It is said that a large part of a man's face depends on the "kidney", and many men with sexual dysfunction have very strong self-esteem, which may be the main reason for their disease.

Moreover, men "can't", can not blame the kidneys, many diseases may lead to problems with male sexual function.

A major obstacle in male sexual function is called erectile dysfunction. According to statistics, 26.1% of men in mainland China suffer from erectile dysfunction, and the prevalence of men over the age of 40 is as high as 40.2%. The cure rate was only 17%.

Will diabetes affect sexual function?

Male sexual function problems are closely related to diabetes. According to statistics, 40%-60% of diabetic patients have varying degrees of decreased sexual function, the most common of which is erectile dysfunction.

In a survey of 2 million people with diabetes, about half of them had erectile dysfunction.

The normal erection of the penis requires sufficient blood flow and nerve stimulation. After the penis is stimulated, it will rapidly engorgement in a short period of time, and will not stop until the venous blood pressure in the cavernous body rises to a certain level. Due to the influence of high blood sugar, the blood vessels and nerves of the cavernous body are damaged, and the congestion of the cavernosal body is blocked, resulting in erectile dysfunction.

As the course of diabetes progresses, central autonomic nervous system dysfunction or other complications of diabetes will also aggravate the degree of impairment. Therefore, diabetic patients with sexual dysfunction should actively prevent and treat erectile dysfunction when adhering to hypoglycemic and antihypertensive treatment.

In addition to diabetes, there are many diseases that can be caused, such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, coronary heart disease and other cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases that can cause vascular and neuropathy, as well as endocrine diseases such as hypogonadism, hyperthyroidism, prostatitis, sperm Urogenital diseases such as varicocele can cause erectile dysfunction.

These drugs and behaviors may also cause erectile dysfunction

Some medications can cause erectile dysfunction, such as certain medications for prostate or hair loss, antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, and sedatives. There are also drugs used to treat high blood pressure, because they lower blood pressure, which may reduce penile perfusion pressure and cause erectile dysfunction due to insufficient blood supply to the penis.

Asexuality can also lead to erectile dysfunction . Many people think that erectile dysfunction is a disease that only people who have sex will suffer from, but in fact, it can happen without sex. According to clinical observations, if there is no sexual life for more than three months, and there is no satisfactory erection, it may cause the cavernous body of the penis to shrink and the erectile function to decline.

Excessive cycling also increases the risk of erectile dysfunction . A study comparing men who cycled with those who did not found that cycling for more than 3 hours per week increased the risk of erectile dysfunction after taking out factors such as age, physical strength, chronic disease, and smoking.

But if it is less than 3 hours, there is no problem, it may be because moderate cycling exercise is beneficial to cardiovascular and protects erectile function to a certain extent. Cycling will cause the narrow seat to oppress the male penis, and prolonged oppression may lead to erectile dysfunction.
