Deterioration of erectile function and decreased libido is a current 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 are also returning. The best potency agent can be identified in any niche. The choice depends on the cause of sexual dysfunction and overall health.
Phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors
Leading positions in the ranking of means for stimulating erection and treatment of impotence are occupied by drugs based on phosphodiesterase type 5 (enzyme) inhibitors.
All drugs have the same principle of action, which consists in improving erections by relaxing the walls of the supply arteries and blood vessels of the penis. The active substance blocks phosphodiesterase, which allows the free release of nitric oxide from endothelial cells (the inner layer of blood vessels responsible for the dynamics of their contraction). As a result, the smooth muscles of the bloodstream relax, their lumen increases.
Phosphodiesterase inhibitors work only with sexual stimulation in a state of arousal.
These drugs are considered to be the most effective remedies for impotence. But since the enzyme on which their activity is directed is found not only in the penis, side effects are likely:
- headache;
- dizziness, blurred vision;
- dyspeptic disorders;
- increase in pressure;
- muscle pain;
- swelling of the nasal mucosa.
According to statistics, the largest number of adverse events in the drug, whose action is limited to 6 hours, the smallest - in the drug, whose duration is 10 hours. The last remedy is the most gentle for the retina. The longest duration of action of the drug in this group is 36 hours.
Only one drug has a short absorption period, the first effect is felt after 15 minutes. For other funds, the activity waiting period starts at an hour and a half.
It should be noted: the duration 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 powerful effect in terms of increasing the elasticity of the penis, 89% of the total number of men who participated in the experiment had the highest degree of erection. The ability to have full sexual contact has been increased 20 times.
WITHOUT synthase activator
NO synthase is an enzyme that produces nitric oxide. The more active the production of gas, the more efficiently the smooth muscles of the blood vessels relax. Purified antibodies to this enzyme have the ability to stimulate NO synthase. Based on them, a drug was created that does not affect the heart and does not cause side effects. It can be taken in old age, as well as in the background of cardiovascular pathologies.
The remedy is a homeopathic remedy. It is taken for 12 weeks to correct erectile function caused by vascular disorders and age-related changes. At the end of the treatment, the effect lasts for six months.
Hormonal drugs
Testosterone deficiency 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 testosterone-raising drugs on your own.
To correct hormone levels, doctors prescribe the following remedies:
- testosterone patch (allergic skin reactions are likely);
- gel containing testosterone. Hormones penetrate the body transdermally, their level is maintained for 4 days;
- oral androgen capsules. The active substance is rapidly absorbed and excreted;
- testosterone injections. Fast-release forms (testosterone cypionate) have a shorter effect, slow-release forms (testosterone unedecanoate) are effective for 3 months;
- implant shape implanted under the skin (rejection possible, allergic reactions).
Treatment with such drugs is carried out strictly under the supervision of a physician, as most of them are toxic to the liver. In case of overdose, severe consequences are possible (for example, testicular atrophy).
Prostaglandin analogues E1
Prostaglandins are a group of active substances that are 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, affects hormone synthesis and regulates the activity of the nervous system. An artificial substitute for this substance helps to improve erections by relaxing the walls of blood vessels and the cavernous bodies of the penis. It is administered transurethrally or intracavernously.
The drugs are effective in neurogenic, psychogenic, vascular types of erectile dysfunction. After introduction, the effect occurs within 5-10 minutes and lasts about 3 hours.
Side effects:
- hematomas, fibrosis;
- pain in the penis and testicles;
- increase in pressure;
- headache;
- vascular disorders.
Dose selection is performed by the outpatient physician.
Serotonin reuptake inhibitors
Serotonin is not only a "joy hormone", but also a neurotransmitter that regulates the process of arousal and erection. As its concentration in the intercellular space increases, the period of sexual intercourse before ejaculation lengthens. This effect is achieved by taking drugs based on a substance that prevents the re-intake of serotonin by cellular receptors.
The tool is suitable for men with erectile dysfunction, expressed in premature ejaculation. With uncontrolled intake, it is possible to reduce libido and have difficulty achieving orgasm.
Alpha blockers
The action of drugs of this group is to block impulses that narrow capillaries. There are two types of medications used to treat erectile dysfunction:
- selectively acts on α2-adrenergic receptors, created on the basis of the natural alkaloid yohimbine. The drug dilates arteries and also acts as an aphrodisiac, improving libido. Side effects occasionally include tachycardia, indigestion, and excessive anxiety;
- nonselective. Effective in peripheral blood supply disorders. Upon admission, a negative reaction in the form of allergies, dizziness, swelling of the nasal mucosa is likely.
The drug with yohimbine is suitable not only for the treatment of impotence, but also for the prevention of decreased libido, as well as to increase overall body tone. Non-selective drugs are prescribed by a doctor.
dietary supplements
Natural remedies based on components of plant and animal origin can also have a stimulating effect on potency. The composition of dietary 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, zamanihu, garlic, American raspberries. Improves overall well-being, gently stimulates potency;
- phytopreparation with creeping tribulus grass. Stimulates testosterone synthesis, improves sperm quality, has anti-inflammatory effects;
- 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 one's own testosterone is stabilized;
- Dietary supplement based on Chinese cordyceps (parasitic fungus showing aphrodisiac properties) and Eurycoma longifolia. The direction of action is a rush of sexual arousal and stimulation of testosterone production;
- Ingredients of the preparation: grass and kopeck tea root ("bear root"). Effectively relieves inflammation of the genitourinary system, regulates hormone levels, improves blood circulation;
- a drug that combines a number of herbal stimulants: creeping tribulus, Eurycoma longifolia, ginkgo biloba, Chinese magnolia, ginseng and water chestnut;
- actively advertised medicine based on exotic African herbs;
- a drug in which royal jelly (a beekeeping product) and ginseng for such preparations are added to traditional long-leaved eurycoma.
In a separate category, Chinese food supplements can be singled out:
- black ant extract and plant ingredients;
- deer antlers, Tibetan cordyceps, strong testicles, ginseng;
- cordyceps, saffron, genitals strong, saige, deer.
For those who are afraid of overseas exotics, pharmacies offer a wide selection of local products, for example:
- from bee products: capsules with propolis, drone milk, pollen;
- at the base of the beaver stream;
- mummy (tablets, ointment and rectal suppositories).
Dietary supplements have an effect only if the drug is not fake and if taken properly.
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 into the penis and dilation of its veins. The most accessible representatives of this series of stimulants: fats with glycerol trinitrate or acidic glycosaminoglycan containing sulfur. A safe herbal remedy with wood tongs is suitable for therapeutic treatment.
Men leave a lot of positive feedback about the intimate spray with a natural composition: beaver musk, red root (tea kopeck), deer antlers, asparagus (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" sexual sensations. It is also suitable for idiopathic impotence, when the desire constantly disappears for no reason.
When choosing a cream or spray, pay attention to the presence of anesthetics in the composition. With delayed ejaculation problems, the effect of reducing the sensitivity of the head will worsen the situation.
Folk remedies
Folk remedies can also help restore male potency, the use of which is sometimes more appropriate than dietary supplements: guaranteed natural raw materials and low prices.
Quite strong adaptogens and potency stimulants are bee products, which are available in honey and beekeepers:
- perga;
- drone milk;
- propolis;
- dead bee.
Tincture on beaver stream (prianal glands) has a positive effect on libido and health. Many position it as the best means of potency and vitality. You can order the tool directly from the hunters via the website.
To get rid of impotence will help the inclusion in the diet of honey, ginger, dried garlic, parsley, celery, nuts, pumpkin seeds.
Reviews
In terms of review statistics, the leader in the quality of erections achieved is the PDE-5 inhibitor. But the same drug causes serious side effects in some: men often complain of headaches and blurred vision. To be sure, many use transdermal, the most popular of which is a spray with beaver musk, red root, deer antlers and asparagus.
Most men are skeptical about dietary supplements. According to survey results, the drug with eurycoma root and ginseng proved to be the most effective.
Folk remedies do not give as fast an effect as medical, they are often difficult to prepare, so they are popular mainly among the older generations of men. Drone milk and beaver stream gained the greatest trust.
When using this or that drug, it is important to monitor not only the dynamics of potency, but also the reaction of the body. Even medications prescribed by a doctor are not always appropriate. As for the consolidation of the effect: if erectile function is impaired, it should be restored with an integrated approach - drugs and folk recipes, with lifestyle adjustments.
