I am 45 years old this year, and I have no other physical discomfort except for a high blood pressure found in a physical examination three years ago, which was later diagnosed as hypertension. "However, in the past six months or more, I have always felt inadequate in my husband and wife's life. About three or four times out of ten times, I have not been able to achieve satisfaction, and even at other times, it is difficult to maintain an erection. I am only 40 years old, and it should not be the time for" no ". I felt uncomfortable so I went to the hospital for an examination. After understanding my situation in detail, the doctor determined that it was related to the antihypertensive drugs I changed more than six months ago,", It is recommended that I seek medical advice from an experienced doctor for treating hypertension to adjust my medication. At the same time, doctors say that high blood pressure can also affect male sexual function decline, such as decreased libido, decreased erectile function, decreased ejaculation function, etc. They want me to pay attention to controlling blood pressure in my life. Why does high blood pressure also affect men?
It has been found in clinical practice that hypertension can indeed affect sexual function decline. Analyzing the causes may be related to three factors. The first is drug related factors. Some people believe that about 2/3 of people with hypertension and sexual dysfunction are caused by taking antihypertensive drugs; The second factor is mental and neurological factors. Patients with hypertension who have high blood pressure for a long time can cause discomfort in the brain or other body parts, especially if the spirit is highly concerned about blood pressure issues, and if the spirit is relatively depressed, it will reduce the interest of hypertensive patients in sexual life; Finally, there are organic factors. High blood pressure causes stenosis of the small artery lumen, which accelerates the process of arteriosclerosis. In the long term, this condition can cause hyperplasia of the intima of the penis artery, even formation of plaque, affecting the supply of blood flow to the penis artery, and can also make hypertensive patients feel inadequate. According to clinical data, ultrasound of penile blood vessels in patients with simple hypertension shows that about 83% of patients have vascular endothelial plaques.
