Every medicine has three types of toxicity, and even in cold medicine, factors that can affect sexual function cannot be ruled out. Let's take a look at the drugs that affect male sexual dysfunction.
Drugs that affect male sexual function:
1. Human chorionic gonadotropin
Targeted use can treat oligospermia and male sexual dysfunction, but it must be clearly diagnosed as an indication before application.
2. Cycloproterenol
During the medication period, it can cause disorders of the reproductive endocrine system, with symptoms such as decreased libido, weak penile erection, and impotence visible within about a week. Prolonged use can lead to oligospermia or infertility.
3. Diuretic drug spironolactone
It is an aldosterone antagonist that can inhibit the activity of testosterone synthase, reduce testosterone synthesis, lower blood levels, and cause 22% of men to experience decreased libido. If taken daily in doses not exceeding 100 milligrams, it has less impact on sexual function.
4. Estrogen
Estrogenic drugs are commonly used in clinical practice to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia. These patients not only experience significant side effects such as male breast hyperplasia, slow beard growth, decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, ejaculation disorders, and decreased semen volume.
How can men improve their sexual ability?
1. Physical exercise is the best aphrodisiac
Women rely on maintenance, while men rely on exercise. Exercise not only has a healthy physique and vigorous energy, but also increases the overall oxygen content, testosterone secretion, and is the best supplement for the male reproductive system. This inherent strengthening effect is far superior to any health medication, and exercise is the best aphrodisiac. At least twice a week, one should engage in vigorous exercise, such as playing ball, running, strength building, etc. Sweating profusely brings relaxation to the mind and body, greatly improving the quality of sexual life. On this basis, the following methods are more effective.
2. Only wear pure cotton underwear to maintain low temperature
Polyester silk has a temporary inhibitory effect on sperm production. The electrostatic field effect of polyester shorts can easily lead to a decrease in pregnancy hormone levels in pregnant women, leading to miscarriage. Polyester can also generate an electrostatic field in the penile tissue, which may explain why people who wear polyester shorts for a long time exhibit decreased sexual function. Therefore, it is wise to only wear pure cotton underwear. The characteristic of the testicles is the need for a low-temperature environment, otherwise it will directly affect the formation of sperm in the testicles and have a negative impact on reproductive ability. This damage is directly proportional to the temperature and time of high temperature. Maintaining testicular temperature below body temperature in Celsius is crucial. Usually, it is best to wear empty cotton perforated underwear with exposed scrotum, which is breathable and cool, restoring the natural expansion function of the scrotum, promoting the secretion of male hormones, and also making middle-aged men energetic and functional.
