Can impotence go away on its own

The question of complete elimination of sexual dysfunction without any medication and therapeutic treatment has long been studied by urologists. As a result of generalizing the data of medical practice, it became known that the restoration of potency without the use of therapeutic measures is possible only if:

• mild forms of psychogenic disorder
• sexual abnormalities caused by taking certain medications

In the presence of other forms of erectile pathology, men need professional diagnostics and complex treatment by an andrologist.

Impotence after taking medication

The reason for the decrease in male erectile ability may be taking the following medications:

• antiepileptic, antidepressant and sedative substances (lorazepam and fluoxetine, phenelzine, amoxapine and diazepam);
• non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (anaprox and indocin, naproxen and naprelan, naprosyne and indomethacin); li>
• antiarrhythmic agents (disopyramide and norpas);
• muscle relaxants (flexeril and orphenadrine, cyclobenzaprine norflex);
• antihypertensive agents (nifedipine, verapamil and atenolol, hypothiazide and clonidine , triamterene and guanfacine);
• substances that help to resist malignant neoplasms in the prostate area (leuprolide and flutamide, lupron and eulexin);
• drugs for chemotherapy treatment (cyclophosphamide and busulfan, milleran and cytoxan);
• antihistamines (promethazine and diphenhydramine, dramamine and vistaril, benardryl and phenergan, dimensionhydrinate and antivert, hydroxycine and meclizine);
• histamine H2 receptor antagonists (nizatidine and simetidine, axid and zantac);
• medicines to help cope with Parkinson's disease (cohentin, trihexyphenidil and biperiden, benztropine and akinetone).

Features of the restoration of male strength

If the patient takes these substances, then their active ingredients suppress the activity of the reproductive system. This type of impotence is temporary. After the completion of drug therapy and complete cleansing of the body from the ingredients of the drugs, erectile abilities are restored. Intoxication of the body due to the effects of nicotine, alcoholic and narcotic products can also provoke male failure. If the patient does not give up bad habits for a long time, then hazardous substances cause persistent consequences. In this case, stopping the intake of alcohol, marijuana, barbiturates, amphetamines, opiates and nicotine will not lead to a rapid restoration of potency. The patient will need to undergo a long course of treatment and rehabilitation.

Psychogenic disorders

Situational manifestations

Impotence associated with mild (situational) psychological disorders can pass without consequences and complications. In this case, sexual arousal disappears spontaneously, the man may suffer from weak erection, insufficient penis enlargement and premature ejection of seminal fluid. You can independently cope with erectile pathology if it is caused by a family quarrel or work conflict, physical or intellectual fatigue. In these cases, impotence is a logical consequence of nervous tension. By normalizing work schedules, resolving conflicts and getting enough rest, patients return to normal sexual attraction and they do not experience problems in making intimate contacts.

Generalized manifestations

The most complex clinical picture is observed in generalized psychogenic disorders, when the cause of sudden impotence is:

• severe psychoemotional trauma
• congenital physical disabilities
• severe neurotic and psychotic personality disorders
• negative experience of sexual contacts, which caused the formation of compulsive waiting syndrome< / li>

The described cases require the use of complex treatment, including a course of psychotherapy. The main difference between severe psychogenic disorders and situational deviations is the patient's inability to heal himself and the absence of healthy criticism of his condition. To stabilize excitability, as well as erection and ejaculatory functions, the patient needs the help of a professional physician. The most difficult cases that provoked a change in the patient's personality characteristics do not respond to treatment and cause a complete loss of sexual function, as well as infertility.
