What happens when cervical spondylosis causes impotence

Impotence due to cervical spondylosis may be caused by cervical spondylosis affecting nerve conduction and spinal cord function. Cervical spondylosis is a disease based on degenerative disc disease. It is usually due to long-term cervical strain, osteophytes or disc herniation, ligament thickening, compression of the cervical cord, nerve roots, vertebral artery, and stimulation of the sympathetic nerves, leading to a series of clinical dysfunction syndromes. Some patients with cervical spondylosis can affect sexual function because cervical spondylosis affects nerve conduction and spinal cord function. In particular, advanced neurological disorders can lead to endocrine disorders, which can inhibit the secretion of pituitary gonadotropins and affect sexual function. At the same time, the compression of bone spurs in the neck hyperplasia stimulates the sympathetic nerves and vertebral arteries, inhibits the reflexes of the cerebral cortex, and affects the erectile function of the penis, thus leading to sexual dysfunction, such as impotence and premature ejaculation. It is recommended that patients with cervical spondylosis should consult a doctor in time and take targeted treatment under the guidance of the doctor for early recovery.
