Causes and diagnosis of impotence
To understand the question of how to raise an erection, you must first find out the reason for the decrease in sexual strength. Usually, sexual dysfunction develops as a result of psychological disorders.
Among men, especially young men, such a phenomenon as ASFES (anxious expectation of sexual failure syndrome) is widespread. It develops as a result of unsuccessful sexual experience, complexes, fear of not satisfying the chosen one, and even fear of contracting an STD.
Other factors can lead to impaired erectile function:
- Diabetes mellitus (type I and II).
- Chronic prostatitis, prostatic hyperplasia, cystitis, urethritis and other pathologies of the genitourinary system. Even cancer can cause a violation of potency.
- Lack of testosterone. This problem is especially common among men over the age of 50. It is during this period that androgens cease to be synthesized in sufficient quantities.
- Diseases accompanied by impaired nerve conduction. ED can be caused by multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, herniated discs, and even spinal cord pathologies.
- Injuries to the penis, spinal cord, perineal organs.
- Diseases of the heart and blood vessels. IHD, arterial hypertension (high blood pressure), arrhythmia, heart failure, and recent myocardial infarction can reduce an erection. Heart surgery and stroke can adversely affect sexual strength.
- Long-term use of antiandrogens, 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors, drugs for gout and diabetes, tranquilizers, sedative pills, beta-blockers, cardiac glycosides.
- Diseases of the thyroid gland.
- Physical overload.
- Bad habits and unbalanced diet.
- Prolonged lack of sex.
- Passive lifestyle.
To pinpoint the root cause of ED, a physical examination of the penis and scrotum is done. Also, a rectal examination of the prostate gland, a study of nocturnal erections, and a psychosocial examination are performed.
In addition, the patient needs to take a blood test for PSA (prostate specific antigen), free and total testosterone, dihydrotestosterone, FSH, LH, estradiol, prolactin.
For auxiliary purposes, ultrasound of the pelvic organs and an erection test are used (a special drug is used in the analysis).
