Impaired erectile function and decreased libido is a real problem for modern men. The pharmaceutical industry is actively using the desire of male representatives to meet the imposed standards of intimate life, offering a huge selection of various stimulants. Forgotten popular recipes are also making a comeback. The best mediums for potency can be identified in each niche. The choice depends on the cause of the sexual dysfunction and your general health.
Phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors
The leading positions in the ranking of means for stimulating erection and treating impotence are occupied by drugs based on inhibitors of phosphodiesterase type 5 (enzyme).
All drugs have the same principle of action, which is to improve erection by relaxing the walls of the arteries and blood vessels in the penis. The active substance blocks phosphodiesterase, which allows nitric oxide to be freely released from endothelial cells (the inner layer of blood vessels responsible for the dynamics of their contraction). As a result, the smooth muscles of the blood vessels relax, and their lumen increases.
Phosphodiesterase inhibitors work only with sexual stimulation in an aroused state.
These drugs are considered the most effective remedies for impotence. But since the enzyme, to which its activity is directed, is not found only in the penis, side effects are likely to occur:
- headache;
- dizziness, blurred vision;
- dyspeptic disorders;
- increased pressure;
- Muscle pain;
- swelling of the nasal mucosa.
According to statistics, the largest number of negative manifestations in the drug, the action of which is limited to 6 hours, the smallest - in the drug, the duration of which is 10 hours. The latter drug is the gentlest for the retina. The longest action of the drug in this group is 36 hours.
Only one drug has a short absorption period, the first effect is felt after 15 minutes. For other funds, the waiting time for the activity starts from an hour and a half.
It should be noted: the time of action of tablets is directly proportional to the duration of possible side effects.
Studies have shown that thanks to the popular PDE-5 inhibitor with the most powerful effect in terms of increasing penile elasticity, 89% of the total number of men who participated in the experiment had the highest degree of erection. The ability to have full sexual contact increased 20 times.
NO synthase activators
NO synthase is an enzyme that produces nitric oxide. The more active gas production, the more effectively the smooth muscles of the vessels relax. Purified antibodies against this enzyme have the ability to stimulate the work of NO-synthase. Based on them, a drug was created that does not affect the heart rate and does not cause associated side effects. It can be taken in old age, as well as against the background of cardiovascular pathologies.
The remedy is a homeopathic remedy. To correct erectile function caused by vascular disorders and age-related changes, it is taken in a 12-week course. At the end of treatment, the effect persists for six months.
hormonal remedies
The lack of testosterone is one of the main causes of potency disorders. The level of this hormone can be determined by a blood test. But even if there is a deficiency, taking drugs to increase testosterone on your own is strictly prohibited.
To correct the hormonal level, doctors prescribe the following means:
- Testosterone patch (allergic skin reactions likely);
- Testosterone-containing gel. Hormones enter the body transdermally, their level is maintained for 4 days;
- oral capsules with androgens. The active substance is rapidly absorbed and excreted;
- testosterone injectionsRapid-release forms (testosterone cypionate) have a shorter effect, slow-release forms (testosterone unedecanoate) act for 3 months;
- implant form implanted under the skin (rejection, allergic reactions are possible).
Treatment with such drugs is carried out strictly under the supervision of a doctor, since most of them are toxic to the liver. In case of overdose, serious consequences are possible (eg testicular atrophy).
Prostaglandin E1 analogs
Prostaglandins are a group of active substances that actively participate in metabolic processes. They are formed from fatty acids in the cells of the body. Prostaglandin E1 controls the contraction of vascular smooth muscle tissue, affects hormone synthesis, and regulates the activity of the nervous system. An artificial substitute for this substance helps improve erection by relaxing the walls of the blood vessels and the corpus cavernosum of the penis. It is administered transurethrally or intracavernosally.
Means are effective in neurogenic, psychogenic and vascular types of erectile dysfunction. After the introduction, the effect occurs within 5-10 minutes and lasts about 3 hours.
Adverse reactions:
- bruising, fibrosis;
- pain in the penis and testicles;
- increased pressure;
- headache;
- vascular disorders.
Dose selection is carried out by a doctor on an outpatient basis.
serotonin reuptake inhibitors
Serotonin is not only a "hormone of joy", but also a neurotransmitter that regulates the process of arousal and erection. With an increase in its concentration in the intercellular space, the period of sexual intercourse before ejaculation is extended. This effect is achieved by taking drugs based on a substance that prevents the reuptake of serotonin by cell receptors.
The tool is suitable for men with erectile dysfunction, expressed in premature ejaculation. With uncontrolled intake, decreased libido and difficulty reaching orgasm are possible.
alpha blockers
The action of the drugs in this group is to block the impulses that narrow the capillaries. There are two types of medications used to treat erectile dysfunction:
- selective, affecting α2 adrenergic receptors, created on the basis of the natural alkaloid yohimbine. The drug dilates the arteries and also acts as an aphrodisiac, improving libido. Of the side effects, tachycardia, indigestion and excessive anxiety are occasionally recorded;
- not selective. Effective for violations of peripheral blood supply. With a course of admission, a negative reaction in the form of allergies, dizziness, swelling of the nasal mucosa is likely.
A remedy with yohimbine is suitable not only for the treatment of impotence, but also as a prevention of low libido, as well as for increasing the general tone of the body. Non-selective drugs are prescribed by a doctor.
Dietary supplements
Natural remedies based on components of plant and animal origin can also have a stimulating effect on potency. The composition of food supplements usually includes adaptogens (substances that increase immunity), aphrodisiacs and circulatory activators. For a pronounced effect, it is desirable to take a course. The most popular representatives of this class of drugs:
- a product that includes mango fruits, nettle leaves, cinnamon, ginkgo biloba, zamaniha, garlic, American raspberries. Improves general well-being, gently stimulates potency;
- phytopreparation with creeping tribulus herb. It stimulates the synthesis of testosterone, improves the quality of sperm, has an anti-inflammatory effect;
- preparations based on dwarf palm extract and Eurycoma longifolia. The composition may also include zinc, vitamin B5, licorice root extract and ginseng. During the course of administration, the production of own testosterone is stabilized;
- Food supplement based on Chinese Cordyceps (a parasitic fungus that has aphrodisiac properties) and Eurycoma longifolia. The direction of action is a surge of sexual arousal and stimulation of testosterone production;
- Ingredients of the preparation: grass and roots of kopek tea ("bear root"). Effectively relieves inflammation of the genitourinary system, regulates hormonal levels, improves blood circulation;
- a remedy that combines a number of herbal stimulants: creeping tribulus, Eurycoma longifolia, ginkgo biloba, Chinese magnolia vine, ginseng, and water chestnut;
- actively advertised medicine based on exotic African herbs;
- remedy in which royal jelly (product of beekeeping) is added to the traditional long-leaf eurycoma and ginseng for this type of preparation.
In a separate category, Chinese dietary supplements can be distinguished:
- black ant extract and herbal ingredients;
- deer antlers, Tibetan cordyceps, yak testicles, ginseng;
- cordyceps, saffron, yak genitalia, saiga, deer.
For those who are afraid of exotics from abroad, pharmacies offer a wide selection of domestic products, for example:
- bee products: capsules with propolis, drone milk, pollen;
- based on a beaver creek;
- mummy (rectal tablets, ointments and suppositories).
Dietary supplements have an effect only if the drug is not fake and is taken correctly.
External funds
For the treatment of erectile dysfunction and the occasional increase in potency in men, topical preparations are actively used: creams, sprays, ointments in a natural or chemical way. Due to the irritating effect, there is an active rush of blood to the penis and the expansion of its vessels. The most affordable representatives of this series of stimulants - ointments with glycerol trinitrate or sulfur-containing acid glycosaminoglycans. For the treatment of the course, a safe herbal remedy with wooden tweezers in a panic is suitable.
Many positive comments are left by men about an intimate spray with a natural composition: beaver musk, red root (kopek tea), deer antlers, sainfoin (grass). There is an improvement in erection and an increase in the general quality of sexual intercourse by 2-3 times. Effective for young people with psychogenic erectile dysfunction, for couples who need to "refresh" sexual sensations. It is also suitable for idiopathic impotence, when the desire progressively disappears for no apparent reason.
Choosing a cream or spray, you should pay attention to the presence of an anesthetic in the composition. With delayed ejaculation problems, the effect of reducing the sensitivity of the head will aggravate the situation.
Home remedies
With the restoration of male power, folk remedies can also help, the use of which is sometimes more appropriate than dietary supplements - guaranteed natural raw materials and low price.
Quite strong adaptogens and potency stimulants are bee products, which are available in honey stores and beekeepers:
- perga;
- drone milk;
- propolis;
- dead bee
A tincture on a beaver stream (prianal glands) has a positive effect on libido and health. Many position it as the best tool to enhance and increase vitality. You can order the tool directly from hunters through Internet sites.
To get rid of impotence will help the inclusion in the diet of honey, ginger, dried garlic, parsley, celery, walnuts, pumpkin seeds.
Reviews
Looking at the review statistics, the leader in the quality of the erection achieved is the PDE-5 inhibitor. But the same remedy causes serious side effects in some: men often complain of headaches and blurred vision. To play it safe, many use transdermals, the most popular of which is a spray with beaver musk, red root, deer antlers, and sainfoin.
Most men are skeptical about dietary supplements. According to the results of the surveys, the drug with eurycoma root and ginseng turned out to be the most effective.
Folk remedies do not give an effect as quickly as medical ones, they are often difficult to prepare, therefore they are popular mainly among the older generation of men. Drone milk and beaver creek have earned the most trust.
When using this or that drug, it is important to monitor not only the dynamics of potency, but also the reaction of the body. Even the remedies prescribed by the doctor are not always suitable. As for the consolidation of the effect: if the erectile function is impaired, then it should be returned with an integrated approach - folk drugs and recipes, along with lifestyle correction.
