The male penis is one of the most sensitive areas of the body, which can experience rapid congestion and erection when stimulated and mocked during sexual activity. However, such sensitive and magical penises also have natural enemies, with erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation being the two most prominent. You know, no matter which erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation finds the penis, it will make men suffer. So, why is it incompetent?
The causes of physiological erectile dysfunction in the penis
The normal physiological and anatomical structure of the penis is the material basis for its erection. If the penis cannot be erect due to genetic or hormonal factors, poor development of the external genitalia, severe deformity of the penis, testicular fibrosis, testicular malformations, severe trauma or removal of the testicles, etc.
In cases of severe phimosis, severe varicocele, scrotal sheath effusion, and scrotal swelling, psychological and physical factors can also affect the mechanism of penile erection. In addition, if adult males have sexual fear and consciously avoid sexual activity, it can lead to erectile dysfunction in the long run.
Androgens affect erection
Androgens promote the differentiation and development of fetal sexual organs, and more importantly, they are one of the key factors for sexual arousal and erection after puberty. If androgen deficiency occurs, the patient loses the ability to erect the penis, leading to erectile dysfunction. When exogenous androgens are supplemented, the ability to erect can be restored, indicating the crucial role of androgens in erection.
The relationship between central nervous system and impotence
Although androgens do not directly stimulate the sexual center, they can increase the excitability of the sexual center and maintain a certain level of response ability. However, no research has yet been conducted on how androgens affect the adult sensory nervous system. Some people suggest that the skin of the reproductive organs has the ability to convert testosterone into active dihydrotestosterone; Others believe that androgens can sensitize the tactile stimulation of the genital skin. In fact, dihydrotestosterone is not necessary for sexual arousal and erection, such as in patients without dihydrotestosterone reductase, but the penis can also erect and engage in sexual intercourse.
Mental factors in the brain can also lead to impotence
The production of testosterone is regulated by the brain and hypothalamus. The brain is also a target organ for sex steroid hormones. Malignant stimuli in human mental factors can interfere with and affect the endocrine regulatory center of the hypothalamus, resulting in an imbalance in the levels of androgens in the human blood circulation that maintain male sexual function, which is also one of the reasons for mental impotence.
People also notice that when testosterone levels are significantly low, it is often accompanied by low libido and impotence, and symptoms can be alleviated by supplementing testosterone. But the exact relationship between hormones and sexual behavior is still unclear.
