If a man can’t take any medicine, what kind of medicine is effective? It’s still harmful to the body.

Male sexual dysfunction can be improved through drug treatment. Commonly used drugs include PDE5 inhibitors such as sildenafil, tadalafil, and vardenafil. They must be used under the guidance of a doctor to avoid side effects. Medication selection needs to take into account individual health conditions, drug tolerance and potential cardiovascular risks. Self-medication is not recommended.

1. PDE5 inhibitors:

Sildenafil, tadalafil and other drugs improve erectile function by enhancing blood flow to the penis and are suitable for most organic or psychological erectile dysfunction. Before use, contraindications such as serious heart disease and hypotension must be ruled out, and use in combination with nitrate drugs must be avoided.

2. Androgen replacement:

Those with low testosterone levels may consider androgen preparations such as testosterone undecanoate, and a blood test is required to confirm hormone deficiency. Long-term use requires monitoring of prostate-specific antigen and hematocrit to prevent prostatic hyperplasia and increased blood viscosity.

3. Traditional Chinese medicine conditioning:

Kidney-tonifying traditional Chinese medicines such as epimedium and cistanche deserticola can help improve sexual dysfunction due to kidney-yang deficiency. It needs to be treated based on syndrome differentiation to avoid possible drug interactions caused by mixing with western medicine. The effect of continuous use should be evaluated for no more than 3 months.

4. Psychotropic drugs:

Sexual dysfunction caused by anxiety and depression can be treated with 5-hydroxytryptamine reuptake inhibitors such as dapoxetine for a short period of time. Please note that it may cause side effects such as headache and insomnia. People with severe liver and kidney dysfunction should use it with caution.

5. Nutritional supplements:

Lack of nutrients such as zinc and arginine may affect sexual function, and appropriate supplementation can help improve it. However, the deficiency needs to be confirmed through medical examination. Excessive supplementation may cause gastrointestinal irritation or metabolic burden.

Improving sexual function requires comprehensive intervention. It is recommended to prioritize lifestyle adjustments: maintain aerobic exercise such as jogging and swimming three times a week to enhance cardiovascular function.； Increase zinc-containing foods such as oysters and nuts in your diet, and limit alcohol intake ； Ensure 7 hours of sleep to regulate hormone secretion. Those who are under great psychological pressure can try meditation to relax, and participating in therapy with a partner can relieve anxiety. Regular physical examinations are required to check for basic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension. If symptoms persist for more than 3 months, you need to go to the men's clinic for night-time erection monitoring, penile blood flow ultrasound and other professional examinations.
