Medicines
Medicines for the treatment of impotence may differ in their mechanism of action and the duration of the therapeutic effect.The dosage of the medicine is selected individually.
The following medications for impotence after 50 years are quite often used:
- Phosphodiesterase inhibitors.They help relax the arteries of the penis and improve erection.A popular drug from this group should not be taken simultaneously with other medications that help increase potency.When using it, a man over 50 years of age may experience various side effects: decreased visual acuity and blood pressure, pain in the eye area, allergic rash, increased heart rate, pain in the back.Other phosphodiesterase inhibitors also have certain contraindications.When using drugs in this group, blood pressure may increase, and in some cases the heart rate may increase.Before using them, it is recommended to undergo an appropriate medical examination;

Use of intracavernosal injections based on vasoactive drugs
With intracavernosal injections, medications that can cause an erection are injected into the cavernous field of the penis.As a result, the smooth muscles of the vessels of the penis relax, and blood flow to the male organs accelerates.Various medications are used for intracavernosal injections.The most commonly used drugs are:
- opium alkaloid, isoquinoline derivative;
- a peripheral vasodilator that blocks alpha1 and alpha2 adrenergic receptors;
- a synthetic analogue of natural prostaglandin E1.
The opium alkaloid helps to relax the arteries of the genital organ.Therefore, men over 50 years old have improved erections.The following side effects are observed when using this medicine:
- Nausea.
- Weakness.
- Dizziness.
- Reduced blood pressure.
An analogue of natural prostaglandin E1 is also actively used to treat impotence after 50 years.The drug should not be used if you are hypersensitive to the components of the drug.If a man has genital deformation or sickle cell anemia, the medicine is used with caution.
It is recommended to avoid using the medication if you have coronary heart disease or chronic lung pathologies.If a man uses the drug on his own at home, after 10 injections he must visit a doctor.
Prosthetics of the genital organ
Penile prosthesis is a radical method of getting rid of impotence.Surgical intervention helps restore erectile and urinary function in patients over 50 years of age.The duration of the surgical operation ranges from 60 to 150 minutes.Much depends on the extent of the surgical intervention.
The essence of the operation is that a prosthesis made of silicone is placed into the cavernous bodies of the genital organ.
There are several types of silicone prostheses.A product with rigid rods gives the penis hardness.But such prostheses are not able to change their shape: the sexual organ is always in a state of erection.This creates some difficulties and complicates the man’s social adaptation.Semi-rigid dentures have two rigid cylinders and a rod made of an alloy.It is located in the very center of the prosthesis.The prosthesis allows you to give the penis any position.
In some medical institutions, doctors also have hydraulic prostheses at their disposal.They are hollow tubes made of silicone.Inside the hydraulic penile prosthesis there is a corresponding liquid, thanks to which the sexual organ can change its position.
The rehabilitation period for a surgical operation that helps against impotence after 50 years is at least four weeks.
The patient needs to abstain from sexual relations for about a month and a half.Complications may occur after surgery.They are most often observed when low-quality implants are used or the surgeon is incompetent.
