Is ADD disorder related
to Impotence?
Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) can result in impotence.
It's associated with low attention spans and hyperactivity.
The symptoms are manifested early in childhood and continue
in varying degrees into adulthood. Antidepressants and
stimulants can control ADD disorder to certain extents.
But, in the long run, it can lead to impotence.
ADD also called ADHD is more common among boys than girls. Extreme restlessness,
feeding difficulties and constant thirst are the symptoms
during childhood. As adults they show poor concentration.
They are fearless in taking unwanted risks, have inflexible
personality and suffer from constant sleep problems.
Treatment during the early years can control ADD disorder
to a certain extent. Meeting a good doctor is the appropriate
way to begin a treatment. For men who suffer from this
disorder, consultation of a medical practitioner is
necessary to learn more about
erectile dysfunction.
Adderall is an effective drug for treating ADD. Though
the drug boosts sex drive initially, after some time
the interest in sex diminishes. Impotence is the biggest
casualty for men who have ADD. Studies on animals showed
that amphetamines can decrease testosterone levels in
the body. The levels of testosterone predict erections
in men. A decreasing testosterone level is an alarm
signal for men who are under anti-depressants as it
increases the possibility of impotence in them.
Common side effects of Adderall
- Tremor
- Anxiety
- Nervousness and headache
- Dizziness and dryness in mouth
- Change in sexual desires
Weakness is associated with ADD. It can spark off
impotence leaving men frustrated and unhappy. It also
alters the blood flow and decreases the heart beat.
A reduced blood flow affects the erection function.
Drugs like Adderall can provide relief in treating ADD
but in the process, it will impede the normal flow of
blood and cause impotence in men.
