The body's ability to have sex is an indicator of male health. Diseases of the reproductive system may not only adversely affect the potency, but also become the cause of other problems, such as infertility. For this reason, when a patient asks a question of whether varicoceles affect the potency, the answer is yes, if not early treatment.
The relationship and influence
Varicocele - a disease in which the patient has varicose veins uviform plexus of the spermatic cord.
The extent of the impact varicocele in men on erectile function will depend on the stage of the disease. At the initial stage of a pathological process does not manifest itself. Diagnosis of the disease is possible only during a medical examination. At this stage of varicocele does not affect potency. Erection problems arise as there is progression of the disease.
The disease leads to the appearance of these symptoms:
- pain in the scrotum;
- discomfort during movement;
- sweating reproductive organ;
- difficulty urinating.
The combination of these factors leads to the fact that man alone refuses to have sexual intercourse, because during intercourse pain begin to increase.
An erection is the result of several organs and systems. When sexual arousal in the body produces adrenaline. It affects the operation of the cerebral cortex, which starts to transmit a nerve impulse to the spinal cord. When one (pulse) reaches the sacral spine, then it transmits signals to nerve roots penis. At this stage, it dilates blood vessels and blood fills the cavernous body of the reproductive organ.
Upon reaching the peak of sexual arousal in the bloodstream ejects testosterone, stimulates the prostate gland, which produces the seminal fluid. In this step, the blood vessels are filled scrotum and press on the testes. On the canal, located in the spermatic cord, testicular sperm out. They are mixed with semen and leave the male body (ejaculation occurs).
Due to the fact that the disease soprvozhdaetsya varicose veins, the consequence of which is a violation of the blood supply to the genitals, a varicocele can cause impotence.
The disease can develop at any age. At the initial stage of the pathology of the child is not dangerous for the occurrence of erectile dysfunction in the future. For this reason, the operation is preferably carried out after the end of puberty, but the patient should undergo regular checkups. If the disease will progress rapidly, to avoid problems with potency, the operation can be carried out before the end of puberty.
If you do not treat the disease, sexual dysfunction may be irreversible. Progression of the disease can cause testicular atrophy. At this stage, the impact of varicocele extended to men the hormonal background. Also disorders of sperm production process, the patient is reduced testosterone. Combination of these factors leads to impotence and infertility.
How to increase sexual power after diseases
When diagnosed varicocele and male sexual potency is sharply reduced (in the first few days after detection of the disease), most often the cause of such a violation is a psycho-emotional state patient. In most cases, the treatment of sexual dysfunction disappears on its own. If a man after surgery physical state of health is satisfactory, but there is a psychological problem, erection disorder should be treated with psychotherapy.
In some patients, after varicocele surgery Erectile dysfunction may persist for several months. Most often, the inability to have intercourse is due to the restoration of the body (healing surgical wounds, the normalization of hormonal background, and so on.).
Period of abstinence from sexual intercourse after surgery will depend on the type of operation. It is not recommended to ignore this medical recommendation. If you start an active sex life before the deadline, complications can occur.
Once the disease is recommended to eliminate the intense physical and emotional stress. diet should be normalized to strengthen the cardiovascular system. Food should be easy to digest and does not cause constipation. The organism must provide sufficient amounts of vitamins.
To avoid the circulatory disturbances of the process in the scrotum, a patient is prescribed the wearing jockstrap. When damaged tissue operative intervention will be restored, a man recommended to perform a set of exercises. Classes are conducted in order to prevent stagnation of blood in the pelvic organs.
A positive effect on male potency has a regular sexual life (after doctor's permission). It must be safe, ie with the use of barrier contraception, unless there is a permanent partner. Every sexual act must be completed, ie end with ejaculation.
