Can drinking lead to impotence in men? What is the cause of impotence caused by alcohol

In traditional Chinese culture, wine is essential, but drinking should be moderate. A moderate amount of alcohol does help to excite, but excessive drinking will cause great harm to the body. Excessive drinking not only has no effect on promoting mood and desire, but also is an advanced central nervous system inhibitor, and even leads to impotence, premature ejaculation and other sexual dysfunction.

Reasons for alcohol impotence:

1. Effect on sex hormone metabolism:

The data shows that after drinking more alcohol, the amount of testosterone in the blood will decrease. On the one hand, alcohol directly blocks the production of testosterone. On the other hand, due to alcohol stimulation, the liver will accelerate the treatment of testosterone, and many testosterone will be decomposed and converted into other substances. In addition, people who drink alcohol for a long time will inevitably have alcoholic cirrhosis to a certain extent. Although the therapeutic ability of testosterone will be weakened, the level of estrogen in the body will rise. In short, the decrease of testosterone or the increase of estrogen will lead to erectile dysfunction.

Effects on nervous system:

Drinking alcohol will stimulate the cerebral cortex temporarily, but it will soon become inhibited. If you make love in a hurry in this brief state of excitement, you will be too excited, reckless, rude, or even lose your temper. Your sexual ability is easy to deviate, and it is also easy to cause accusations from your spouse. This is usually caused by the bad mental and psychological state of ed. If sexual intercourse is from excitement to inhibition, impotence is more reasonable, because the control nervous system is in inhibition.

Effects on vascular system:

Just after drinking, people will feel feverish and blush. Because a large amount of blood is concentrated in the blood vessels of the brain and skin at this time, if sexual behavior occurs at this time, the sexual organs immediately need a large amount of blood, and there will be a shortage of supply. How can the penis erect well? When the fever and facial dizziness subside, a large amount of blood will accumulate in the internal organs, but people will feel cold, so they have sex, and the sexual organs still cannot get the ideal blood supply.

4. Impact on the overall physical condition:

People who drink alcohol for a long time or often get drunk will show emaciation, fatigue and loss of appetite, especially after alcohol stimulates gastrointestinal mucosa, which will seriously hinder digestive function and lead to a decline in nutritional level. Therefore, the overall physical fitness is getting worse, and the sexual ability will also decline. It is not surprising that erectile function is abnormal.
