What are the diseases that cause male impotence
1、 Neurological disorders
Older men will have chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension and hyperlipidemia. If not well controlled, it can affect neural function and hinder erection.
2、 Testicular small
As one ages, some people may experience testicular shrinkage. The testicle is the main organ that secretes androgens, and changes in its volume naturally affect the amount of androgen secreted, thereby affecting sexual desire. This reduction is a physiological change that cannot be reversed, but can be compensated for by supplementing androgens.
3、 Decreased androgen secretion
Some people's testicles do not shrink, but androgen secretion still decreases due to aging. Doctors can detect problems through blood tests.
4、 Penile curvature
The surface of the corpus cavernosum of the penis hardens, making it increasingly curved, especially after an erection, making it difficult to perform sexual intercourse. Although this is rare among Eastern people, once it occurs, it can only be treated through surgery.
5、 Vascular issues
Blood vessels gradually harden and narrow, leading to a decrease in blood flow. In this way, even if sexual desire is high, the erection status will still be compromised. At this point, patients should take erectile promoting drugs under the guidance of a doctor.
6、 Gastrointestinal drugs
For example, cimetidine, ranitidine, and Nizatidine are widely used gastrointestinal drugs, mainly used to treat peptic ulcers. More and more case reports indicate that they can cause sexual dysfunction, and long-term use of these drugs can lead to ED, loss of libido, and breast development in young men.
7、 Psychostimulants and anesthetics
The most common ones are alcohol, nicotine, cocaine, heroin, marijuana, etc. People often question the impact of alcohol on erectile function. "Isn't it easier to get sexually excited after drinking?" Here, we overlook the difference between libido and erection: alcohol can increase libido, but it can affect erectile function and reduce the hardness of penile erection.
