Antibiotics and potency: the impact of drugs on men's health
Photo is illustrative in nature. From open sources.
Antibiotics are one of the most widely used drugs in medicine. They are used to fight various infections caused by bacteria. However, along with the benefits, antibiotics can have a negative impact on human health, including potency in men.
How do antibiotics work?
Antibiotics have an effect on bacteria, inhibiting their reproduction or destroying them completely. However, these drugs do not distinguish between healthy body cells and bacteria, which can lead to unwanted side effects.
The effect of antibiotics on potency
Taking antibiotics can have a negative effect on potency in men. This is due to the fact that these drugs can affect the intestinal microflora, which in turn can lead to disruption of the synthesis of beneficial bacteria such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. This can lead to dysbacteriosis, which can reduce the level of testosterone in the blood, which in turn can lead to a decrease in libido and potency in men.
In addition, some antibiotics can have a direct effect on erectile function. For example, antibiotics of the tetracycline group can cause circulatory disorders in the penis, which can lead to a decrease in erection.
How to minimize risks?
In order to minimize the risks of a negative effect of antibiotics on potency, it is necessary to follow a number of recommendations:
- Take antibiotics only as prescribed by your doctor and do not exceed the recommended doses.
- Monitor gut health and take probiotics as needed to maintain a healthy microflora.
- Lead a healthy lifestyle, including eating right, not smoking, and exercising moderately.
- If you have problems with potency, consult a doctor and do not try to self-medicate.
Conclusion
Antibiotics are an integral part of modern medicine, but their use can have a negative impact on human health, including potency in men. In order to minimize the risks, it is necessary to follow a number of recommendations and seek the help of a doctor in case of health problems.
