What are the dangers of high blood pressure? Let's take a look.
1. Impotence caused by high blood pressure
Impotence caused by hypertensive disorders
How does high blood pressure cause impotence? Studies have found that high blood pressure can cause narrowing of the lumen of arterioles and accelerate the progression of arteriosclerosis. Arterial stenosis can lead to damage to many organ functions, such as the brain, kidneys, heart, etc.; In the same way, the arteries of Tintin can also be narrowed due to high blood pressure, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the arteries, thus destroying the arterial system of Tintin erection. This can lead to the occurrence of impotence.
Impotence caused by antihypertensive drugs
The cause of drug-induced impotence is not well understood. It may be that the drug inhibits the sexual center in the brain or affects the erectile nervous system, and some studies have proved that impotence caused by antihypertensive drugs is the result of insufficient blood supply to Ding Ding after the blood pressure drops; After stopping the drug, the blood pressure increased again, and the sexual function also returned.
However, the results observed so far show that the incidence of impotence due to taking antihypertensive drugs is very small, so it cannot be assumed that every patient taking antihypertensive drugs will develop itimpotence; Even a certain antihypertensive drug may causeimpotence, impotence will disappear after changing the medication.
Here are some of the antihypertensive drugs that can cause impotence: spiroendogram, methyldopa, clonidine, reserpine, guaneethylpine, ketamine, eutrianin, prazosin, propranolol, benzidazine, etc.
Impotence caused by psychological effects
In addition to impotence caused by hypertension itself and medications, psychological factors can also lead to the occurrence of impotence.Because intercourse requires a certain amount of physical strength, some patients with severe or poorly controlled hypertension will feel uncomfortable during intercourse, which will inevitably aggravate the patient's fear of deteriorating sexual life and high blood pressure.
However, fortunately, impotence complicated by hypertension can sometimes be treated, of course, while treating impotence, we should first adhere to the treatment of the underlying disease, control blood pressure, and control the risk factors that lead to hypertension, such as weight loss, reasonable diet, and avoiding excessive happiness. If people develop impotence after taking a blood pressure medication, they may be able to talk to their doctor about adjusting or switching to a different medication.

3. Iatrogenic factors
Surgical procedures usually cause erectile dysfunction due to damage to the nerves and arteries needed for erection, such as vaginal meridian surgery, prostate surgery, etc.
Fourth, the mechanical factors of blood activity
The erection of the vagina requires a great increase in the arterial blood flow into the corpus cavernosa, and the venous system flowing out of the corpora cavernosa should be in a closed state to prevent venous blood or reduce the outflow of venous blood, but some patients have abnormal function of this system due to organic changesErectile dysfunction
