Effects of chronic alcohol consumption on sexual function

Every time I see the clinic there are always many patients ask me the reason for their impotence and premature ejaculation, by asking their medical history, it is not difficult to find that a large part of them have a long-term habit of drinking alcohol. Today, we will talk about the harm and mechanism of alcohol to everyone. Modern research has found that large quantities of long-term alcohol consumption not only disrupts the secretion of sex hormones, but also leads to gonadal atrophy, resulting in decreased libido, impotence, ejaculation difficulties. Clinical data show that 50% of alcoholics suffer from sexual dysfunction (more likely if their liver function is not good). Less than half of those who quit drinking can return to normal sexual function. If you drink a lot of alcohol over a long period of time, it is very likely that it will eventually lead to a complete loss of sexual function. Summarize the following points long-term drinking on the impact of sexual function a, erectile dysfunction Male friends if continuous 2 to 5 years of drinking more than half a pound a day, generally lead to complete impotence, summarized in the following five aspects of the reason: 1, men drink alcohol quickly into the inhibited state. If you rush to have sexual intercourse in this short-lived state of excitement, you will be too excited, reckless and rude, or even lose your temper, and your sexual ability will be easily deviated, and erectile dysfunction will occur due to the inhibited state of the nervous system that controls sexual ability. 2, sexual function is mainly regulated by the central nervous system, too much alcohol in the body, will produce significant inhibition of the central nervous system, interfere with the reflex conduction pathway of excitation. Long-term heavy drinking will make men’s blood androgen levels significantly lower, which will cause testicular atrophy, ultimately leading to impotence. 3, affect the metabolism of sex hormones. Foreign data show that long-term heavy drinking blood androgen testosterone content is significantly lower than that of people who do not drink alcohol. One is because alcohol hinders testicular production of testosterone; two is because the stimulation of alcohol will make the liver accelerate the decomposition of testosterone. 4, long-term heavy drinking will also have a great impact on the overall physical condition. It is not difficult to find out that most people who have been drinking alcohol for a long time or who are often drunk will have manifestations such as emaciation, fatigue, loss of appetite, etc. In particular, after the stimulation of the gastrointestinal mucosa by the alcohol content, it will seriously hamper the digestive function and cause a decline in the level of nutrition. In the overall physical decline at the same time, sexual ability will also decline. 5, the impact of the vascular system. Just after drinking alcohol, a large amount of blood is concentrated in the brain and skin blood vessels, if sexual intercourse at this time, the sexual organs suddenly need a lot of blood, there will be insufficient penile congestion and thus can not be effective erection. Long-term heavy drinking can also induce atherosclerosis, if the penile arteriosclerosis, blood vessels become narrow, the degree of penile spongy blood congestion will be affected, so that the erectile function is weakened. Second, loss of libido 1, alcohol is a gonadal toxin, long-term large amounts of alcohol will lead to gonadal toxicity, manifested as a reduction in blood testosterone levels, the appearance of loss of libido. 2, excessive or long-term alcohol consumption can cause testicular damage, clinically can appear libido, or even frigidity. 3, alcoholism can make the liver function is damaged, the inactivation of estrogen decreased, the body estrogen increase, will also affect sexual function. Third, ejaculation disorder Foreign data show that a large number of alcohol drinkers have 5% to 10% of people with ejaculation disorder. Many people will have ejaculation disorder and lose confidence in sexual life, and finally even lose the ability to have sexual intercourse. Fourth, abnormal sexual behavior Due to the paralysis of alcohol, many men will often show excessive aggression towards their sexual partners, and may even force the other party to do to make her unhappy behavior. General alcoholism men’s sexual demands are often rejected by their sexual partners, which may trigger the occurrence of sexual unhappiness or even family sexual violence. It seriously affects the normal sexual behavior of the couple. Summing up Drinking alcohol is really the culprit of sexual dysfunction of many male friends, I hope you will pay attention to these aspects in the future, too Oh!
