What is erectile dysfunction?
The modern medical term "erectile dysfunction" is used to define sexual deviations associated with erectile dysfunction. Previously, it was more common to use the definition of "impotence", which directly means "the inability to perform certain actions". Today, both terms are used when a patient consults and talks to a doctor about potency enhancement. What is erectile dysfunction?
erectile dysfunctionpartial or complete inability to achieve or maintain an erection necessary for successful sexual intercourse. Typically, impotence is diagnosed when a man is unable to maintain an erection for more than 25% of the sexual acts he attempts.
Prevalence of erectile dysfunction
According to numerous studies, erectile dysfunction is a widespread disease. And in all cases, impotence leads to a decrease in the patient's quality of life. According to statistics, more than 30% of men from 18 to 59 years of age have erectile dysfunction and the need to increase potency.
The global situation is as follows: more than 150 million men over the age of 40 suffer from erectile dysfunction today, and the potential needs to be increased. According to experts from the US National Institutes of Health, their number may more than double by 2025. Such negative trends are explained by the increase in risk factors for the development of erectile dysfunction, including diabetes and widespread cardiovascular diseases.
Diagnosis of erectile dysfunction
As a rule, the doctor learns about the patient's erectile function problems during the initial conversation with him. There is also a special medical questionnaire to identify sexual dysfunctions and early signs of impotence - the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5).
Like any other disease, it is easier and more effective to treat impotence in the initial stage. It is important not only to diagnose "erectile dysfunction", but to determine the cause of the disorders in order to develop a course aimed at increasing potency.
Diagnosis of impotence in the early stages consists of collecting somatic and psychological anamnesis. It is necessary to determine which of the mechanisms that ensure the occurrence of erection is disturbed. To prepare a course to restore potency, it is first necessary to conduct a blood test for hormones, and in some cases, it is necessary to conduct samples and tests of the cardiovascular system. Timely professional diagnosis is the key to successful treatment of impotence.
Unfortunately, modern medicine pays little attention to the interdependence of nervous system disorders and erectile dysfunction symptoms. The main reason is that effective methods for assessing the "neurogenic" component of erection have not yet been developed. Neurogenic impotence is the result of dysfunctions accompanied by damage to the structures of the central and peripheral nervous system. We have prepared a neurogenic erectile dysfunction diagnosis for the patients of our clinic using the Kalinchenko-Rojivanov method. Common causes of this type of impotence include diabetes, alcohol consumption and smoking, as well as long-term use of certain medications. The diagnosis of neurogenic disorders is the main stage of the examination for the development of a course aimed at increasing capacity.
Mechanism of weakening of erection
It was established that impotence is not an independent disease, but a diagnostic sign. Thus, sexual dysfunction may indicate more serious health problems that require more than just increased potency.
Erectile dysfunction is not only a consequence, but in many cases it can be a precursor of serious cardiovascular diseases. According to research, 64% of men hospitalized with a first myocardial infarction suffered from erectile dysfunction within 3 years.
The main causes of impotence include:
- psychological disorders;
- neurological disorders;
- problems with the endocrine system (low testosterone level);
- cardiovascular disorders;
- anatomical defects of the penis.
In most cases, impotence develops as a result of the influence of a complex of these factors.
If we consider the mechanism of erection, we can be sure that it is a complex neurovascular-hormonal reaction. Improvement of potency occurs when ensuring the coordinated functioning of all these systems - cardiovascular, endocrine and nervous system, if there are no anatomical defects of the penis.
The picture shows that the failure of at least one of the relationships to ensure full erectile function can lead to common potential disorders that require timely treatment.
The influence of a special component - the endocrine system - on the mechanism of the development of a disease such as erectile dysfunction is now quite fully studied. According to clinical studies, in most cases, impotence occurs due to a decrease in the level of the male hormone - testosterone. Accelerating the process of production of sex hormones is aimed at increasing potency.

"
Considering that testosterone deficiency is one of the most common causes of erectile dysfunction, androgen therapy has taken a strong place in the treatment of impotence. Carrying out replacement and stimulation therapy with testosterone drugs is aimed at normalizing the level of the male hormone and not only improves the psycho-emotional state of the man, but also ensures the restoration of potential.
In complex therapy aimed at treating erectile dysfunction in men, we use drugs that regulate vascular function and help improve nerve conduction, which affects the process of erectile recovery.
