Neurohumoral sexual disorders

Neurohumoral sexual disorders are caused by the defeat of the diencephalic section (subthalamic neurohumoral center) or individual glands of internal secretion (pituitary gland, gonads, adrenals, etc.); But in most cases they have a pluriglundular character (delay or disharmony syndromes of the pubertal period, age-related decline in sexual functions, etc.).

Etiology. Hereditary genetic abnormalities, tumors, inflammatory processes, blood supply disorders.

Pathogenesis. The defeat of neurohumoral regulation of sexual functions, which plays the role of a "motor" of sexuality, leads to a decrease in sexual desire, which in turn determines the severity of other sexual manifestations (menstrual cycle in women, erections and ejaculation in men). This affects the diffuse violations of all components of sexual behavior.

Symptoms, the course is diverse and depends mainly on the localization of the lesion and the nature of the pathological process.

Diagnosis is based on a combination of sexual disorders with specific symptoms of damage to certain sections of the interstitial and endocrine glands, determined by examination, anthropometry and laboratory data (spermiogram, the concentration of androgens, estrogen and gonadotropic hormones in the blood plasma, fructose level in the ejaculate, vaginal swabs, sexual chromatin in Buccal scrapings, karyotype in peripheral blood leukocytes, etc.).

Treatment - in accordance with the topic and the nature of the defeat of the main focus. In the treatment of primary sexological pluriglandular syndromes, an increase in the body's own reactivity plays an important role, achieved by the use of so-called adaptogenic agents (ginseng, eleutherococcus, magnolia vine, aralia manchurian, saparal, zamanich, golden root, safflower safflower, pantocrine, apilac).
