Male sexual dysfunction stems from affluenza

  Recently, the authority of the health survey, with the improvement of living conditions, hypertension, coronary heart disease, hyperlipidemia, diabetes and obesity, the five “rich disease” not only threaten people’s health, especially will cause sexual dysfunction, affecting the quality of sexual life of couples. According to the Massachusetts Male Aging Study, a random survey of 1,290 men aged 40-70 found that “erectile dysfunction” is a common condition, according to statistics, about 52% of men over 40 years of age suffer from erectile dysfunction, either mildly or severely. Among them, 17.2% are mild; 35.2% are moderate; and 9.6% are severe. After age correction, the prevalence of complete erectile dysfunction was 28% in treated diabetics, 39% in heart patients, and 15% in men undergoing anti-hypertensive treatment; the higher the stress after the disease, the higher the prevalence of complete erectile dysfunction. About 90 percent of men who feel severely depressed have complete erectile dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction has become common due to better living conditions, longer life expectancy, many cities have entered an elderly society, and increased incidence of cardiovascular system diseases (hypertension, coronary heart disease, etc.) diabetes, etc. Globally, more than 100 million male patients suffer from various degrees of erectile dysfunction.  1, hypertension Hypertension can not only cause cardiovascular disease, but also due to atherosclerosis, so that the lower body blood flow is reduced, thus affecting the erectile function of the penis, which can lead to or aggravate erectile dysfunction. Laboratory observations of cardiovascular and respiratory activity in healthy individuals during sexual intercourse, including intercourse and orgasm, have demonstrated significant increases in heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure. masters and Johnson found that during orgasm systolic blood pressure increased by 30-80 mm Hg and diastolic blood pressure by 20-50 mm Hg; heart rate increased to 140-180 beats per minute. Even with the ability to have intercourse hypertensive patients have lower penile blood flow rates than normal men. And the lowest in patients with erectile dysfunction hypertension.  It should be noted that many hypertension drugs themselves have side effects that affect erectile function, so it is important to note this when choosing hypertension drugs.  2, coronary heart disease coronary heart disease and erectile dysfunction is more closely related, erectile function changes may be the initial clinical manifestations of systemic atherosclerosis.  Hypertension, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high weight, advanced age, smoking and other factors are risk factors for the occurrence of coronary heart disease. In addition, patients with coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction are mainly elderly people, who are influenced by the idea that “elderly people should take care of their bodies and sex is harmful to their bodies and minds”, and are psychologically depressed, avoidant and lack confidence. Some authors investigated that only 14.7% of male patients aged 48-65 years or more after myocardial infarction could maintain a normal sexual life, 20.5% had impotence, 14.7% had reduced sexual desire, 17.6% had reduced sexual activity, and 2.3% had reduced sexual intercourse. The body shows that in addition to the factors of atherosclerosis of the penile arteries, the patient’s scruples and fears after the disease can lead to cortical dysfunction, which in turn affects sexual function.  3, hyperlipidemia hyperlipidemia can cause endothelial lipid deposition in the arteries and atherosclerosis, which is one of the main risk factors for hypertension, coronary heart disease and stroke, and is also one of the factors leading to erectile dysfunction. Some studies have shown that total serum cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein are associated with erectile dysfunction. That is, the higher the total serum cholesterol and the lower the HDL, the greater the likelihood of erectile dysfunction. In addition, some lipid-lowering drugs also have adverse effects on sexual function, such as Antomin has the side effect of reducing libido and sexual activity.  4, diabetes diabetes triggers vascular and neuropathy, is one of the diseases most closely related to erectile dysfunction. About 23%-75% of adult men with diabetes will have problems with erections or erections that don’t last. Patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes (type II diabetes) are seven times more likely to develop erectile dysfunction than the non-diabetic population. Most of the inability to get an erection in diabetic patients arises gradually, and erectile insufficiency is aggravated by the condition or physical condition. In addition to erectile dysfunction, there is erectile dysfunction in addition to erectile dysfunction, there are many patients for premature ejaculation or with premature ejaculation, the incidence even exceeds erectile dysfunction, up to 71.89%; there is also about 1-2% of diabetic patients occur retrograde ejaculation, or even sexual dysfunction such as non-ejaculation. This is due to neuropathy affecting the tactile sensation of the penis, reducing the erectile response; as well as peripheral arteriosclerosis, affecting the blood supply to the penis, coupled with excessive psychological concern, resulting in sexual dysfunction. Thus, the patient feels that the heart is not strong enough or aversion to sex.  5, obesity Many obese patients with sexual dysfunction, some simple obese patients sex hormone measurement shows that the blood testosterone low, estrogen high, low libido, a study found that overweight patients plasma free testosterone and combined with the level of ketone significantly lower than normal weight men. Obese people are prone to diabetes, hypertension, coronary heart disease and other diseases, obese people because of the excessive weight due to inconvenience in sexual life, causing mental burden, and can cause some psychological problems.  The occurrence and development of “affluenza” has a very close relationship with the bad habits of urban people, smoking, alcoholism, interpersonal tension, lack of physical exercise, unreasonable dietary structure, as well as poor environmental and genetic factors, etc., are the triggers of “affluenza The culprit of “affluenza”. Experts believe that the prevention of “affluenza” on people’s aggression, one to say goodbye to bad habits, quit smoking, alcohol; two to develop good eating habits, eat more low salt, low sugar, low-fat affairs, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits; three is to reduce the pace of urban tension, adjust life, work style, to achieve a degree of openness, combined with work and rest; Fourth, actively participate in physical exercise to improve physical fitness, reduce the “rich disease” attack.
