Men's daily necessities should be used with caution to avoid hurting "vital parts"

Recommendation: Do not take health supplements or medicines randomly

We are constantly dealing with drugs throughout our lives. With the increase in the types of health products, Chinese medicine ingredients often appear in our drinks and food. However, there are five types of drugs that will significantly affect people's sexual desire and ability:

First, hormone drugs including estrogen, adrenocortical hormone, and testosterone may not only reduce male sexual desire, but may even cause them to have serious problems such as ED (erectile dysfunction), ejaculation disorders, and reduced semen volume.

Second, diuretics will cause potassium loss in the body, and a decrease in blood potassium concentration will reduce the sensitivity of muscles and nerves and relax vascular smooth muscles, which may lead to a weakening of penile erection strength.

Third, some antihypertensive drugs are the most common drugs that affect male sexual function. Among patients taking antihypertensive drugs, 25% may suffer from ED, and some people may also have ejaculation disorders.

Fourth, sedatives have a specific effect on the limbic system of the brain, which can directly reduce or enhance sexual desire and sexual function. Drugs such as diazepam have a muscle relaxant effect, which can lead to a decrease in sexual desire and even ED.

Fifth, some psychotropic drugs can paralyze the male seminal sphincter, reduce the ability to ejaculate, or cause a drop in testosterone levels. A survey showed that the incidence of sexual dysfunction caused by thioridazine can be as high as 60%, while the probability of other drugs of this type causing sexual dysfunction is around 25%.
