"Sexual relations are not only a biological function necessary for procreation, but also the most important part of life, a source of joy and love. "
What is erectile dysfunction
To define sexual deviations associated with erectile dysfunction, the modern medical term "erectile dysfunction" is used. Previously, it was more common to use the definition of "helplessness", the direct meaning of which is "the inability to perform certain actions. "Today, when a patient consults a doctor to solve the problem of increasing potency and conducts a conversation, both terms are used. What is erectile dysfunction?
erectile dysfunctionis a partial or total inability to obtain or maintain an erection necessary for successful sexual intercourse. Typically, a diagnosis of impotence is made when a man is unable to maintain an erection in more than 25% of the sexual acts he attempts.
Prevalence of erectile dysfunction
According to numerous studies, erectile dysfunction is a very common disease. And in all cases, impotence leads to a reduction in the patient's quality of life. According to statistics, more than 30% of men aged 18 to 59 suffer from erectile dysfunction and need to increase their potency.
The global situation is as follows: today more than 150 million men over 40 suffer from erectile dysfunction and need to increase their potency. According to experts from the US National Institutes of Health, their number may more than double by 2025. These negative trends are explained by an increase in risk factors for the development of erectile dysfunction, including diabetes mellitus andwidespread cardiovascular diseases.
Diagnosis of erectile dysfunction
Typically, the doctor learns about the patient's erectile function problems during the first conversation with the patient. There is also a special medical questionnaire to identify sexual dysfunctions and the first symptoms of impotence - the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5).
Like any other disease, it is easier and more effective to treat impotence at the initial stage. It is important not only to establish a diagnosis of "erectile dysfunction", but to identify the cause of the disorder in order to develop treatment aimed at increasing potency.
Diagnosing impotence at an early stage involves taking a somatic and psychological history. It is necessary to establish which of the mechanisms that ensure the appearance of an erection is disturbed. To develop a course of potency restoration, you must first take a blood test for hormones, and in some cases carry out samples and tests of the cardiovascular system. Timely professional diagnosis is the key to successful treatment of impotence.
Unfortunately, modern medicine pays little attention to the issue of the interdependence of nervous system disorders and symptoms of erectile dysfunction. The main reason is that effective methods for assessing the so-called "neurogenic" component of the erection have not yet been developed. Neurogenic impotence is a consequence of dysfunctions accompanied by damage to the structures of the central and peripheral nervous system. For patients of our clinic, we have developed a diagnosis of neurogenic erectile dysfunction according to the Kalinchenko-Rozhivanov method. Common causes of this type of impotence include diabetes, alcohol consumption and smoking, and long-term use of certain medications. Diagnosis of neurogenic disorders is a fundamental step in the examination to develop treatment aimed at increasing potency.
The mechanism of weakening of erection
It has been established that impotence is not an independent disease, but a diagnostic symptom. So, sexual dysfunction can signal more serious health problems that require more than just an increase in potency.
Erectile dysfunction can be not only a consequence, but in many cases a harbinger of serious cardiovascular diseases. According to a study, 64% of men hospitalized for a first myocardial infarction suffered from erectile dysfunction over a period of 3 years.
The main causes of impotence include:
- psychological disorders;
- neurological disorders;
- problems with the endocrine system (low testosterone levels);
- cardiovascular disorders;
- anatomical defects of the penis.
In most cases, impotence develops under the influence of a complex of these factors.
Considering the mechanism of erection, one can be convinced that it is a complex neurovascular-hormonal reaction. Improvement in potency occurs by ensuring the coordinated functioning of all these systems - cardiovascular, endocrine and nervous, provided that there are no anatomical defects of the penis.
The figure shows that the appearance of dysfunctions in at least one of the links ensuring full erectile function can lead to general potency disorders requiring rapid treatment.
The influence of a special component - the endocrine system - on the mechanism of development of a disease such as erectile dysfunction is now being studied quite thoroughly. According to clinical studies, in most cases, impotence is caused by a decrease in the level of the male hormone - testosterone. Acceleration of the process of production of sex hormones is aimed at increasing potency.

It is difficult for a person who does not have medical training to distinguish between real drugs that have been the subject of clinical trials and ineffective food supplements with unstudied effects, often advertised on the radio and on television. television as "potency-enhancing drugs".
Considering that one of the most common causes of erectile dysfunction is testosterone deficiency, androgen therapy has taken an important place in the treatment of impotence. Carrying out replacement and stimulation therapy with testosterone drugs aims to normalize the level of the male hormone and leads not only to an improvement in the psycho-emotional state of a man, but also ensuresrestoration of power.
