"Sexual relationships are not only a biological function necessary for reproduction, but also the most important part of life, a source of joy and love. "
What is erectile dysfunction?
To define sexual deviations associated with erectile dysfunction, the term "erectile dysfunction" is used in modern medicine. Previously, the definition of "impotence" was used rather, the direct meaning of which means "the inability to perform certain actions. " If todayWhen a patient visits a doctor to solve the problem of increasing potency and has a conversation, both terms are used. What is erectile dysfunction?
erectile dysfunctionis the partial or complete inability to achieve or maintain an erection necessary for successful sexual intercourse. Typically, a diagnosis of impotence is made 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 deterioration in the patient's quality of life. According to statistics, more than 30% of men aged 18 to 59 suffer from erectile dysfunction and the need to increase potency.
The global situation is as follows: today more than 150 million men over 40 years old suffer from erectile dysfunction and need to increase their potency. According to experts at the US National Institutes of Health, their number could more than double by 2025. Such negative trends are explained by an increase in risk factors for the development of erectile dysfunction, including diabetes mellitus and widespread cardiovascular diseases.
Diagnosis of erectile dysfunction
As a rule, the doctor finds out about the patient's erection problems during the initial consultation. In addition, there is a special medical questionnaire to detect sexual dysfunction and the first symptoms of impotence - the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5).
As with any other disease, it is easier and more effective to treat impotence in the early stages. It is important not only to make a diagnosis of "erectile dysfunction", but also to identify the cause of the disorders in order to develop a course to increase potency.
Diagnosis of early stage impotence requires taking a somatic and psychological history. It is necessary to determine which of the mechanisms ensuring the occurrence of an erection is disrupted. To develop a course to restore potency, you must first take a blood test for hormones, and in some cases take 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 issue of interdependence of nervous system disorders and the symptoms of erectile dysfunction. The main reason is that effective methods for assessing the so-called "neurogenic" component of erection have not yet been developed. Neurogenic impotence is a consequence of functional disorders accompanied by damage to the structures of the central and peripheral nervous system. For patients of our clinic we havedeveloped a diagnosis of neurogenic erectile dysfunction using the Kalinchenko-Rozhivanov method. The most 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 a fundamental investigative step in the development of a course ofIncrease potency.
The mechanism of weakening of erection
It has been established that impotence is not an independent disease, but a diagnostic symptom. Therefore, sexual dysfunction may indicate more serious health problems that require more than just increasing potency.
Erectile dysfunction can not only be a consequence, but in many cases also a harbinger of serious cardiovascular diseases. According to research, 64% of men hospitalized with a first myocardial infarction suffered from erectile dysfunction over a three-year period.
The main causes of impotence include:
- mental disorders;
- neurological disorders;
- problems with the endocrine system (low testosterone levels);
- cardiovascular diseases;
- anatomical defects of the penis.
In most cases, impotence arises due to the influence of a complex of these factors.
If we look at the mechanism of erection, we can assume that it is a complex neurovascular-hormonal reaction. An improvement in potency occurs when the coordinated functioning of all these systems - cardiovascular, hormonal and nervous - is ensured, provided there are no anatomical defects of the penis.
The figure shows that the occurrence of disorders in at least one of the limbs in ensuring full erectile function can lead to general potency disorders that require timely treatment.
The influence of a special component - the endocrine system - on the mechanism of development of a disease such as erectile dysfunction has now been fully investigated. According to clinical studies, in most cases, impotence arises due to a decrease in the level of the male hormone testosterone. Accelerating the production of sex hormones is aimed at increasing potency.

When treating sexual dysfunction and restoring erection, a number of factors must be taken into account. To increase potency, it is first necessary to change your lifestyle, namely: give up bad habits, eat right, get rid of excess weight, increase physical activity and (if possible) get rid of medications that negatively affect sexual function.
Means and preparations for treating potency
Modern manufacturing companies, pharmacies and even the media offer a wide range of various drugs, which are called "drugs for treating impotence", "drugs for increasing potency", etc. It should be understood that only a professional doctor can prescribe drugs that improve potency and restore erection. It is difficult for a person without medical training to distinguish between real drugs that have undergone clinical trials and dietary supplements with low potency and unclear effects, which are often advertised on radio and television as "potency-enhancing drugs. "
Since one of the most common causes of erectile dysfunction is testosterone deficiency, androgen therapy has occupied an important place in the treatment of impotence. Conducting replacement and stimulation therapy with testosterone drugs is aimed at normalizing male hormone levels and leads not only to an improvement in the psycho-emotional state of a man, but also ensures the restoration of potency.
In complex therapy for the treatment of erectile dysfunction in men, we use drugs that regulate vascular function and help improve nerve conduction, which affects the process of restoring erection.
Treatment of psychogenic impotence occurs with the participation of a psychologist. Erectile dysfunction of a psychogenic nature is a consequence of the patient's increased anxiety and depression, conflicts between partners and other mental disorders. An experienced specialist conducts psychotherapy to increase potency.
