It is understood that on September 1 day this year, the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University opened a new male health clinic. Professor Deng Chunhua, a urologist in this hospital, pointed out that this will enable more male compatriots to fully understand their reproductive health problems during physical examination. He pointed out that men's health management mainly focuses on three aspects of men: first, ed is the weather vane of men's heart and brain diseases; Second, the decline in sexual desire should check androgen; Third, annual prostate examination is essential.
Professor Sun Xiangzhou from the Department of Urology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University pointed out that in the past, many people did not realize that erectile dysfunction was a physical disease, and even among doctors, few people regarded ed as a sign of overall health decline. However, in recent years, new studies have confirmed that ed has the same pathogenesis as hypertension, coronary heart disease, diabetes, hyperlipidemia and other chronic diseases. "We often meet some patients who complain of erectile dysfunction in urology clinics. After systematic examination, it was found that there were still chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes and hyperlipidemia. ED is more common in cardiovascular diseases. "
Taking coronary heart disease as an example, ED and it have many common risk factors, such as age, lipid metabolism disorder, smoking, meditation, obesity and so on. Endothelial function is damaged, which leads to the decrease of vasodilation function, which is the main cause of angiogenesis. Cardiovascular diseases are also caused by the decline of endothelial function, which leads to changes in function and structure, and finally induces various cardiovascular diseases.
Deng Chunhua said that clinically, men are so proud of their faces that many male patients are unwilling to face diseases such as ED. When men have ED symptoms, it is actually a signal of early cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Avoiding diseases and delaying treatment will only lead to various chronic diseases. Therefore, in order to take care of "men's face" and "men's health", it is necessary to set up a more convenient way for men to see a doctor and receive formal treatment in a more comfortable environment.
For the treatment of ed, we should adopt the method of "physical and mental treatment, husband and wife treatment", and help patients and partners really get out of the shadow of ed. Deng Chunhua pointed out that PDE5 inhibitors are internationally recognized as the first-line drugs to treat ed, but there are several PDE5 inhibitors, which should be selected according to the specific conditions of patients. For example, PDE5 inhibitors can be divided into long-acting and short-acting according to the duration of drug action. Tadalafil, a long-acting drug, can make couples' lives more casual and harmonious because of its long-acting mechanism. But no matter which treatment method is adopted, patients should go to the hospital in time to understand their own problems, and then treat or use drugs under the guidance of doctors.
