What can elderly people do with erectile dysfunction? With the increasing age, the incidence rate of impotence is also rising. The elderly are more likely to induce impotence and affect their health. What is the cause of organic erectile dysfunction in the elderly?
With the growth of age, the incidence rate of impotence in the elderly is higher. According to the relevant data report dao, the incidence rate of the elderly over 70 years old is about 30%. The organic factors of erectile dysfunction in the elderly have significantly increased. In addition to a significant decrease in the frequency of sexual activity, the quality of sexual life (sexual interest) of the elderly has also significantly decreased. The causes of Sexual dysfunction include physiological and psychological impotence, functional impotence and organic impotence. Organic impotence can be divided into direct and indirect causes.
The etiology of organic erectile dysfunction: ① Decreased levels of sexual hormone secretion in the genital organs: Human sexual hormone levels directly affect sexual desire and function, and plasma testosterone levels decrease with age. ② Vascular occlusion disease: because the elderly are prone to Atherosclerosis, such as Arteriosclerosis, which mainly involves slander of the blue vein or the yin artery, the dorsal penile artery and the deep penile artery will be ischemic and hypoxic, leading to intimal hyperplasia, fibrosis or calcification, lumen stenosis aggravates vascular embolic disease, and the penis sponge will shrink. ③ Venous drainage disorder: because the Cavernous tissue is excessively drained by the vein, such as congenital or iatrogenic fistula between the Corpus cavernosum penis and the glans, the white membrane venous malformation cannot maintain the penis erection. ④ Arteriovenous fistula: due to the short circuit of the penile artery and vein, the Corpus cavernosum penis sinus cannot be filled, resulting in organic impotence.
Causes of organic impotence: ① diabetes: the incidence rate of impotence in diabetes patients is 2-5 times that in normal people. According to statistics, nearly 60% of diabetes patients have impotence, but their clinical manifestations are different. The exact reason is not yet clear and is generally believed to be related to the following reasons. After the occurrence of diabetes, the autonomic nerve fibers may swell and burst, and the air foam and the diameter of the axon may change. Neuropathology also found that the blood vessels supplying autonomic nerves in diabetes patients had pathological changes, which affected the nutrition supply of nerves. Therefore, the neurological reflex function decreases, leading to impotence Cardio cerebral Vascular disease: In recent years, the incidence rate of cardio cerebral Vascular disease has increased significantly, and the risk factors leading to cardio cerebral Vascular disease mainly include hyperlipidemia, diabetes and hypertension. These diseases are closely related to people's poor lifestyle, such as consuming too much fat, not liking exercise, smoking heavily, drinking excessively, and long-term mental stress. These factors are currently considered risk factors for coronary heart disease. Patients with coronary heart disease, one of which is psychological factors, believe that life and sexual activity are naturally impossible to discuss, and over time, impotence; Second, these risk factors will damage the whole body's blood vessels, vascular endothelial cell proliferation, lipid deposition, plaque rupture, platelet aggregation, Atherosclerosis and lumen stenosis, yin artery insufficiency and impotence.
