"Sexual relations are not only a biological function necessary for procreation, but also the most important part of life, a source of joy and love. "
What is erectile dysfunction?
To define sexual deviations associated with erectile dysfunction, the modern medical term "erectile dysfunction" is used. Previously, it was more common to use the definition of "impotence", the direct meaning of which is "the inability to perform certain actions. "Nowadays, when a patient consults a doctor to solve the problem of increased potency and has a conversation, both terms are used. What is erectile dysfunction?
erectile dysfunctionIt is a partial or total inability to achieve or maintain an erection necessary for successful sexual intercourse. Typically, a diagnosis of impotence is made when a man is unable to maintain an erection in more than 25% of the sexual acts he attempts.
Prevalence of erectile dysfunction
According to numerous studies, erectile dysfunction is a very widespread disease. And in all cases, impotence leads to a decrease in the patient's quality of life. According to statistics, more than 30% of men between 18 and 59 years old suffer from erectile dysfunction and the need to increase potency.
The world situation is as follows: today more than 150 million men over 40 years of age suffer from erectile dysfunction and need to increase potency. According to experts at the US National Institutes of Health, by 2025 their number could more than double. These negative trends are explained by an increase in risk factors for the development of erectile dysfunction, including diabetes mellitus and generalized cardiovascular diseases.
Diagnosis of erectile dysfunction.
As a rule, the doctor learns about the patient's erectile function problems during the initial conversation with him. There is also a special medical questionnaire to identify sexual dysfunctions and initial symptoms of impotence - the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5).
Like any other disease, it is easier and more effective to treat impotence at the initial stage. It is important not only to establish a diagnosis of "erectile dysfunction", but also to identify the cause of the disorders in order to develop treatment aimed at increasing potency.
Diagnosing impotence in the early stages involves collecting a somatic and psychological history. It is necessary to establish which of the mechanisms that ensure the appearance of an erection is altered. To develop a course to restore potency, you must first take a blood test for hormones and, in some cases, perform sampling and testing of the cardiovascular system. Timely professional diagnosis is the key to successful treatment of impotence.
Unfortunately, modern medicine pays little attention to the issue of interdependence between disorders of the nervous system and the symptoms of erectile dysfunction. The main reason is that effective methods for assessing the so-called "neurogenic" component of the erection have not yet been developed. Neurogenic impotence is a consequence of dysfunctions accompanied by damage to the structures of the central and peripheral nervous system. For patients of our clinic, we have developed a diagnosis of neurogenic erectile dysfunction using the Kalinchenko-Rozhivanov method. Common causes of this type of impotence include diabetes, alcohol consumption and smoking, as well as long-term use of certain medications. Diagnosis of neurogenic disorders is a fundamental stage of the examination in developing a course aimed at increasing potency.
The mechanism of weakening of the erection.
It has been established that impotence is not an independent disease, but a diagnostic symptom. Therefore, sexual dysfunction may indicate more serious health problems that require more than just an increase in potency.
Erectile dysfunction can be not only a consequence, but in many cases a harbinger of serious cardiovascular diseases. According to research, 64% of men hospitalized for a first heart attack suffered from erectile dysfunction over a 3-year period.
The main causes of impotence include:
- psychological disorders;
- neurological disorders;
- problems with the endocrine system (low testosterone levels);
- Cardiovascular disorders;
- Anatomical defects of the penis.
In most cases, impotence develops due to the influence of a complex of these factors.
Taking into account the mechanism of erection, we can be convinced that this is a complex neurovascular-hormonal reaction. The improvement in potency occurs by guaranteeing the coordinated functioning of all these systems: cardiovascular, endocrine and nervous, as long as there are no anatomical defects of the penis.
The figure shows that the appearance of failures in at least one of the links to ensure complete erectile function can cause general potency disorders that require timely treatment.
The influence of a special component, the endocrine system, on the mechanism of development of a disease such as erectile dysfunction has been widely studied today. According to clinical studies, in most cases impotence occurs due to a decrease in the level of the male hormone testosterone. Accelerating the production process of sex hormones is aimed at increasing potency.
Treatment of erectile dysfunction: increase libido and restore potency.
Praktik Medical Center specializes in the comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of erectile dysfunction in men. More than 12, 000 men have undergone the treatment and in all cases we have been able to achieve a complete restoration or significant improvement in male potency. That is why the specialists of our clinic can not only promise our patients a positive result in the treatment of impotence, but also guarantee it.
The process of treating sexual dysfunction and restoring erection involves taking into account a complex of factors. To increase potency, first of all, it is necessary to change your lifestyle, namely: giving up bad habits, proper nutrition, getting rid of excess weight, increasing the level of physical activity and abolishing (if possible) medications that negatively affect sexual function.
Means and preparations for the treatment of potency.
Modern manufacturing companies, pharmacies and even the media offer a wide range of different drugs, called "drugs for the treatment of impotence", "drugs for increasing potency", etc. It should be understood that prescribing drugs that improve potency and restore erection can only be done by a professional doctor. It is difficult for a person without medical education to distinguish between real drugs that have undergone clinical trials and ineffective dietary supplements with unstudied effects, often advertised on radio and television as "potency-enhancing drugs. "
Considering that one of the most common causes of erectile dysfunction is testosterone deficiency, androgen therapy has occupied an important place in the treatment of impotence. Replacement and stimulation therapy with testosterone drugs is aimed at normalizing the level of the male hormone and leads not only to an improvement in the psycho-emotional state of the man, but also ensures the restoration of potency.
In a complex therapy aimed at treating erectile dysfunction in men, we use drugs that regulate vascular function and help improve nerve conduction, which affects the process of restoration of the erection.
Treatment of psychogenic impotence is carried out with the participation of a psychologist. Erectile dysfunction of a psychogenic nature is a consequence of the patient's increased anxiety and depression, conflicts between couples and other psychological disorders. An experienced specialist conducts a course of psychotherapy aimed at increasing potency.
The modern clinic employs highly professional specialists. We have all the modern equipment necessary for the diagnosis and treatment of impotence. Start treating sexual disorders with a visit to an endocrinologist-andrologist and you will be convinced that in 98% of cases erectile dysfunction is completely curable.
