A weak erection in men occurs under the influence of various factors. Representatives of the stronger sex pay attention to the state of health of the reproductive system. Various troubles lead the men into a panic. One should not go into extremes. It is necessary to consult a urologist and andrologist. These specialists will identify the causes of the pathology and restore the sexual power of the patient.
How does sexual arousal arise
An erection is a physiological process of filling the penis with blood under the influence of external pathogens.
This process is spontaneous. Basically, this phenomenon occurs at night and is called pollutants. In the morning, the state of erection occurs without the influence of excitation. A man can not control the process of stimulation independently. For him is responsible physiology.
The penis has cavernous bodies in its tissues. These bodies have hollow cavities. Under the influence of excitation, they fill with blood. The total volume of blood can be 150 ml. Blood is blocked in the cavernous bodies by special sphincters. After ejaculation, the excitation subsides, and the blood begins to circulate normally.
If under the influence of any factors occurs incomplete filling of cavernous bodies or completely absent, then the erection can last a short time. The causes of this pathology can not be independently identified. This can only be done by a specialist.
Causes of dysfunction
Various factors can affect the excitation process. Physicians divide them into two main groups:
- External;
- Physiological.
External causes include all negative environmental effects on a patient's health. Many men in the modern world have a low-activity lifestyle. Long stay in one place adversely affects the health of the internal organs of the small pelvis. This especially affects the condition of the prostate gland. She is responsible for producing hormone-testosterone and the secret of seminal fluid. Various ailments of this organ lead to changes in the structure and work of the gland. She begins to produce less hormone. Testosterone is responsible for the secondary signs of a man, his ability to conceive. Reducing its level leads to a decrease in libido and erectile dysfunction.
The nervous system is directly related to the sex drive of a man. Long-term stress and nerve stresses deplete a man's health status. Nervous breakdowns lead to deterioration of the whole organism and the reproductive system. Under the influence of the hormone adrenaline, the transmission of a nerve impulse from the brain is disrupted. The man ceases to experience sexual arousal. In severe cases, the patient disappears at night. Such a condition should be treated by a psychologist and neuropathologist.
Improper power supply can damage the excitation process. Many patients abuse beer and smoking. But not many of them know about the content of a large amount of estrogen hormones in beer. Long-term use of the drink leads to the accumulation of estradiol in the body. The male testosterone level drops and estradiol increases. This hormone activates the process of accumulation of fat mass by a female type and disrupts the work of the gonads. Such men have full sides, stomach and thighs. On the body there is an insignificant amount of vegetation. A prolonged beer dependence leads to a weak erection or a complete loss of it.
Physiological factors include various diseases that are present in a man's anamnesis. For a full erection, the following pathologies are dangerous:
- Various prostatitis;
- Diabetes mellitus in history;
- Hormonal imbalance;
- Inflammatory diseases of the genitourinary system;
- Cardiovascular pathology;Injuries to internal and external genital organs.
Prostatitis occurs against the background of a prolonged inflammatory process in the prostate gland. Inflammation adversely affects the structure and performance of the gland. The prostate ceases to produce the necessary amount of secretion and the erection weakens. Treatment of prostatitis should be carried out by a specialist. If the disease is not eliminated on time, the man faces impotence and further infertility.
Diabetes mellitus will disrupt the vascular system of peripheral organs and tissues of the human body. The walls of the vessels lose their elasticity. There are various wounds and ulcers. Diabetes destroys the vascular bundle of the reproductive system. Blood can not fully enter the cavernous bodies, the man's erection weakens. Treatment of such pathology is carried out together with diabetic therapy.
Violation of the sex glands leads to a change in the level of hormones. Testosterone may decrease, its place is occupied by dihydrosterone. This hormone does not contribute to the development of full spermatozoa and secretions. The composition of the seminal fluid varies.
It thickens and passes badly through the genitourinary tract. Stagnation of seminal fluid blocks the flow of the required amount of blood and oxygen to the tissues of the penis. A man loses a sexual attraction, his erection weakens, irritability and lack of sleep appear. Treatment is carried out under the control of an endocrinologist and andrologist.
Inflammatory diseases of the genitourinary system cause various pathogens. Often a man and does not suspect the presence of a pathogenic bacterium in his body. Common symptoms of such diseases are urinary disorders, pain of the inguinal zone, erectile dysfunction. Specialists send this group of patients to a smear from the urethra to identify an unpleasant microorganism. Treatment is conducted using antibiotic and anti-inflammatory therapy.
Cardiovascular diseases lead to various pathologies in vascular tissue. Violation of the heart leads to improper blood circulation and hematopoiesis. Erythrocytes or red blood cells are responsible for the delivery of oxygen to the organs and tissues of a man. Violation of the composition of the blood adversely affects the full erection. The erection of a man depends on the full filling of cavernous bodies with blood, saturated with oxygen. If this process is broken, then the patient loses the ability to erect.
Injuries to internal and external genital organs can lead to various pathological processes. In the organs of the small pelvis, adhesion can be activated. Pathology affects the process of ejaculation and urination. Spikes in the testes or cavernous bodies of the penis affect the ability of its excitation. An erection with some injuries is considered impossible. Spikes can only be removed surgically. Medicamental treatment is prescribed to prevent the formation of new partitions.
Diagnosis of the disease
Erectile dysfunction requires a lot of attention from doctors. Diagnosis depends on the causes of the pathology. There are a number of general procedures for identifying the causes of mild erections:
- Ultrasonic diagnosis of pelvic organs;
- Verification of vascular nutrition;Test for the duration of an erection.
ultrasound of the pelvic organs allows you to identify various pathologies. On the screen you can see changes in the state of the prostate, a violation in the urethra and adhesions. Ultrasound diagnosis provides a complete clinical picture.
Vascular supply can be checked by introducing a special solution into the bloodstream. If the fluid does not pass through some parts of the vascular bundle, then you can suspect the presence of varicocele in this man.
The test for the duration of erection is carried out with the help of medications. To do this, inject the solution into the penis, and set the duration of the erection. If the process does not pass by itself, the man experiences pain or discomfort, then the doctor enters the vasoconstrictor. The cause of the pathology is revealed by additional tests.
For the detection of inflammation and hormonal failure, a man must donate blood to hormones and white blood cells. White blood cells increase in quantity if the patient has any inflammatory disease. Hormones can cause a reduction in erection. An extensive blood test helps to supplement the clinical picture of the disease.
The most unpleasant procedure is taking a smear from the urethral canal. The procedure is necessary to identify pathogenic microorganisms that affect the weakening of the sexual function of men. Before giving the smear, a man should conduct a number of preparatory measures. The patient is recommended sexual rest, refusal of alcoholic drinks and smoking, observance of rules of personal hygiene.
Treatment of pathology
Treatment of erectile dysfunction is carried out in several ways:
- Drug administration;
- Compliance with dietary nutrition;
- Psychological treatment.
Drugs are prescribed depending on the problem that caused the erection of the erection. Therapy can be carried out with the help of antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, muscle relaxants or hormones. To maintain sexual health, the patient is encouraged to take additional stimulant medications. This group includes the following means: Viagra, Cialis, Loveron, Impaza, Sealex and others.
All stimulant drugs help prolong the process of erection in men. It must be remembered that they only give a temporary effect. The pathology, which entailed erectile dysfunction, is not treated with these drugs.
The patient should also be aware of the side effects of stimulant medications. Most of them have a detrimental effect on the cardiovascular system. Taking Viagra or Cialis can provoke strokes and heart attacks. Before taking stimulant medications, you should consult a specialist.
Adherence to dietary nutrition helps improve the condition of the genital area and the health of the entire body. For men, it is recommended to exclude fatty and fried foods, salt, flour products.
When erectile dysfunction is recommended to increase the intake of seafood. Many of them are a natural aphrodisiac and contribute to the improvement of sexual arousal. Especially such a quality oyster can boast. She is the leader among products that affect the potency of men. In Russian conditions, the oyster can be replaced with mussels. They contain less zinc and a natural hormone. But it is easy to compensate for the increase in the product used.
Sexual health is very important for a man's ability to lead a full-fledged lifestyle. Occurrence of various changes or a weak erection is an occasion for an immediate reference to a specialist.
