the disease and relieve pain.
