Deterioration of erectile function and decreased libido is a real problem for modern men. The pharmaceutical industry actively uses the desire of male representatives to meet the imposed norms of intimate life, offering a huge selection of various stimulants. Forgotten folk recipes also return. The best ways to power can be identified in each niche. The choice depends on the cause of the sexual dysfunction and the general state of health.
Phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors
The first positions in the ranking of means for stimulating erection and treating impotence are occupied by drugs based on phosphodiesterase type 5 (enzyme) inhibitors.
All drugs have the same principle of action which consists in improving erection by softening the walls of the arteries and blood vessels supplying the penis. The active substance blocks phosphodiesterase, which allows nitric oxide to be released freely from endothelial cells (the inner layer of blood vessels responsible for the dynamics of their contraction). As a result, the smooth muscles of the blood pathways relax, their lumen increases.
Phosphodiesterase inhibitors only work with sexual stimulation in an excited state.
These drugs are considered the most effective remedies for impotence. But since the enzyme, to which their activity is directed, is not only located in the penis, side effects are likely:
- headache;
- dizziness, blurred vision;
- dyspeptic disorders;
- increased pressure;
- muscle pain;
- swelling of the nasal mucosa.
According to statistics, the greatest number of negative manifestations in the drug, the action of which is limited to 6 hours, the smallest - in the drug, the duration of which is 10 hours. The last drug is the most gentle on the retina. The longest action of the drug in this group is 36 hours.
A single drug has a short absorption period, the first effect is felt after 15 minutes. For other funds, the waiting time for the activity starts from 1. 5 hours.
Note: the action time of the tablets is directly proportional to the duration of any side effects.
Studies have shown that thanks to the popular PDE-5 inhibitor having the most powerful effect in terms of increasing the elasticity of the penis, 89% of the total number of men participating in the experiment had the highest degree of'erection. The ability to have full sexual contact increased 20 times.
NO synthase activator
NO synthase is an enzyme that produces nitric oxide. The more active gas production, the more efficiently the smooth muscles of the vessels relax. Purified antibodies against this enzyme have the ability to stimulate the work of NO-synthase. On their basis, a drug was created that does not affect heart rate and does not cause associated side effects. It can be taken in old age, as well as against the background of cardiovascular pathologies.
The remedy is a homeopathic remedy. To correct erectile function caused by vascular disorders and age-related changes, it is taken as a course of 12 weeks. At the end of treatment, the effect persists for six months.
Hormonal remedies
Lack of testosterone is one of the main causes of potency disorders. The level of this hormone can be determined by a blood test. But even if there is a deficiency, it is strictly forbidden to take drugs to increase testosterone on your own.
To correct the hormonal level, doctors prescribe the following means:
- patch with testosterone (allergic skin reactions are likely);
- gel containing testosterone. Hormones enter the body transdermally, their level is maintained for 4 days;
- oral capsules with androgens. The active substance is rapidly absorbed and excreted;
- testosterone injections. The rapid-release forms (testosterone cypionate) have a shorter effect, the slow-release forms (testosterone undecanoate) act for 3 months;
- form of implant implanted under the skin (rejection, possible allergic reactions).
Treatment with such drugs is carried out strictly under the supervision of a doctor, since most of them are toxic to the liver. In case of overdose, serious consequences are possible (for example, testicular atrophy).
Prostaglandin E1 analogs
Prostaglandins are a group of active substances that are actively involved in metabolic processes. They are formed from fatty acids in body cells. Prostaglandin E1 controls the contraction of vascular smooth muscle tissue, affects hormone synthesis and regulates nervous system activity. An artificial substitute for this substance helps to improve erection by relaxing the walls of blood vessels and the cavernous bodies of the penis. It is administered transurethrally or intracavernosally.
Means are effective in neurogenic, psychogenic and vascular types of erectile dysfunction. After the introduction, the effect occurs within 5-10 minutes and lasts for about 3 hours.
Side effects:
- hematomas, fibrosis;
- pain in the penis and testicles;
- increased pressure;
- headache;
- vascular disorders.
Dosage selection is carried out by a doctor on an outpatient basis.
Serotonin reuptake inhibitors
Serotonin is not only a "joy hormone", but also a neurotransmitter that regulates the process of arousal and erection. With an increase in its concentration in the intercellular space, the period of sexual intercourse before ejaculation is prolonged. This effect is achieved by taking drugs based on a substance that prevents the reuptake of serotonin by cell receptors.
The tool is suitable for men suffering from erectile dysfunction, expressed in premature ejaculation. With uncontrolled intake, a decrease in libido and difficulty in achieving orgasm are possible.
Alpha blockers
The action of drugs of this group is to block the impulses that narrow the capillaries. There are two types of drugs used to treat erectile dysfunction:
- selective, affecting α2-adrenergic receptors, created on the basis of the natural alkaloid yohimbine. The drug dilates the arteries and also acts as an aphrodisiac, improving libido. Among the side effects, tachycardia, indigestion and excessive anxiety are sometimes recorded;
- non-selective. Effective for violations of peripheral blood supply. With a course of admission, a negative reaction is likely in the form of allergies, dizziness, swelling of the nasal mucosa.
A yohimbine remedy is suitable not only for the treatment of impotence, but also for the prevention of a decrease in libido, as well as for increasing the general tone of the body. Non-selective drugs are prescribed by a doctor.
food supplements
Natural remedies based on components of plant and animal origin are also able to have a stimulating effect on potency. The composition of dietary supplements usually includes adaptogens (substances that increase immunity), aphrodisiacs and circulatory activators. For a pronounced effect, it is desirable to take a course. The most popular representatives of this class of drugs:
- a product that includes mangoes, nettle leaves, cinnamon, ginkgo biloba, zamaniha, garlic, American raspberries. Improves general well-being, gently boosts potency;
- herbal phytopreparation of creeping tribulus. Stimulates testosterone synthesis, improves sperm quality, has anti-inflammatory effect;
- preparations based on extract of saw palmetto and Eurycoma longifolia. The composition may also include zinc, vitamin B5, licorice root extract and ginseng. During administration, the production of its own testosterone is stabilized;
- Food supplement based on Chinese Cordyceps (a parasitic fungus with aphrodisiac properties) and Eurycoma longifolia. The direction of action is a surge of sexual arousal and stimulation of testosterone production;
- Ingredients of the preparation: grass and roots of kopek ("bear root") tea. Effectively relieves inflammation of the genitourinary system, regulates hormonal levels, improves blood circulation;
- a remedy that combines a number of herbal stimulants: creeping tribulus, Eurycoma longifolia, ginkgo biloba, Chinese magnolia, ginseng and water chestnut;
- actively advertised medicine made from exotic African herbs;
- a remedy in which royal jelly (a product of beekeeping) is added to the traditional long-leaved eurycoma and ginseng for such preparations.
In a separate category, there are Chinese food supplements:
- extract of black ants and herbal ingredients;
- deer antler, Tibetan cordyceps, yak testicles, ginseng;
- cordyceps, saffron, genitals of yak, saiga, deer.
For those who are afraid of exotic products from overseas, pharmacies offer a wide selection of domestic products, for example:
- from beekeeping products: propolis capsules, bumblebee milk, pollen;
- on the base of a beaver stream;
- mummy (tablets, ointment and rectal suppositories).
Dietary supplements work only if the medicine is not a fake and is taken correctly.
External funds
For the treatment of erectile dysfunction and occasional increase in potency in men, topical preparations are actively used: creams, sprays, ointments on a natural or chemical basis. Due to the irritating effect, there is an active influx of blood to the penis and the expansion of its vessels. The most affordable representatives of this series of stimulants: ointments with glycerol trinitrate or sulfur-containing acid glycosaminoglycan. For the treatment of the course, a safe herbal remedy with a panicked wooden tongs is suitable.
Men leave a lot of positive reviews about an intimate spray with a natural composition: beaver musk, red root (kopek tea), deer antler, sainfoin (grass). There is an improvement in erection and an increase in the overall quality of sexual intercourse by 2-3 times. Effective for young people with psychogenic erectile dysfunction, for couples who need to "refresh" sexual sensations. It is also suitable for idiopathic impotence, when the desire regularly disappears for no apparent reason.
When choosing a cream or spray, you should pay attention to the presence of an anesthetic in the composition. With problems with delayed ejaculation, the effect of reducing the sensitivity of the head will aggravate the situation.
Folk remedies
With the restoration of male potency, folk remedies can also help, the use of which is sometimes more appropriate than dietary supplements: guaranteed natural raw materials and low prices.
Adaptogens and fairly powerful potency stimulants are bee products, which are available in honey houses and beekeepers:
- perga;
- bumblebee milk;
- propolis;
- dead bee.
A tincture on a beaver brook (prianal glands) has a positive effect on libido and health. Many position it as the best tool for potency and increasing vitality. You can order the tool directly from hunters through Internet sites.
To get rid of impotence will help to include in the diet honey, ginger, dry garlic, parsley, celery, walnuts, pumpkin seeds.
Comments
As for the statistics of reviews, the leader in the quality of the erection achieved is the PDE-5 inhibitor. But the same remedy causes some serious side effects: men often complain of headaches and blurred vision. To play it safe, many use transdermals, the most popular of which is a spray with beaver musk, redroot, deer antlers, and sainfoin.
Most men are skeptical of dietary supplements. According to the results of the surveys, the medicine based on eurycoma and ginseng turned out to be the most effective.
Folk remedies do not give such a quick effect as medical remedies, they are often difficult to prepare, therefore they are popular mainly among the older generation of men. Drone Milk and Beaver Stream have won the most trust.
Using this or that drug, it is important to monitor not only the dynamics of potency, but also the reaction of the body. Even the remedies prescribed by the doctor are not always suitable. Regarding the consolidation of the effect: if erectile function is impaired, it should be restored with an integrated approach - medicines and folk recipes, coupled with lifestyle correction.
