Deterioration of erectile function and decreased libido is a pressing problem for modern men. The pharmaceutical industry is actively using the desire of male representatives to meet the applicable standards of intimate life, offering a large selection of different stimulants. Forgotten folk recipes are also coming back. The best tool for potency can be identified in each niche. The choice depends on the cause of sexual dysfunction and general health.
Phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors
Drugs based on type 5 phosphodiesterase inhibitors (enzymes) occupy a leading position in the ranking of drugs to stimulate erection and treat impotence.
All drugs have the same principle of action, which is to improve erection by relaxing the walls of the arteries and blood vessels that supply the penis. The active substance blocks phosphodiesterase, which allows the release of nitric oxide from endothelial cells (the inner layer of blood vessels responsible for their contraction dynamics). As a result, the smooth muscles of the blood vessels relax and their lumen increases.
Phosphodiesterase inhibitors work only with sexual stimulation during arousal.
These drugs are considered the most effective remedy for impotence. Since the enzyme to which its activity is directed is located only in the penis, side effects are likely:
- Headache;
- dizziness, blurred vision;
- dyspeptic disorders;
- increase in pressure;
- muscle pain;
- swelling of the nasal mucosa.
According to statistics, the most adverse effects of the drug, the effect is limited to 6 hours, the smallest - in a drug with a duration of 10 hours. The latter drug is the mildest for the retina. The longest action of the drug in this group is 36 hours.
Only one drug has a short absorption time, the first effect is felt after 15 minutes. For other funds, the waiting period for activities starts from an hour and a half.
It should be noted that the duration of action of tablets is directly proportional to the duration of possible side effects.
Studies have shown that 89% of the total number of men in the experiment had the highest erection, thanks to the popular PDE-5 inhibitor, which has the strongest effect on increasing penile elasticity. The ability to have full sexual intercourse has increased 20 times.
NO synthase activators
NO synthase is an enzyme that produces nitric oxide. The more active the gas production, the more effectively the smooth muscles of the arteries relax. Purified antibodies against this enzyme have the ability to stimulate NO-synthase activity. Based on them, a drug that does not affect the heart rate and does not cause associated side effects was created. It can be taken in old age, as well as against the background of cardiovascular pathology.
The remedy is a homeopathic remedy. It is taken in a 12-week course to correct erectile function caused by vascular disorders and age-related changes. At the end of treatment, the effect lasts for six months.
Hormonal agents
Testosterone deficiency is one of the main causes of impaired potency. The level of this hormone can be determined by a blood test. However, even if there is a deficiency, it is strictly forbidden to take drugs to raise testosterone alone.
Doctors prescribe the following means to correct hormonal levels:
- patch with testosterone (allergic skin reactions are likely);
- gel containing testosterone. Hormones penetrate the body transdermally, their levels are maintained for 4 days;
- oral capsules containing androgens. The active substance is rapidly absorbed and excreted;
- testosterone injections. Fast-release forms (testosterone cypionate) have a shorter effect, slow-release forms (testosterone unedecanoate) are effective for 3 months;
- form of implant implanted under the skin (rejection, allergic reactions are possible).
Treatment with such drugs is carried out under the strict supervision of a physician, as most of them are toxic to the liver. Severe consequences (eg, testicular atrophy) are possible in case of overdose.
Prostaglandin E1 analogues
Prostaglandins are a group of active substances that are actively involved in metabolic processes. They are formed from fatty acids in the body's cells. Prostaglandin E1 controls the contraction of vascular smooth muscle tissue, affects the synthesis of hormones and regulates the activity of the nervous system. An artificial substitute for this substance helps to improve erection by relaxing the walls of blood vessels and the cavernous bodies of the penis. It is applied transurethrally or intracavernously.
The drugs are effective in neurogenic, psychogenic, vascular types of erectile dysfunction. After application, the effect occurs within 5-10 minutes and lasts about 3 hours.
Adverse reactions:
- hematomas, fibrosis;
- pain in the penis and testicles;
- increase in pressure;
- Headache;
- vascular disorders.
Dosage selection is carried out by a physician in an outpatient setting.
Serotonin reuptake inhibitors
Serotonin is not only a "joy hormone", but also a neurotransmitter that regulates the process of arousal and erection. As the concentration in the intercellular space increases, the duration of sexual intercourse before ejaculation increases. This effect is achieved by taking a drug based on a substance that prevents the return of serotonin by cell receptors.
The tool is suitable for men with erectile dysfunction expressed by premature ejaculation. With uncontrolled intake, it is possible to reduce libido and have difficulty reaching orgasm.
Alpha blockers
The action of drugs in this group is to block impulses that constrict capillaries. Two types of medications are used to treat erectile dysfunction:
- selective acting on α2-adrenergic receptors based on the natural alkaloid yohimbine. The drug dilates blood vessels, as well as acts as an aphrodisiac, improving libido. Side effects include tachycardia, indigestion, and extreme anxiety;
- non-selective. It is effective for disruption of peripheral blood supply. With the course of reception, there is a possibility of adverse reactions in the form of allergies, dizziness, swelling of the nasal mucosa.
A remedy with yohimbine is suitable not only for the treatment of impotence, but also to prevent a decrease in libido, as well as to increase the overall tone of the body. Non-selective drugs are prescribed by a doctor.
dietary supplements
Natural remedies based on plant and animal ingredients can also have a stimulating effect on the potential. Dietary supplements usually contain adaptogens (substances that increase immunity), aphrodisiacs and circulatory activators. It is recommended to take a course for a clear effect. The most popular representatives of this class of drugs:
- Product containing mango fruits, nettle leaves, cinnamon, ginkgo biloba, zamaniha, garlic, American raspberry. Improves overall well-being, gently stimulates potential;
- phytopreparation with creeping tribulus herbs. Stimulates testosterone synthesis, improves sperm quality, has anti-inflammatory effect;
- preparations based on dwarf palm and Eurycoma longifolia extract. The composition may include zinc, vitamin B5, licorice root extract and ginseng. Your testosterone production stabilizes during administration;
- A food supplement based on Chinese Cordyceps (a parasitic fungus that exhibits aphrodisiac properties) and Eurycoma longifolia. The direction of action is to increase sexual arousal and stimulate testosterone production;
- Ingredients of the drug: tea leaves ("bear root") herbs and roots. Effectively eliminates inflammation of the genitourinary system, regulates hormonal levels, improves blood circulation;
- a means of combining a number of herbal stimulants: reptile tribulus, Eurycoma longifolia, ginkgo biloba, Chinese magnolia vine, ginseng and water chestnut;
- actively advertised medicine based on exotic African herbs;
- bee's milk (bee product) is a remedy with the addition of ginseng for traditional long-leaved eurycoma and such preparations.
Chinese dietary supplements can be distinguished in a separate category:
- extract from black ants and plant substances;
- deer antlers, Tibetan cordyceps, yak testicles, ginseng;
- cordyceps, saffron, yak, saiga, deer genitals.
For those who are afraid of foreign exotics, pharmacies offer a wide selection of local products, for example:
- bee products: propolis capsules, drone milk, pollen;
- based on beaver flow;
- mummy (tablets, ointments and rectal suppositories).
Dietary supplements are not only counterfeit and work when taken correctly.
Foreign funds
Topical drugs are actively used to treat erectile dysfunction and accidental increase in potency in men: creams, sprays, ointments on a natural or chemical basis. Due to the irritating effect, there is active blood flow to the penis and dilation of its vessels. The most suitable representatives of this stimulating series: ointments with glycerin trinitrate or glycosaminoglycan with acid sulfur. A safe herbal remedy with panic wood pliers is suitable for the treatment of the course.
Men leave a lot of positive reviews about the intimate spray with natural ingredients: beaver musk, red root (a penny), deer antlers, esphorus (grass). There is an improvement in erection and an increase in the overall quality of sexual intercourse by 2-3 times. It is effective for young people with psychogenic erectile dysfunction, for couples who need to "refresh" their sexual feelings. It is also suitable for idiopathic impotence when desire disappears continuously for no apparent reason.
When choosing a cream or spray, you should pay attention to the presence of anesthetics. The effect of reducing the sensitivity of the head with delayed ejaculation problems will aggravate the situation.
Folk remedies
Folk remedies can also help with the restoration of male strength, the use of which is sometimes more appropriate than dietary supplements: guaranteed natural raw materials and low cost.
Sufficiently strong adaptogens and potential stimulants are bee products available in honey shops and beekeepers:
- perqa;
- unmanned milk;
- propolis;
- dead bee
A tincture over a beaver stream (prianal glands) has a positive effect on libido and health. Many present it as the best tool to increase potential and vitality. You can order the tool directly from hunters through Internet sites.
Inclusion of honey, ginger, dried garlic, parsley, celery, nuts, pumpkin seeds in the diet will help to get rid of impotence.
Reviews
In terms of vision statistics, PDE-5 inhibitor is a leader in the quality of erections obtained. However, the same remedy causes serious side effects in some people: men often complain of headaches and blurred vision. To be safe, many use transdermal agents, the most popular of which are sprays with beaver musk, red root, deer antlers and safflower.
Most men are skeptical of dietary supplements. According to the results of the survey, the drug with eurycoma and ginseng root was the most effective.
Folk remedies do not have the same effect as medical ones, they are often difficult to prepare, so they are popular mainly among the older generation of men. Drone milk and beaver flow gained the greatest confidence.
When using this or that drug, it is important to monitor not only the dynamics of the potential, but also the reaction of the body. Even the means prescribed by a doctor are not always appropriate. As for the consolidation of the effect: if erectile function is impaired, it should be returned with an integrated approach - medications and folk recipes, along with lifestyle adjustments.
