All the time, men have been facing the problem of erectile dysfunction. This insidious disease has no "age", it can even appear in young men. One of the causes of erectile dysfunction is known to be chronic prostatitis. Therefore, because the relationship between these two diseases is so close, the treatment of erectile dysfunction must be comprehensive.
What is erectile dysfunction?
The normal erectile function of men includes the ability to make an erection hard enough to penetrate the female vagina and maintain the erection long enough to complete sexual intercourse.
Erectile dysfunction refers to the inability to obtain and/or maintain a penile erection sufficient for sufficient sexual intercourse. Early symptoms are morning erection, premature ejaculation and lack of interest in sexual activity. As we all know, smoking, drug abuse and alcoholism play an important role in this problem. The risk of erectile dysfunction increases with comorbidities (such as type 2 diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and dyslipidemia). However, the most common cause of erectile dysfunction is infectious diseases, first of all prostatitis.
What is prostatitis
Prostatitis is an inflammatory disease of the prostate. It affects all men: people who are monogamous or polygamous, even virgins. Prostatitis is a very common pathology of the genitourinary system. The serious consequences of this disease can be called erectile dysfunction-many men mistakenly associate "failure" in sex with work stress, fatigue and lack of sleep. But modern research shows that infectious diseases such as prostatitis are usually the cause of sexual discomfort, which helps urologists and andrologists.
The main symptoms of prostatitis
- Frequent urination.
- Feeling of incomplete bladder emptying.
- Stretching pain and discomfort in the waist, lower abdomen and perineum.
- White or green discharge from the urethra.
- The anus is painful and heavy.
- Reduced libido and potency.
What is the connection between prostate inflammation and efficacy?
If the endothelial cells of the blood vessels of the penis are damaged by exposure to chronic diseases and toxins, this will lead to a decrease in erections.
However, there is another argument: most doctors believe that the sexual diseases of prostatitis are usually psychological in nature. Continuous severe pain can lead to increased depression and anxiety, unpleasant symptoms and chronic pain syndrome not only affect people's overall well-being, but also affect a person's mood, bringing him pressure and discomfort. Nevertheless, most modern urologists hold the same view: the cause of erectile dysfunction is the organic damage of internal organs.
The importance of the prostate in the erection process
From the perspective of normal physiology, erection is due to complex neurovascular mechanisms. In addition to molecular, vascular, psychological and endocrine factors, it also involves several central and peripheral nerve mechanisms. The balance between them ultimately determines the function of the penis.
Erection is not a mechanical behavior and can be used as a hydraulic jack at any time. This is a delicate physiological process that starts with the stimulus that the brain perceives, and then comes from visual perception, smell, sensation or touch.
A person’s sensitivity to this sexual stimulation depends to a large extent not only on his level of the hormone testosterone, but also on its conversion into the active metabolite dihydrotestosterone, which is in a form called alpha reductase. Formed in a healthy prostate under the influence of the enzymes. Moreover, if there is a problem with the prostate, correspondingly, there will be problems with metabolites, which will cause difficulties during sexual intercourse along the chain.
Restore potency and treat prostate damage
If erectile dysfunction is present in the context of infection, then no medicine here will help: it is necessary to eliminate the underlying cause. Like any infection, bacterial prostatitis requires antibiotic treatment. However, it is very difficult and sometimes impossible for antibiotics to produce the necessary drug concentration in the prostate at the focal point of the infection. This is due to inflammation and swelling of the prostate, which significantly reduces the blood supply. Only complex treatments are effective-a combination of drugs and physical therapy can improve the blood supply to the prostate and reduce its swelling. Doctors can prescribe courses such as external magnetic stimulation, vibration magnetic excitation massage, sinusoidal modulation current, shock wave therapy, and ozone therapy. If the doctor prescribes the correct treatment, and the person follows all appointments and recommendations, then with the elimination of prostatitis, the aggression in sex will disappear without a trace.
prevention
- Regular sex life (this is a purely personal problem, but not more than 30 years old, the frequency of sexual intercourse 2-3 times a week is considered normal).
- Observe hygiene regulations during sexual intercourse.
- healthy lifestyle.
- Rule out injuries and hypothermia.
- Regular urological examinations (at least once a year for men over 40).
A person’s recommended lifestyle should include regular exercise, adequate sleep, smoking cessation, a balanced diet (with emphasis on Mediterranean food) and moderate alcohol consumption.
In order to feel masculinity for as long as possible and maintain a high quality of life, when the first unpleasant symptoms appear, do not delay seeing a qualified urologist and andrologist. Receive a comprehensive urological examination, get accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.
