Men play an important role in life, and family and work are the main forces. But the emergence of andrology diseases has made these hard-blooded men lose their due courage. Impotence is a relatively common dysfunction and also a multiple disease in andrology. What is impotence?
Impotence, also known as erectile dysfunction (ED) in the past, refers to the inability of the penis to continue to fully erect and maintain satisfactory sexual intercourse in the past three months. ED is one of the most common male dysfunction. Although ED is not a life-threatening disease, it is closely related to the patient's quality of life, sexual partnership, and family stability, and is also an early warning signal of many physical diseases.
The occurrence of erectile dysfunction is not only affected by age, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hyperlipidemia and other physical diseases, as well as psychological and environmental factors such as sexual partnership, home status, and other psychological and environmental factors. Bad living habits, drugs, surgery, race, culture, religion, and socio-economic factors are also related to the occurrence of erectile dysfunction.
According to current research, age is the strongest independent factor among the risk factors related to impotence. With the growth of age, the obvious decrease of serum androgen level may be the direct reason, but the obvious relationship between the decrease of serum free testosterone and ED has not been studied. In addition, with the increase of age, the structure of penile tunica albuginea and corpus cavernosum has changed, the ability of venous blood return has decreased, and the prevalence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, hypertension, diabetes and other diseases has increased. When these diseases are treated, penile erectile function has been damaged, and this tendency also increases with age.
Although impotence does not threaten life, it has a significant impact on the quality of life. A considerable number of patients with impotence have cardiovascular diseases. Sexual activity is an exciting physical activity. Some patients with cardiovascular diseases may not be able to do it. Therefore, when treating impotence, patients with cardiovascular diseases should be carefully evaluated and treated by experts in advance.
