Impotence with alcoholism

Uncontrolled intake of alcohol-containing products is a negative factor contributing to the complete loss of sexual potency. Alcohol abuse as a pleasant way of spending leisure time is fraught with the development of incurable erectile dysfunction and infertility. Among the more serious consequences of chronic alcoholism are cirrhosis of the liver, alcoholic delirium and death.

Sexual Disorders

Doctors have long proven the harmful effects of alcohol on sexual activity. Even a one-time intake of alcohol leads to suppression of erection and a significant deterioration in the quality of seminal fluid. When planning a family, young couples warn about the dangers of alcohol and warn against drinking before sexual intercourse. The fact is that children conceived by parents in a state of alcoholic intoxication suffer from many congenital pathologies, the risk of developing a premature baby and miscarriage increases.

Chronic alcoholics suffer from severe reproductive dysfunctions. Alcohol negatively affects the neuroendocrine system, reduces the overall level of sexual activity and impairs the quality of intercourse. A man suffering from alcoholism gradually loses control over ejaculation, which occurs before direct penetration into the vagina or within the first minute after the onset of sexual intercourse. The patient mistakenly assumes that he can increase sexual activity with the help of stimulation with large doses of alcohol, but alcohol causes a complete loss of interest in the opposite sex and the loss of basic life values. Persistent dependence on alcoholic beverages provokes pathologies of the endocrine glands. The testicles stop producing the required amount of testosterone. The plasma concentration of female sex hormones increases, as a result of which pathological changes occur in the man's body, including:

• enlargement of the mammary glands
• baldness
• the formation of fatty deposits on the thighs and abdomen
• change in the timbre of the voice

Mental damage

Since ethyl alcohol is a potent poison, its regular intake into the body provokes a change in the psyche. Patients suffer from severe nervousness and depression, experience an obsessive desire to commit suicide. Alcoholic encephalopathy occurs in patients who regularly drink alcohol for at least 3-5 years. This painful condition is characterized by:

• loss of sleep and appetite
• static visual hallucinations
• anxious affect

Alcoholics experience excessive motor excitement or short-term states of immobility associated with overstrain of muscle fibers. Uncontrolled mumbling, speech disorders, and loss of orientation in space and time occur.

Ethyl alcohol-induced liver damage

The systematic intake of alcohol-containing products has a destructive effect on liver cells. Since the tissues of an internal organ cannot recover from damage and degeneration, acute hepatic dysfunction develops, leading to certain death. Among chronic alcoholics, the most common are organic pathologies such as:

• alcoholic fatty liver disease
• stable and progressive alcoholic hepatitis
• alcoholic liver cirrhosis
• liver cancer

Vascular and heart pathologies

Alcohol damages the cardiovascular system, causes acute attacks of increased blood pressure and hypertensive crises, which are fatal. People who regularly abuse alcohol often have ischemia and arrhythmia, atherosclerosis and thrombosis.

Mutagenic changes in the body of alcoholics

Alcohol is an active mutagen. It destabilizes the body's immune defenses, provoking cancerous lesions of the tongue and larynx, esophagus and stomach. If the parents abuse alcohol, then the children will have a high tendency to develop malignant neoplasms at an early age.

Gastrointestinal pathology

Under the influence of ethyl alcohol, active destructive processes occur in the gastrointestinal tract. The mucous membrane is quickly destroyed, the composition of the internal microflora is disrupted. Individuals with alcohol dependence suffer from erosive gastritis and severe forms of gastric ulcer. They often have impaired gastric acid secretion and dysfunction of the salivary glands.
