ED, that is, male erectile dysfunction, makes men lose face and even destroys the relationship between husband and wife. In fact, this is not all its dangers. Experts point out that erectile function is a barometer of male health. Men over 40 years old who have been "not lifting" for a long time may have suffered from high blood pressure, diabetes (special interview consultation), cardiovascular disease, etc. Erectile function is a barometer of men's health. "I have had a problem with 'that' for two or three years." "How is your physical condition recently? Have your blood pressure, blood sugar, and blood lipids been checked?" "I just had a physical examination, and my blood pressure and blood sugar are high." Such doctor-patient conversations often occur in men's clinics. Attention, fellow men, this conversation should wake you up. Andrology experts pointed out: ED is not only about sex, but also about life. Professor Ma Xiaonian from the Department of Sexual Medicine at Yuquan Hospital of Tsinghua University pointed out that erectile function can be called a barometer of men’s health because it may be an early warning sign of certain chronic diseases. “Clinical studies show that 2.5 to 3 years after men develop ED, they often develop Secondary cardiovascular disease, hypertension and diabetes." "In the past, people thought that ED was mainly caused by psychological factors, but recently more and more data show that chronic diseases are an important cause of ED." said Cheng Lili, a researcher at the Henan Family Planning Research Institute. Studies have found that 15% of patients with high blood pressure, 39% of patients with cardiovascular disease, and 20% of patients with diabetes may develop erectile dysfunction. Why is this? Gao Chuanyu, chief physician of the Department of Cardiology at Henan Provincial People's Hospital, explained that these chronic diseases can cause lesions in blood vessels throughout the body, including of course the blood vessels in the penis. Erection is a process of penile congestion. If there are lesions in the small arteries of the penis, the congestion will be incomplete. This is one of the causes of erectile dysfunction. "The blood vessels in the penis are very thin, and a slight lesion will cause abnormalities. Therefore, many doctors now agree that erectile dysfunction is a warning sign of a chronic disease unique to men." Menopausal ED starts at the age of 40. The reporter found in the men's clinic , erectile dysfunction is mainly seen by two age groups: young men in their 20s and middle-aged people over 40 years old. "ED patients in their 20s are mostly related to psychological factors. If they fail once or twice, they will pay too much attention, or they will be laughed at by the woman, leaving a psychological shadow from then on." Cheng Lifa said. ED patients over 40 years old may have chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. On October 17, 2008, the 10th Asia-Oceania Sexology Society Conference was held in Beijing. Experts attending the meeting proposed the concept of "menopausal ED". Men also have menopause? Yes. Testosterone is the most important androgen in men, mainly secreted by the testicles. If the testosterone level of middle-aged and elderly men over 40 years old decreases and the following symptoms occur, it means that they have entered menopause: (1) Reduced sexual desire, and the quality and frequency of erections decrease; (2) Emotional changes, accompanied by intellectual changes Decreased activity, cognitive function and spatial orientation, fatigue, depressed mood and irritability; (3) Insomnia; (4) Increased visceral fat; (5) Hair loss and skin changes; (6) Decreased bone density, resulting in bone loss Loss of body mass and increased risk of osteoporosis and fractures. Research shows that when men’s testosterone levels decrease, they are more likely to suffer from chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Experts remind: Menopausal ED may begin at the age of 40. One of the characteristics of the decline in erectile function is a gradual decline. "It is not as good as it used to be." Psychogenic ED in young men has obvious psychological triggers, and erectile function may fluctuate with changes in the environment, time, and objects of sex. It is estimated that 90% of ED patients do not receive formal treatment, some secretly take aphrodisiacs of unknown origin, and some simply give up their married life. Experts remind that once ED occurs, middle-aged and elderly people should pay attention to it and enter the clinic openly to avoid delaying the diagnosis and treatment of the chronic diseases behind ED. For such patients, chronic diseases must be actively treated while treating ED. When treating ED, PDE5 inhibitors such as * can be taken orally. This type of drug acts on the smooth muscle tissue of the corpus cavernosum and blood vessels of the penis, dilating the arteries and congesting the corpus cavernosum, thereby solving the patient's erection problem. Even if menopausal ED is caused by diseases such as hypertension and diabetes, it can still be used safely. Because erection is not only the mission of the lower body, but also related to psychological, emotional and other factors. Therefore, patients should maintain a happy mood and eliminate the mental burden caused by anxiety and tension. This article comes from adult.6kmall.com and is published by netizens.
