Men are most afraid to mention impotence, but if they don't pay attention to some small issues in life, they may unconsciously put you in the queue of impotence. Especially in life, sometimes seemingly ordinary drugs can affect your sexual ability. Now let's take a look at those drugs that can make you impotent if you're not careful.
Cardiovascular drugs, antihypertensive drugs, have been reported to cause ED (erectile dysfunction) most frequently. It is generally believed that among antihypertensive drugs, the main causes of ED are diuretics and β- Receptor blockers. In addition, anti arrhythmia drugs such as amiodarone and anti heart failure drugs such as digoxin may also cause ED.
Gastrointestinal drugs cimetidine, ranitidine, and Nizatidine are widely used in the gastrointestinal tract, mainly for the treatment of peptic ulcers. An increasing number of case reports indicate that they can cause sexual dysfunction. For example, men who take cimetidine for a long time may experience ED and loss of libido.
Anti depressant depression is known as the "mental cold", which is not uncommon in modern society. Among the commonly used antidepressants, imipramine, amitriptyline, clomipramine, and novel selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors can all cause erectile dysfunction, ejaculation abnormalities, and lack of sexual desire.
The most common psychoactive and narcotic drugs are alcohol, nicotine, cocaine, heroin, marijuana, and so on. People often question the impact of alcohol on erectile function: "Isn't it easier to get sexually excited after drinking?" Here we ignore the difference between libido and erectile dysfunction. Alcohol can increase libido, but it can affect erectile function and reduce the rigidity of an erection.
Anti tumor drugs can destroy cancer cells while causing damage to normal tissues, including the gastrointestinal tract, liver, and kidneys. However, the damage of anti tumor drugs to the gonads is easily overlooked. Drugs such as cyclophosphamide, nitrogen mustard, vincristine, and cytarabine can all cause erectile dysfunction or sperm loss in men.
After the above introduction, I hope everyone can treat the issue of taking medication with caution. At the same time, learn more about the common sense of gender health care. This way, you can understand which drugs are the factors that may cause your sexual dysfunction. And no matter what medication you take, you need to take it correctly with the advice and guidance of a doctor to minimize side effects.
