Life is constantly progressing and developing, and people’s living standards have also seen significant improvement. Today’s diet is colorful and diverse. As we know, many families now have excellent living conditions, so they often indulge in large quantities of rich food. However, in daily life, frequently consuming greasy food can lead to high blood pressure over time, and in severe cases, it may develop into hypertension. As everyone knows, hypertension is a common chronic disease in daily life, and most people choose to stabilize their blood pressure with medication after being diagnosed. But for men, what changes might occur in the body if they regularly take blood pressure-lowering medication? Let’s find out together.
What happens to men who take “antihypertensive medication” long-term? There may be these 3 “changes.”
1. Adverse effects on vascular health
In daily life, if a man frequently takes antihypertensive medication, it can have certain side effects on the body. Additionally, if a man takes these medications long-term, it can affect his blood vessels. After all, all medications carry some risk; prolonged use may weaken the blood vessels, and in severe cases, it could lead to vascular hardening, endangering life.
2. Increased burden on the liver and kidneys
Everyone knows that the excess toxins and waste in our bodies need to be metabolized and expelled by the kidneys and liver. If antihypertensive medications are taken long-term, this can burden the kidneys and liver, resulting in an inability to promptly expel toxins and waste from the body. This may lead to adverse effects on our bodies; over time, it could gradually decrease the function of the liver and kidneys, which negatively impacts our overall health. Therefore, we should consume more fresh fruits and vegetables in our daily lives, which can help stabilize our blood pressure.
3. Erectile dysfunction in men
In daily life, as men age, reaching a certain age makes them more susceptible to hypertension. If men take antihypertensive medication long-term, it can affect their fertility and sexual function, potentially leading to issues like premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction. This is particularly relevant for younger men, who should avoid frequently taking antihypertensive medications; otherwise, it may affect the health of their reproductive system. If they wish to have a second child in the future, there may be certain impacts.
All medications have some risks. If men take antihypertensive medications or other drugs long-term, it may also negatively affect their health. If you have different opinions or thoughts, feel free to comment below. That concludes my sharing; thank you for your reading and support.
