It is not recommended to treat power disorders with natural or synthetic aphrodisiacs due to the low efficacy of these substances and possible diseases that need to be diagnosed. This was told socialbites.ca by the head of the Atlas clinic in Serpukhov Val, urologist, andrologist Konstantin Antonov.
“A variety of supplements and drugs with aphrodisiac properties are common today, but their effectiveness is often due to the placebo effect,” said the doctor.
According to him, the mechanism of action of alleged aphrodisiacs is not fully understood.
“It is assumed that many herbal supplements relax muscles, relieve psychological stiffness, dilate the vessels of the genital organs, thereby increasing blood flow and sensitivity,” he said.
As the doctor explains, male aphrodisiacs are sometimes irrationally associated with increased testosterone.
“Today there are no definitive studies to confirm this. A review evaluating the effect of more than ten natural aphrodisiacs, including ginseng, on erections showed that extracts of these herbs did not lead to improved sexual function,” said the urologist.
Antonov added that side effects may occur due to the natural “aphrodisiac”.
“The consequences of the use of such substances can be headaches, insomnia, gastrointestinal upset and abdominal pain. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to these substances in diseases of the cardiovascular or digestive system.
The urologist warned that it is important to consult a doctor to investigate the causes of this condition, as it can be a symptom of certain diseases, along with decreased libido.
“Such a symptom may be characteristic of hormonal disorders, depression, deficiency of certain vitamins and minerals, cardiovascular diseases, diseases of the liver and nervous system, and sometimes even cancer,” the doctor warned.
