How to distinguish between different types of male dysfunction drugs?
Different types of male dysfunction drugs are mainly distinguished and used based on their mechanism of action, treatment of diseases, and applicable population. Here are some common differentiation methods:
Mechanism of action:
Dopaminergic drugs: have the effect of enhancing sexual desire and maintaining erection, such as yohimbine, bromocriptin, etc.
Drugs for treating erectile dysfunction: promote penile erection by improving the diastolic function of smooth muscle cells or endothelial cells in the corpus cavernosum of the penis, such as sildenafil, tadalafil, etc.
Hormonal drugs: such as testosterone, are used to enhance female sexual desire, but have no significant effect on men with normal blood testosterone levels; Luteinizing hormone can enhance sexual desire and erectile function, but it is mainly used to treat hypogonadism.
Antipsychotic drugs, such as clomipramine, fluoxetine, amitriptyline, etc., have the effects of delaying ejaculation and treating premature ejaculation.
Benzenediazepine drugs, such as diazepam and lorazepam, can alleviate the patient's tension, anxiety, and other emotions.
Treating diseases:
Erectile dysfunction (ED): mainly treated with PDE5 inhibitors (such as sildenafil and tadalafil). These drugs are taken orally one hour before sexual activity, and do not need to be taken without sexual activity.
Premature ejaculation: It may be related to psychological factors and can be treated with medications such as sertraline hydrochloride tablets and paroxetine hydrochloride tablets according to medical advice. Meanwhile, local use of lidocaine can also alleviate symptoms of premature ejaculation, but it should be used under the guidance of a professional doctor.
Target audience:
Western aphrodisiacs such as sildenafil and tadalafil are suitable for treating erectile dysfunction.
In summary, when using medication for male dysfunction, appropriate medication should be selected based on the patient's specific situation and the doctor's advice. Meanwhile, patients should also pay attention to the side effects and contraindications of medication.
