What are the medicines for treating sexual dysfunction?

Currently, the drugs for regulating sexual dysfunction that are officially available in clinical practice are mainly divided into two major directions: Western drugs that are targeted at improving symptoms, and Chinese patent drugs that are adjusted from the physical level. All drugs must be used in accordance with the doctor's instructions on the premise of clarifying the cause, and they must not be purchased and taken on their own.

When I accompanied a friend to the men's department for consultation a while ago, I met a 32-year-old programmer. He searched for the so-called "imported aphrodisiac" on an e-commerce platform, bought it, and took it for half a month. Not only did the problem of poor erections not improve, but he also felt flustered and dizzy every day. , he went to the hospital to have his blood pressure measured and his blood pressure soared to 150. Only when he was sent for examination did he find out that the small pills he bought, which were not approved by the state, were added with three times the excess amount of sildenafil derivatives, which was equivalent to taking several normal doses of Viagra at one time. He was lucky if nothing serious happened.

Nowadays, the "Viagra" drugs that everyone often hears about, namely sildenafil and tadalafil, are currently the first-line drugs for erectile dysfunction. They have a quick onset and can work when there is sexual stimulation when taken as needed. However, there have been differences in the academic circles regarding the dependence of these drugs. Voice: Most clinicians believe that taking it according to the doctor's instructions will not cause physical dependence. A few studies have pointed out that people who take large doses on their own for a long time have a much higher probability of developing psychological dependence than ordinary people. Therefore, you must listen to the doctor's advice on dosage and frequency of taking, and do not increase the dosage blindly on your own. If the problem that bothers you is premature ejaculation, the only oral drug approved to specifically improve premature ejaculation is dapoxetine, but it is not effective for everyone. The doctor who received the treatment said at the time that about 60% of the patients in the clinic can significantly prolong the time after taking it, and the rest need to cooperate with behavioral training to see the effect.

Many people are worried about the side effects of Western medicine, and prefer to choose patent medicines for conditioning. This option is fine, and is especially suitable for functional problems caused by long-term staying up late, high stress, and disordered work and rest without organic damage. Compound Xuanju Capsules, Huan Shao Capsules, and Shugan Yiyang Capsules are all commonly used in clinical practice. However, regarding the effects of Chinese patent medicines, There is also a lot of controversy over the effect: many young people think it is an "IQ tax" if they don't see any effects after taking it for more than half a month. However, many experts in the field of traditional Chinese medicine believe that this kind of physical adjustment is not immediate. If you stay up late, drink a lot, and work overtime while taking conditioning medicine, no matter how good the medicine is, it will not be effective.

There is also a special category of hormonal drugs, such as testosterone undecanoate, which need to be supplemented only if the androgen level is confirmed to be low. If you take androgen supplements blindly, it will suppress your own hormone secretion, and in severe cases, it may induce prostate-related problems.

Talking back to the programmer I met before, he later underwent a full set of examinations and found no organic problems at all. It was caused by too much pressure and insufficient rest after working on the project for a month. The doctor only prescribed a small dose of tadalafil to be taken as needed, along with some Chinese patent medicines to soothe the liver and relieve depression, and asked him to take half an hour every day to go out for a walk and not stay up late. When he returned for a follow-up visit in less than 20 days, he said he was completely back to normal. I really want to remind you, never buy the kind of "quick-acting" and "no side effects" conditioning medicines sold on WeChat Moments and niche e-commerce platforms. Most of them are illegally added with large doses of western medicine ingredients. The money spent is a trivial matter, but the harm to the body is really more than the gain.
