Can drinking alcohol cause male impotence? Drinking alcohol seems inevitable in daily communication. Can drinking alcohol cause male impotence? Many men are concerned about this issue. The following series will introduce you.
There are many factors that can cause male impotence. Is wine, as a common product in daily life, directly related to male impotence? Impotence is the main culprit in sexual activity, so we should try to avoid all factors that can cause male impotence.
Impact on the vascular system
Just after drinking, a person will feel intermittent fever and blush on their face. Because a large amount of blood is concentrated in the blood vessels of the brain and skin at this time, if sexual activity occurs at this time, the sexual organs immediately need a large amount of blood, leading to a shortage of supply. How can the penis achieve a good erection? When fever and facial redness subside, a large amount of blood will accumulate in internal organs, but people will feel cold. At this point, the sexual organs still cannot receive the ideal blood supply, and impotence may occur.
Impact on the nervous system
Drinking alcohol will temporarily stimulate the headquarters of the cerebral cortex, but it will soon enter a state of inhibition. If you rush to have sex in this brief state of excitement, you will become too excited, reckless, rude, and even lose your composure. Sexual abilities are prone to deviation and can easily lead to criticism from spouses. This is often caused by impotence caused by poor mental and psychological state. If sexual intercourse goes from excitement to inhibition, the occurrence of impotence is more reasonable due to the inhibitory state of the control nervous system.
Impact on overall physical condition
People who drink alcohol for a long time or frequently experience weight loss, fatigue, and loss of appetite, especially when alcohol stimulates the gastrointestinal mucosa, which can seriously hinder digestive function and lead to a decrease in nutritional levels. Therefore, the overall physical condition is getting worse and the sexual ability will also decrease. It's not surprising that erectile dysfunction is abnormal.
The impact on sex hormone metabolism
Data shows that after drinking more alcohol, the amount of testosterone in the blood decreases. On the one hand, alcohol directly hinders the production of testosterone in the testes. On the other hand, due to alcohol stimulation, the liver accelerates the treatment of testosterone, and many testosterone is broken down and converted into other substances. In addition, people who drink alcohol for a long time will inevitably have a certain degree of alcoholic liver cirrhosis. Although the therapeutic ability of testosterone will weaken, the level of estrogen in the body will increase. In short, a decrease in testosterone or an increase in estrogen can lead to erectile dysfunction
