In the clinic, I often see patients with impotence, most of them are middle-aged, mostly between 35 and 45 years old, and many of them have big bellies, a lot of stress at work, and some of them have disharmony between husband and wife, all with embarrassed faces. Whenever this happens I spend a little more time, explaining in detail and soothing the emotions, I know this is when they are most helpless. For this age group, it is only normal that sexual function decreases compared to the 20s, but erection is not hard, or even unable to enter the female body at all, which must be a “pathology”, causing this “pathology” for many reasons, including sub-health status, psychological problems. There are many reasons for this “pathology”, including subnormal health, psychological problems, and less organic pathology. What is impotence? Most patients answer “I can’t get an erection” or “I’m not hard enough”, but they ignore the question of time. Let’s see how impotence is defined medically: “persistent or repeated inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient to complete a satisfactory sexual life, the duration of the disease should be at least 3 months”. According to this criterion, in fact, many people cannot make this diagnosis, so if you find that there is a problem with erection, do not be anxious, most of the time it can be improved with proper conditioning, when to see a doctor? When to adjust yourself and how to adjust? For most impotence, mental and psychological factors and poor physical condition are the main causes of erectile dysfunction, which is also known as functional impotence. In detail, there are several main reasons as follows: 1, psychosocial reasons: such as work tension, complex interpersonal relationships, too much mental pressure; bad environment for sexual intercourse; encounter major changes, loss of interest in sex. 2, emotional reasons: disharmony between husband and wife, lack of love and trust for the woman, or even boredom; failure of sexual intercourse produces inferiority complex, tension, anxiety and other psychological problems; 3, cognitive aspects. Poor sexual knowledge, suspicion of their own sexual organs, gullible to some books, audio and video products incorrect guidance. 4, bad lifestyle: including smoking, alcohol, lack of exercise, overwork, etc. 1.Regulate life and rest, ensure sufficient sleep, quit smoking and alcohol; 2.Enhance physical exercise, insist on walking for 1 hour or jogging for 30 minutes daily; 3.Attend a psychological counseling session for Mr. and Mrs. Zhang, analyze the cause of Mr. Zhang’s disease, and obtain Mrs. Zhang’s understanding and cooperation; 4.Take Chinese herbal soup for 2 weeks to nourish the heart and spleen, and dredge the liver and gallbladder. Second, organic impotence, about the whole body For organic impotence, to understand its cause first of all, we must briefly understand the process of penile erection, the human body secretes androgens is the root of the desire for erection, the lack of androgens can not start the whole process of erection, and the central nerve and peripheral nerve is like the fuse of erection, smooth burning will detonate the erection “bomb “The health of the penile blood vessels represents the power of the “bomb”, which involves three aspects: endocrine, neurological and vascular, any one of which will lead to impotence, so organic impotence is not a disease, but a manifestation of other diseases. How to determine if it is organic impotence? The first step is to find out if you are accompanied by the following diseases or bad habits: 1. vascular lesions: hypertension, hyperlipidemia, fat, smokers and alcoholics should pay attention. 2, neurological lesions: cranial and lumbar trauma, diabetes, alcoholism, spinal and pelvic and pubic surgical injuries. 3, endocrine diseases: pituitary tumors, abnormal thyroid function, primary testicular hypofunction (often testicles are smaller than normal). These lesions can often be clarified through routine physical examinations, so it is important to have an annual physical examination. If you have any of the above diseases, please seek prompt medical attention. Some friends do not have the conditions for physical examination, I suggest that you can first exclude various causes of functional impotence, like the above Mr. Zhang to do two months of conditioning, if the effect is not good or ineffective, then you should consult the male department.
