Deterioration in erectile function and decreased libido are current problems for modern men. The pharmaceutical industry is actively exploiting the desire of male representatives to meet prescribed norms of intimate life and offers a wide range of different stimulants. Forgotten folk recipes are also coming back. The best tools for potency can be identified in every gap. The choice depends on the cause of the sexual disorder and your general health.
Phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors
Drugs based on phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (enzymes) are leaders in erectile stimulation and treatment of impotence.
All medications have the same principle of action, which means improving the erection by relaxing the wall of the arteries and blood vessels that supply the penis. The active substance blocks the phosphodiesterase, which allows the free release of nitric oxide from the endothelial cells (the inner layer of the blood vessels that is responsible for the contraction of these cells). As a result, the smooth muscles of the blood vessels relax and their lumen increases.
Phosphodiesterase inhibitors act only through sexual stimulation and arousal.
These drugs are considered to be the most effective drugs for impotence. But because the enzyme they target isn’t just found in the penis, side effects are likely:
- headache;
- dizziness, blurred vision;
- dyspeptic disorders;
- pressure increase;
- muscle pain;
- swelling of the nasal mucosa.
According to statistics, the most negative manifestations are in the drug, the effect 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 for the retina. The longest effect of the drug in this group is 36 hours.
Only one drug has a short absorption time, the first effect is felt after 15 minutes. For other funds, the waiting time starts at one and a half hours.
It should be noted that the duration of action of the tablets is directly proportional to the duration of possible side effects.
Studies have shown that 89% of men in the experiment had the highest erections due to a popular PDE-5 inhibitor that increases penile flexibility. The ability to have full sexual contact has increased 20-fold.
NO synthase activator
NO synthase is an enzyme that produces nitric oxide. The more active the gas production, the more effectively the smooth muscles of the blood vessels relax. Purified antibodies to the enzyme are able to stimulate NO synthase. Based on these, a drug has been developed that does not affect your heart rate and does not cause side effects. It can also be used in old age and against the background of cardiovascular pathologies.
The drug is a homeopathic medicine. It should be taken during 12 weeks of treatment to correct erectile dysfunction due to vascular abnormalities and age-related changes. At the end of treatment, the effect lasts for six months.
Hormonal drugs
Lack of testosterone is a major cause of potency disorders. Levels of this hormone can be determined by a blood test. But even if there is a deficiency, it is strictly forbidden to take medications that increase testosterone levels.
To correct hormone levels, doctors prescribe the following tools:
- testosterone patch (allergic skin reactions are likely);
- gel containing testosterone. Hormones penetrate the body transdermally, their levels persist for 4 days;
- oral capsules with androgens. The active substance is rapidly absorbed and excreted;
- testosterone injections. The fast-release forms (testosterone cypionate) have a shorter duration of action, while the slow-release forms (testosterone unedecanoate) last for 3 months;
- implant implanted under the skin (rejection, allergic reactions possible).
Treatment with such drugs is performed under strict medical supervision, as most are toxic to the liver. Severe consequences of overdose (such as testicular atrophy) are possible.
Prostaglandin E1 analogs
Prostaglandins are a group of active substances that are actively involved in metabolic processes. They are made from fatty acids found in the cells of the body. Prostaglandin E1 regulates the contraction of vascular smooth muscle tissue, influences hormone synthesis, and regulates nervous system function. An artificial substitute for this substance helps to improve erections by relaxing the walls of the blood vessels and the cavernous bodies of the penis. It is administered transtretrally or intracavernally.
The devices are effective in the neurogenic, psychogenic, vascular types of erectile dysfunction. After introduction, the effect occurs within 5-10 minutes and lasts for about 3 hours.
Side effects:
- hematomas, fibrosis;
- pain in the penis and testicles;
- pressure increase;
- headache;
- vascular disorders.
Dose selection is performed on an outpatient basis by a physician.
Serotonin reuptake inhibitors
Serotonin is not only a "pleasure hormone", but also a neurotransmitter that regulates the process of arousal and erection. As its concentration in the intercellular space increases, sexual intercourse before ejaculation is prolonged. which prevent the reuptake of serotonin by cellular receptors.
The device is suitable for men with erectile dysfunction expressed in premature ejaculation. Decreased libido and difficulties in achieving orgasm are possible with uncontrolled intake.
Alpha blockers
Drugs in this group are intended to block impulses that narrow the capillaries. There are two types of medicines used to treat erectile dysfunction:
- selective for α2-adrenergic receptors based on the natural alkaloid yohimbine. The drug dilates the arteries and also acts as an aphrodisiac, improving libido. Side effects include occasional tachycardia, indigestion, and excessive anxiety;
- not selective. Effective for violating the peripheral blood supply. During admission, a negative reaction is likely in the form of allergies, dizziness, swelling of the nasal mucosa.
A treatment containing yohimbine is not only used to treat impotence, but also to prevent a decrease in libido and to increase the overall tone of the body. Non-selective medications are prescribed by a doctor.
nutritional supplements
Natural remedies based on plant and animal ingredients can also have a stimulating effect on potency. The composition of food supplements usually contains adaptogens (substances that increase immunity), aphrodisiacs and circulatory activators. In order to have a pronounced effect, it is desirable to complete a course. The most popular members of this class are:
- a product containing mango fruit, nettle leaves, cinnamon, ginkgo biloba, zamanih, garlic, and raspberries. Improves general well-being, gently stimulates potency;
- phytopreparation with creeping tribulus grass. Stimulates testosterone synthesis, improves sperm quality, has anti-inflammatory effects;
- preparations based on extracts of dwarf palm and Eurycoma longifolia. The composition may also contain zinc, vitamin B5, licorice extract and ginseng. During dosing, own testosterone production stabilizes;
- Dietary supplement based on Chinese Cordyceps (a parasitic fungus with aphrodisiac properties) and Eurycoma longifolia. The direction of action is to increase sexual arousal and stimulate testosterone production;
- The ingredients of the preparation are: herbs and roots of teacups ("bear root"). It effectively relieves inflammation of the urogenital system, regulates hormone levels, improves blood circulation;
- a cure that combines a number of herbal stimulants: creeping tribulus, Eurycoma longifolia, ginkgo biloba, Chinese magnolia vine, ginseng, and water chestnut;
- actively advertised medicine based on exotic African herbs;
- a cure in which royal jelly (a bee product) is added to traditional long-leaved eurycomas and ginseng for such preparations.
Chinese food supplements can be distinguished in a separate category:
- extract of black ants and plant ingredients;
- deer antlers, Tibetan cordyceps, yak drones, ginseng;
- genitals of cordyceps, saffron, yak, saiga, deer.
For those who are afraid of overseas exotics, pharmacies offer a wide range of domestic products, e. g.
- from beekeeping products: propolis capsules, drone milk, pollen;
- based on beaver stream;
- mummy (tablets, ointments and suppositories).
Dietary supplements only work if the medicine is not fake and is taken properly.
External funds
Topical preparations are actively used to treat erectile dysfunction and occasional increase in potency in men: creams, sprays, ointments on a natural or chemical basis. Due to the irritating effect, the blood flows actively into the penis and the blood vessels dilate. The cheapest of the stimulant series are ointments with glycerol trinitrate or acid-containing glycosaminoglycan. For a cure-like treatment, a safe herbal remedy with an armored wooden catcher is suitable.
Men leave a lot of positive feedback about the natural composition of intimate spray: beaver, red root (tea kopeck), venison, bacon (grass). The improvement in erection and the overall quality of sexual intercourse is 2-3 times better. Effective for young people with psychogenic erectile dysfunction, couples who need to "refresh" their sexual feelings. It is also suitable for idiopathic impotence, where the desire disappears continuously for no apparent reason.
When selecting a cream or spray, care should be taken to ensure that the anesthetic is present in the product. In the case of problems with delayed ejaculation, the effect of reducing the sensitivity of the head exacerbates the situation.
Folk remedies
Folk remedies, which are sometimes more practical than dietary supplements, can help restore male strength: guaranteed natural ingredients and low prices.
Fairly strong adaptogens and potency stimulants are beekeeping products available in honey shops and beekeepers:
- perga;
- drone milk;
- propolis;
- dead bee.
The tincture of the beaver stream (prianal glands) has a positive effect on libido and health. It is considered by many to be the best way to increase potency and vitality. You can order the device directly from hunters through websites.
Getting rid of impotence helps in the diet of honey, ginger, dry garlic, parsley, celery, walnuts, pumpkin seeds.
Opinions
In terms of review statistics, the leader in the quality of erection achieved is the PDE-5 inhibitor. But the same drug causes serious side effects in some people: men often complain of headaches and blurred vision. For safety, many people use transdermal drugs, the most popular of which are sprays with beaver, red root, venison, and bacon.
Most men are skeptical about dietary supplements. Surveys show that a medicine containing the roots of eurycoma and ginseng has been shown to be the most effective.
Folk remedies do not work as quickly as medical ones, are often difficult to prepare, so they are especially popular with the elderly. The drone milk and the beaver stream gained the most confidence.
When using this or that drug, it is important to monitor not only the dynamics of potency but also the response of the body. Even the treatments prescribed by your doctor are not always appropriate. Regarding the consolidation of the effect: if erectile function is impaired, it should be restored with an integrated approach - medicines and folk recipes - with lifestyle correction.
