What is sexual dysfunction?

The smooth muscles of the cavernous bodies of the penis and the walls of arterial vessels perform the main function in erection and in its subsequent decline after ejaculation. The muscles of the penis in a relaxed state are under the influence of the sympathetic nervous system. During sexual arousal, nerve impulses contribute to the production of neurotransmitters and the corpus cavernosum increase in size. As a result of the difference in the amount of blood flow and outflow, the pressure in the corpuscles increases, which causes an erection.

Sexual activity depends on the level of dopamine and serotonin-like substances, which have stimulating and depressing effects, respectively. A violation in any link of a complex process can lead to problems with an erection.

What is impotence in men? This is how it is customary to call failures in intimate life. In a state of impotence, a man is unable to perform a full-fledged act under any circumstances.

Erectile dysfunction is a prolonged, single or recurring violation of potency, that is, the inability of a man to achieve and maintain an erection.

Reasons

Erectile disorders can be caused by any factors that cause a decrease in blood flow to the cavernous bodies of the penis.

The disorder is most often a manifestation of various somatic diseases, pathologies of the genitourinary system, etc.

The main causes of sexual dysfunction include:

  1. Diseases of the cardiovascular system: angina pectoris, arterial hypertension, arrhythmias, atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, stroke
  2. Endocrine disorders: thyroid gland malfunction, diabetes mellitus, obesity, hypogonadism, etc.
  3. Traumatic injuries. Rupture of the urethra, fracture of the pelvic bones, and the consequences of surgical intervention on the prostate gland can cause persistent erectile dysfunction
  4. Neurological diseases: multiple sclerosis, herniated discs, peripheral neuropathies
  5. Malignant neoplasms of different localization
  6. Other somatic pathologies: chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, renal and hepatic insufficiency, etc.

In chronic prostatitis, dysfunction is caused by circulatory disorders, hypotestosteronemia, and psychogenic factors that form the syndrome of waiting for failure. A decrease in testosterone levels due to age is important.

Adverse environmental conditions, increased radiation levels, harmful working conditions, alcohol abuse, psychoactive substances, side effects of medications, and smoking have a negative impact.

The causes of psychogenic impotence are:

  • Self-doubt, fear of failure
  • Frequent conflicts with a partner
  • Psychoemotional stress, constant traumatic situation, stress
  • Chronic overwork, which can cause general exhaustion of the body

Erectile dysfunction is often a symptom of depressive, anxiety, and psychotic disorders.

General information

Signs of impotence

Depending on the mechanism of development, several types of this disorder are distinguished.

Neurogenic impotence occurs against the background of cerebrovascular pathologies, spinal cord injuries, diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system.

Problems with psychogenic potency can be temporary or permanent.

Among the early symptoms of sexual dysfunction:

  • Weak erection at any time
  • Reduced or no orgasm
  • Decreased libido
  • Premature ejaculation
  • Sperm reduction

Subsequently, at later stages, the inability to achieve the necessary tension of the penis, to keep it in an erection state, complete impotence is possible.

The lack of effective treatment can lead to undesirable consequences: an absolute inability to achieve even minimal penis tension, infertility, a state of chronic stress, mental disorders.

Diagnostics

At the initial stage of diagnostic measures, the urologist tries to determine the causes, the presence of negative factors, etc .

In an intimate conversation with a patient, the main task of a specialist is to clarify aspects of sexual life, to find out the nature of family relationships, and the partner's attitude to an existing problem. When collecting medical history, it is important to pay attention to concomitant chronic diseases, medication, etc . Special questionnaires and questionnaires are used to assess sexual health. They are one of the most effective diagnostic tools that allow you to determine the presence of dysfunction and the degree of impairment.

When examining the external genitalia, the urologist pays attention to the features of the constitution, possible defects, the development of secondary sexual characteristics in men, the size and consistency of the prostate.

Depending on the clinical picture, laboratory tests are prescribed: general and biochemical blood tests, determination of sugar levels, hemoglobin, C-reactive protein, cholesterol, lipidogram, etc. It is mandatory to perform a blood hormone test.

To assess the quality and duration of an erection, a pharmacological test with additional stimulation is performed.

Instrumental diagnostic methods are widely used:

  1. Ultrasound examination of the prostate gland (transrectal). It helps to visualize the size and structure of an organ, detect signs of inflammation, tumor process, etc.
  2. Dopplerography of the vessels of the penis makes it possible to assess the state of hemodynamics
  3. Cavernosography is an X–ray technique for detecting venous vessels through which venous outflow is carried out
  4. Histological examination of cavernous body tissue
  5. Ultrasound of the thyroid gland is prescribed to identify structural changes and the functional state of this organ

If sexual function is impaired, you should consult a urologist as soon as possible.

Treatment

Modern urology has effective techniques for the successful treatment of impotence in men. The choice of therapeutic tactics and techniques depends on many factors. The decision on the appropriate method is made by the doctor after identifying the cause of the disorder.

The first step is conservative therapy using testosterone preparations. These androgenic drugs have proven their effectiveness, but are not indicated in all cases.

A relatively new technique is the intracavernous administration of medications such as phentolamine, prostaglandin E1, etc. The use of technology makes it possible to lead a normal sex life without discomfort and restrictions.

Surgical intervention is performed in patients younger than 40 years of age, if conservative therapy is ineffective, as well as in men after blunt trauma to the pelvis or perineum, in the absence of risk factors.

There are various microsurgical techniques, the purpose of which is the revascularization of the penis. In urological practice, methods aimed at creating tightness of the circulatory system of the penis are used:

  • Endovascular embolization of organ veins
  • Resection of venous vessels
  • Ligation of legs, etc.

Intracavernous phalloprosthesis is indicated for patients suffering from this disorder of an organic nature for at least a year, with tolerance to other therapies. An important condition for the recovery period after surgery is the choice of the optimal prosthesis design. The advantages of the technique are the absence of the need for injections and constant medication, minimal risk of complications, and a natural erection.

In various forms of the disorder, psychotherapy, a healthy lifestyle, the elimination of bad habits, a balanced diet, massage, physical activity, etc. are of great importance .
