Many male friends like to smoke a cigarette after sex, mostly because they are too tired to use smoking to relieve their physical and mental health. However, scientific research shows that long-term smoking can lead to impotence. Why on earth? What are the other factors that cause impotence?
Research found that people who smoke are more prone to impotence
Qiu Yongchao, chief physician of urology department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said in an interview earlier: "The specific causes of modern male impotence are the bad habits of sitting, smoking and drinking."
The professor of the University of Vienna in Austria also found that a person's sexual function and reproductive ability are closely related to whether he smokes or not. Research shows that people who regularly smoke, especially those who smoke more than 10 cigarettes a day, have significantly lower sexual desire than non-smokers, and have much less sex life than non-smokers. What's more, men who smoke for a long time have a high probability of sexual dysfunction. Research shows that people who smoke 18 cigarettes a day have a 36.5% chance of suffering from severe erectile dysfunction (ed). If they smoke more than 20 cigarettes, the probability of ed will rise to 50%.
Why does smoking cause impotence?
First, the main ingredient in tobacco is nicotine, which has a strong stimulating effect on the nervous system. If you smoke a lot for a long time, you will increase the excitement of the nervous system. Excessive sexual excitement will turn to its opposite and cause inhibition. Over time, it will directly or indirectly affect the nerve regulatory center and the erectile center, so that its excitability will be reduced and impotence will occur.
Second, nicotine, carbon monoxide in tobacco, rutin protein in tar and other harmful substances can cause atherosclerosis of the penis artery, increase blood viscosity, and microcirculatory disorders, ultimately leading to narrowing and narrowing of the vascular lumen, and abnormal vein closure mechanism. When these hemodynamic processes can not be coordinated, the blood supply to the penis is significantly reduced, and eventually smoking makes the blood circulation of the penis blocked, leading to impotence.
Thirdly, the toxin in tobacco has an inhibitory effect on the synthesis of sex hormone in the leydig cells of testis. When the synthesis of androgens decreases, the content in the blood decreases, which can affect the secondary sexual characteristics of men, such as the reduction of beard and the thinning of voice, and also affect the normal sexual desire.
Fourth, the number of sperm in the semen of male smokers has also been greatly reduced due to long-term smoking, and abnormal sperm beyond the normal range has appeared. The sperm survival rate has decreased and the vitality has decreased, which is also one of the reasons for male infertility.
Therefore, if a man wants to maintain his majesty in front of the other party, he must break the habit of smoking regularly.
What else causes impotence?
1. Organic impotence: impotence caused by physical diseases, such as penis trauma, prostatitis and prostate surgery
2. Psychogenic impotence or functional impotence: normal examination but unable to erect, usually because the patient is nervous and suffering from depression.
3. Organic and psychogenic factors: the patient has physical and psychological problems, which is more serious.
