As we all know, smoking is harmful to health, but smoking can also cause erectile dysfunction (ED), which is not known.
At present, countless studies have confirmed that the proportion of smokers among ED patients is significantly higher than that of normal people in the same age.The more smoke sucks, the higher the ratio of ED.Modern medicine believes that smoking induces ED mainly through the following two methods:
1. Acute damage
Some experimental studies have found that after a large amount of smoking in adult male dogs, it can stimulate the nerves of the penis sponge, resulting in not erection, and the blood flow of the penis is significantly lower than the level before smoking.Studies believe that the acute damage to the erectile function of this large amount of smoking is mainly because nicotine directly stimulates the sympathetic nerves in the human body and produces many adrenaline and norepinephrine. These two substances will cause the smooth muscle in the penis sponge to shrink, resulting in the contractionThe penis could not be congested, and ED followed.
Second, chronic damage
This refers to the damage to the erectile function caused by long -term smoking, which slowly occurred and eventually developed to ED.Chronic damage mainly involves three influences:
(1) Impact on the supply of penile blood: After long -term smoking, the arteries of the blood of the penis, especially the directly -related genital arteries and penile sponge arteries, can be hardened and narrow, which can significantly reduce the number of blood supply to the penis.Blood source, the penis cannot be erected.It is also confirmed that the phenomenon of reduction of penile blood supply to smoke is mainly manifested in the decline in the compression pressure of the penile arteries, the lower blood flow rate of the arteries during erection, and the loss of the hardness of the erectile.
(2) Effect on penile nerve control: As the forever, long -term smoking can also stimulate the sympathetic nerve, produce excessive adrenaline and norepinephrine, causing ED.Modern medicine has stated that the penile erection requires the nerve transmission of nerve peripherals to play a role, allowing the penis sponge body to relax and the penis is congested.Among the many neurotransmitters, a substantiveness called nitric oxide (NO) has the greatest effect on promoting penile erections.Studies have confirmed that after the long -term smoking, the NO content in the penis sponge will be significantly reduced, resulting in ED.
(3) Impact on the level of sex hormone required to ensure penile erection: Experiments have found that after long -term inhalation of cigarette smoke, the body's testosterone level decreases.It was confirmed that the cause of reduced testosterone was mainly because the toxic substances in cigarettes destroyed the interstitial cells in the testicular of testosterone. Once the testosterone was lacking, the penis erection lacked the driving force.
Commonly used treatment
1. Psychotherapy: Psychological diagnosis and treatment cannot be ignored in normal times, because some people who have impotence are caused by poor psychology and spirit.Therefore, the patient's psychology must be analyzed, a certain method, or a hint, or transfer, etc., to correct some wrong sexual concepts, eliminate the anxiety of people who have impotence, and achieve the specific effect of preliminary diagnosis and treatment.
2. Sexual behavior treatment: People with a lot of impotence are harmed by illness in daily life because they are caused by the discord between sexual life between husband and wife.At this time, the two couples need to participate in the diagnosis and treatment together, which can help understand the patients, and can effectively reduce the psychological pressure of the patient, thereby achieving a high curative effect.
3. Drug treatment: Drugs can effectively diagnose various diseases, and they are also often used by people who have impotence. Especially Chinese medicine and Chinese medicine are good effects on the diagnosis and treatment of this disease, but those who require impotence have always beenTake the medicine for a while.Some western medicines can cause drowsiness, so people who have impotence with symptoms such as poor sleep, anxiety, anxiety and other symptoms are better.
