Deterioration of erectile function and decreased libido are a real problem for modern men. The pharmaceutical industry is actively using the desire of male representatives to meet the imposed standards of intimate life, offering a huge selection of various stimulants. Forgotten folk recipes also return. The best means for potency can be identified in each niche. The choice depends on the cause of sexual dysfunction and overall health.
Phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors
The leading positions in the ranking of means of stimulating erection and treating impotence are occupied by drugs based on type 5 phosphodiesterase inhibitors (enzyme).
All drugs have the same principle of action, which consists in improving the erection by relaxing the walls of the arteries and blood vessels of the penis. The active ingredient 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 tracts relax, their lumen increases.
Phosphodiesterase inhibitors only work with sexual stimulation in a state of arousal.
These drugs are considered to be the most effective remedies for impotence. But since the enzyme, to which their activity is directed, is found not only in the penis, side effects are likely:
- heachache;
- dizziness, blurred vision;
- dyspeptic disorders;
- increased pressure;
- muscular 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 latter drug is the gentlest for the retina. The longest action of the drug in this group is 36 hours.
Only one drug has a short period of absorption, the first effect is felt after 15 minutes. For other funds, the waiting period for the activity starts at one and a half hours.
It should be noted: the time of action of the tablets is directly proportional to the duration of possible side effects.
Studies have shown that thanks to the popular PDE-5 inhibitor with the most potent 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 the gas production, the more effectively the smooth muscle of the vessels relaxes. Purified antibodies against this enzyme have the ability to stimulate the work of NO-synthase. Based on them, a drug was created that does not affect the 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 on a 12-week course. At the end of the 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 alone.
To correct the hormonal level, doctors prescribe the following means:
- patch with testosterone (allergic reactions from the skin are likely);
- gel containing testosterone. Hormones enter the body transdermally, their level is maintained for 4 days;
- oral capsules with androgens. The active ingredient is rapidly absorbed and excreted;
- testosterone injections. The fast-release forms (testosterone cypionate) have a shorter effect, the slow-release forms (testosterone undecanoate) act for 3 months;
- shape of the implant implanted under the skin (rejection, allergic reactions possible).
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 an overdose, serious consequences are possible (for example testicular atrophy).
Prostaglandin E1 analogs
Prostaglandins are a group of active substances actively involved in metabolic processes. They are formed from fatty acids in the cells of the body. Prostaglandin E1 controls the contraction of vascular smooth muscle tissue, influences the synthesis of hormones and regulates the activity of the nervous system. An artificial substitute for this substance helps improve erection by relaxing the walls of blood vessels and the corpora cavernosa of the penis. It is administered transurethral or intracavernous.
Means are effective in neurogenic, psychogenic and vascular types of erectile dysfunction. After the introduction, the effect occurs within 5-10 minutes and lasts about 3 hours.
Adverse reactions:
- hematomas, fibrosis;
- pain in the penis and testicles;
- increased pressure;
- heachache;
- vascular disorders.
Dosage selection is done 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 extended. 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 with erectile dysfunction, expressed in premature ejaculation. With uncontrolled intake, decreased libido and difficulty reaching orgasm are possible.
Alpha blockers
The action of drugs in this group is to block the impulses that constrict the capillaries. There are two types of drugs used to treat erectile dysfunction:
- selective, which affects the 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. Side effects occasionally include tachycardia, indigestion and excessive anxiety;
- not selective. Effective for violations of peripheral blood supply. With an admission course, a negative reaction in the form of allergies, dizziness, swelling of the nasal mucosa is likely.
A remedy with yohimbine is suitable not only for the treatment of impotence, but also as a prevention of a decrease in libido and to increase the overall tone of the body. Non-selective drugs are prescribed by a doctor.
dietary supplements
Natural remedies based on components of plant and animal origin are also able to have a stimulating effect on potency. The composition of food 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 mango fruits, nettle leaves, cinnamon, ginkgo biloba, zamaniha, garlic, American raspberries. Improves general well-being, gently stimulates potency;
- phytopreparation with creeping tribulus grass. Stimulates testosterone synthesis, improves sperm quality, has an anti-inflammatory effect;
- preparations based on dwarf palm extract and Eurycoma longifolia. The composition may also include zinc, vitamin B5, licorice root extract and ginseng. During administration the production of own testosterone stabilizes;
- Food supplement based on Chinese Cordyceps (parasitic mushroom that exhibits aphrodisiac properties) and Eurycoma longifolia. The direction of action is a wave of sexual arousal and stimulation of testosterone production;
- Ingredients of the preparation: herbs and roots of kopek tea ("bear root"). 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 vine, ginseng and water chestnut;
- actively advertised drug based on African exotic herbs;
- a remedy in which royal jelly (a product of beekeeping) is added to the traditional long-leafed euryichome and ginseng for such preparations.
In a separate category, Chinese food supplements can be distinguished:
- extract from black ants and herbal ingredients;
- deer antlers, Tibetan cordyceps, yak testicles, ginseng;
- cordyceps, saffron, yak genitals, saiga, deer.
For those who are afraid of overseas exotics, pharmacies offer a large selection of domestic products, for example:
- from beekeeping products: capsules with propolis, drone milk, pollen;
- on the basis of a stream of beavers;
- mummy (tablets, ointments and rectal suppositories).
Dietary supplements are effective only if the drug is not 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 flow of blood to the penis and the expansion of its vessels. The most convenient representatives of this series of stimulants - ointments with glycerol trinitrate or sulfur-containing acid glycosaminoglycan. For the course treatment, a safe herbal remedy with a cob wood tongs is suitable.
Men leave a lot of positive feedback about an intimate spray with a natural composition: beaver moss, red root (kopek tea), deer antlers, 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" their sexual sensations. It is also suitable for idiopathic impotence, when the desire constantly 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 delayed ejaculation problems, the effect of reducing the sensitivity of the head will aggravate the situation.
Folk remedies
With the restoration of male power can also help folk remedies, the use of which is sometimes more appropriate than food supplements - guaranteed natural raw materials and low price.
Quite strong adaptogens and potency stimulants are bee products, which are available in honey stores and beekeepers:
- perga;
- kelp milk;
- propolis;
- dead bee.
A tincture on a beaver stream (prian glands) has a positive effect on libido and health. Many position it as the best tool for increasing potency and increasing vitality. You can order the tool directly from hunters through the Internet sites.
To get rid of impotence will help the inclusion in the diet of honey, ginger, dried garlic, parsley, celery, nuts, pumpkin seeds.
Reviews
As for the review statistics, 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 be on the safe side, many use transdermals, the most popular of which is a spray with beaver moss, red root, antler, and sainfoin.
Most men are skeptical of dietary supplements. According to the results of surveys, the drug with the root of eurycoma and ginseng turned out to be the most effective.
Folk remedies do not give such a quick effect as medical ones, they are often difficult to prepare, so they are popular mainly among the older generation of men. Drone milk and beaver flow have gained the greatest 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. As for the consolidation of the effect: if the erectile function is impaired, it should be returned with an integrated approach: folk medicines and recipes, along with lifestyle correction.
