Experts analyze why long-term drinking can cause impotence?
Heavy drinking can lead to addiction and addiction to alcohol. Long term heavy drinking can cause hypertension, coronary heart disease, diabetes, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. The occurrence of these chronic diseases is bound to have extremely adverse effects on both the mind and body. Some people feel that life is not fun and spiritless without drinking for a day, and they are well aware of the dangers of drinking but cannot give up. Patients with this impotence should control the amount of alcohol consumed.
Prolonged heavy drinking can lead to chronic alcoholism, resulting in degenerative changes due to nerve fiber damage and nutritional disorders. Some studies have reported that the content of norepinephrine in the penis sponge of such patients is significantly lower than that of normal people. Chronic alcoholism can directly damage the liver, causing alcoholic cirrhosis, impaired liver function, and some toxic substances that cannot be inactivated. They circulate throughout the body, causing inhibition of the brain center, causing dysfunction of the hypothalamus, pituitary, and gonadal axis, leading to impotence.
Experts introduce why patients with liver cirrhosis are prone to impotence?
The main reason for this is due to massive damage to hepatocytes, liver fibrosis, and the formation of nodules during cirrhosis. The detoxification function of hepatocytes and the inactivation function of various hormones are reduced, especially the inactivation function of sexual hormones. Increased estrogen levels in the body inhibit the testicular function of producing male hormones. Over time, it causes testicular atrophy, decreased testosterone secretion levels, and low sexual function, low libido, impotence, or premature ejaculation. "Due to abnormalities in the liver structure and portal hypertension, most of the venous blood in the systemic circulation passes through the collateral circulation without passing through the liver, and toxins in the body cannot enter the systemic circulation through detoxification by the liver. Toxic substances cause chronic poisoning of the testis and atrophy, leading to impotence.". In summary, the causes of impotence in patients with liver cirrhosis are complex and are the result of comprehensive factors.
