Some people blindly seek medication for themselves once their bodies get sick. But in reality, drugs have three levels of toxicity. Blindly taking drugs not only harms an individual's body, but also delays the condition and affects male function. Let's take a look at which drugs can affect male function. These medicines must not be taken indiscriminately.
What medications can affect male sexual function?
1. Antihypertensive drugs
In recent years, with the changes in China's dietary structure, the number of people with hypertension has increased, and most of them must use antihypertensive drugs to maintain their daily blood pressure. But the survey shows that about 14 patients taking antihypertensive drugs have erectile dysfunction and some have ejaculation disorders. That is to say, many people taking antihypertensive drugs for a long time can affect their functions. Therefore, one should try to adjust their physical condition to avoid hypertension. Actively treat the illness, try to adjust the diet as much as possible, and do not worsen the condition. Rely on medication to control it.
2. Diuretic drugs
If male friends take too many diuretic and anti-inflammatory drugs, our body may lose a lot of potassium. Potassium is a very important mineral element in our body, which plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance of mineral elements in our body. If the potassium element in the body is insufficient, it may affect our blood concentration and lead to a decrease in the sensitivity of our muscles and nerves. Not only can it cause erectile dysfunction, but it can also lead to insufficient strength and hardness during erection.
3. Psychotropic drugs
Many psychotropic drugs can damage male sexual function and may cause a decrease in male ejaculation ability. If there is a habit of relying on psychotropic drugs in daily life, male testosterone levels may decrease. Data shows that among all psychotropic drugs, the vast majority of drugs can cause dysfunction.
4. Sedative drugs
Sedative drugs mainly act on our brain tissue, so they may cause damage to our brain. There is a very important part of the human brain called the limbic system. This part can mainly control our sexual reflex and directly affect our sexual function. The vast majority of calming drugs have the effect of relaxing muscles and may even cause serious damage to our limbic system. The phenomenon of decreased libido can lead to erectile dysfunction in severe cases.
