Erectile dysfunction in men can come to light at different ages. Pathology occurs for various reasons and causes a lot of inconvenience to the patient. Self-treatment of this problem should not be dealt with. There is a large number of pathological factors that lead to an erection disorder in men. To correctly establish the cause of the pathology, you need to contact your doctor for advice. Only after the correct diagnosis can you carry out therapy. If the problem is ignored, severe complications develop, one of which is impotence.
Characteristics of the development of excitation
Erection in men is a very complex and delicate process. The completeness and duration of excitation depends on the coordinated work of several systems. When sexual arousal occurs, such systems are included, such as:
- Vascular;
- Hormonal;
- Muscular;
- Nervous;
- Sexual.
When the first signs of excitation in the cerebral cortex begin to work actively nerve endings. Nerve roots send a signal to the ends of the penis. When the pulse appears, blood circulation begins to increase. Blood enters the cavernous bodies of the penis. When the bodies are completely filled, the blood fixes before the ejaculation. When the peak of pleasure is reached, the man releases a hormone. Testosterone activates the prostate gland. She deduces the secret of seminal fluid in special ducts. In the vas deferens, the secretion is mixed with the sex cells of the male. A ready sperm enters the urinary tract. The process ends with ejaculation.
If complications arise in one of these systems, erectile dysfunction develops. Dysfunction can be of a different nature. Any stage of the pathology requires urgent treatment.
Causes of the
problem Erectile dysfunction can appear in a man under the influence of a variety of factors. Often this problem depends on the age of the patient.
After 45 years, the hormonal system is dying out. In this case, the patient has a decrease in sexual desire, incomplete erection, lack of ejaculation. All these problems can also be easily eliminated if treatment is requested in a timely manner.
The appearance of erectile dysfunction is influenced by factors such as:
- Hormonal changes;
-
Vascular diseases; - Inflammatory processes in the genitourinary system;
- Bacterial lesion of the gonads and organs;
- Psychological state of the patient;
- Associated pathologies in a patient's medical history;
- Improper nutrition and harmful preferences;
- Viral pathologies that are sexually transmitted;
- Medication therapy of concomitant pathologies.
Hormonal system of a man is of great importance in the appearance of erection. The system is designed to produce testosterone. The hormone is necessary for the man for development of secondary sexual attributes, occurrence of excitation, correct work of a prostate. For all these functions to be performed, the amount of testosterone in the blood is maintained at a constant level. If there is a decrease in the amount of the substance, then there are pathological symptoms. In such patients, a decrease in hairiness is noted in the male type, the work of the reproductive system is disrupted, the figure loses its male forms, the voice becomes higher. To determine the cause of the appearance of such signs, it is necessary to undergo a medical examination.
The pathological effect on the erection and vascular system. Violation of blood circulation leads to a decrease in the elasticity of their walls and partial cell death. In this case, a man may experience incomplete filling of the cavernous bodies of the penis. Pathology is accompanied by incomplete erection. In severe cases, the man completely lacks sexual arousal. Such symptoms can indicate a violation of blood circulation in the inguinal vein. To accurately establish the cause, the patient must undergo ultrasound examination and Doppler.
One of the causes of erectile dysfunction is inflammation of the urogenital system. The inflammatory process is localized in various organs. A frequent cause of inflammation of the urogenital organs is a prolonged stay in a sitting posture or hypothermia. Pathology is not immediately apparent. Symptoms grow gradually. In some cases, a complication in the form of erectile dysfunction is revealed after a few months.
Modern doctors noted that many patients have bacterial diseases of the genitals. The pathways of the pathological microorganism are different. They note such ways of infection as: improper personal hygiene, violation of protection measures in case of sexual contact, traumatization of genital organs. When ingested into the genito-urinary organs, the bacteria begin to multiply actively. On the examination of the patient, the accumulation of the products of the vital activity of the microorganism and the dead tissues that fed the microbe are revealed. Bacterial infections have certain symptoms that depend on the localization of groups of pathogenic microorganisms.
Often erectile dysfunction is detected in men who have certain psychological stress. Problems at work, prolonged stay in depression, quarrels and conflicts affect the presence of sexual attraction in men. This reason should not be ignored. Therapy is conducted in conjunction with a psychologist. If the patient has an unoccupied condition, the treatment gives quick results.
Many patients have a number of chronic diseases. These include diabetes mellitus, hypertension, oncological neoplasms and many others. In diabetes, the patient suffers from all internal organs. In diabetics, the trophic nutrition of peripheral tissues is significantly impaired. Against this background, there is a decrease in penis filling and duration of sexual contact. Hypertension has problems with the heart muscle. Because of the strong blood pressure on the tissue, the vascular walls thinen. This also has a pathological effect on penis filling.
The development of erectile dysfunction can be affected by malnutrition and various bad habits. Oily and fried foods have a harmful effect on the vascular system. Under its influence, a rapid increase in body weight occurs. Patients who are overweight often have problems of a sexual nature. Erectile dysfunction also occurs in men who abuse alcohol. Alcohol molecules reduce the content of healthy spermatozoa in the seminal fluid, significantly reduce the volume of the ejaculate, worsen blood circulation. Therapy is carried out under the control of several specialists. The main effect is giving up harmful products and alcohol.
Very dangerous and viral diseases that are transmitted sexually. These diseases reduce the protective barrier of men, disrupts the work of the genito-urinary organs. The simplest method of protection against such diseases is a conventional condom. If a man has latex intolerance, sexual contact should be controlled.
Erectile dysfunction may occur after additional treatment for comorbid conditions. The problem is accompanied by radiation therapy, strong antibiotic drugs, immunostimulating treatment. Restoration of sexual function occurs a few months after these treatments.
Symptomatic of
problem A man with erectile dysfunction develops various symptoms. Symptoms depend on the causes of the problem. Specialists also distinguish common signs of sexual weakness:
-
Excitation lasts less time and quickly disappears; - The frequency of sexual contact decreases;
- There is discomfort during sexual intercourse;
- In some cases there is a lack of ejaculate.
The error of many patients is silence. Men hide dangerous signs and become isolated. If the treatment is carried out on time, then the recovery will occur faster. Unfortunately, some patients turn to the doctor at the stage of impotence. In this case, therapy takes a long time and does not always achieve a positive effect.
Diagnosis and treatment methods
Diagnosis of the patient is of great importance. To properly appoint a doctor, you need to know the cause of erectile dysfunction. Diagnosis is carried out by taking analyzes and referring to a hardware examination. To study the patient, it is necessary to donate blood from the finger, a swab from the urinary canal. Individual patients take ejaculate for study.
The hardware test is performed using ultrasound. This study allows you to establish the localization of the process and identify the harm that the body has managed to get.
After the examination, the patient is prescribed treatment. Therapy is carried out with the help of the following effects:
- Medication;
- Surgical intervention;
- Hardware impact;
- Additional therapy.
The choice of therapy depends on the diagnosis and is prescribed strictly by a specialist. For self-strengthening of sexual function, you can use such tools as: "Viagra", "Cialis", "Sialec", "Loveron".You can take them only with the permission of the treating doctor.
Erectile disorder gives a man a lot of problems. To avoid family conflicts and not get impotence, it is recommended to consult a doctor. Timely medical treatment will help maintain sexual health.
