Sexual Health
What are the common drugs that harm male sexual ability and cause erectile dysfunction
When men have the youngest and most vigorous sexual abilities, of course, there is no need to use medication to support them. However, with the passage of time, the glory disappears, and men want to restore their authority at that time, eager to achieve success, and indiscriminately administer medication, which has the opposite effect.
Why? Not all men are aware of relevant scientific knowledge about sex, and they lack the ability to actively seek and absorb sexual knowledge. Only when problems arise can they become confused, their sexual abilities accelerate to decline, and it is too late to regret.
As men age, it is inevitable that they will have some minor physical problems that require medication treatment. However, if some drugs are not scientific or do not have the necessary precautions, long-term use in large quantities may ultimately damage function and cause drug-induced impotence. Therefore, men should be aware of common traumatic drugs to avoid missing the cause of sexual problems and avoid serious dysfunction.
There are 6 common drugs that can cause impotence in clinical practice.
One is drugs that act on the cardiovascular system. For example, antihypertensive drugs such as guanidine ethane, reserpine, clonidine, methyldopa, and propranolol can strengthen the heart or regulate heart function, such as digoxin, digitalis, and cardiac glycosides, which can promote diuresis, furosemide, and diuretic acid. Long term use of this drug can improve the removal rate of testosterone in the liver, causing decreased libido, difficulty ejaculating, and erectile dysfunction.
The second is sedatives, anesthetics, and painkillers. For example, tranquil hypnotic drugs such as Limianning, methamphetamine anesthesia, painkillers such as heroin, coffee, etc. These drugs are easily addictive when used for too long, while also inhibiting sexual arousal, interfering with the brain's sexual discrimination ability, inhibiting hormone secretion, and reducing sexual function.
The third is hormone drugs. Mainly estrogen, progesterone, etc., counteract the physiological effects of androgens. The extensive and long-term use of various androgens such as decreased libido, poor ejaculation, or erectile dysfunction can also reduce testicular atrophy, testicular synthesis, and secretion of androgens.
Fourth, psychotropic drugs: Hibernating spirit, promethazine, promethazine, methidazine, amitriptyline, lithium carbonate, fluphenazine, phenolquine, monoamine oxidase inhibitor, droperidol, etc., can cause ejaculation difficulties, testicular atrophy, endocrine hormone secretion disorders and impotence.
The fifth is common drugs: cocaine (cough suppressant), ethylthioisoniazid and isoniazid (anti tuberculosis drug), tamiflu (gastric ulcer drug), coffee (painkiller), chlorpheniramine, cyproheptadine, etc.
