Introduction
Under normal circumstances, medications that improve sexual performance include Sildenafil Citrate Tablets, Tadalafil Tablets, Dapoxetine Hydrochloride Tablets, Testosterone Undecanoate Soft Capsules, and Compound Xuanju Capsules. Sildenafil Citrate Tablets are selective inhibitors of phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5). They work by inhibiting the activity of PDE5, thereby reducing the degradation of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP).

Generally speaking, medications that enhance sexual function include Sildenafil Citrate Tablets, Tadalafil Tablets, Dapoxetine Hydrochloride Tablets, Testosterone Undecanoate Soft Capsules, and Compound Xuanju Capsules. A detailed analysis is as follows:

  

  1. Sildenafil Citrate Tablets

  Sildenafil Citrate Tablets are selective inhibitors of phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5). They improve erectile function by inhibiting the activity of PDE5, thereby reducing the degradation of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), enhancing nitric oxide-mediated signal transduction, relaxing smooth muscle cells, and increasing blood flow to the corpus cavernosum of the penis.

  2. Tadalafil Tablets

  Tadalafil Tablets work through a mechanism similar to Sildenafil Citrate Tablets. By inhibiting PDE5, tadalafil enhances the nitric oxide-mediated signaling pathway within the corpus cavernosum of the penis, leading to smooth muscle relaxation and increased blood flow into the penis, thereby improving erectile function. Additionally, tadalafil has a longer half-life and can maintain its therapeutic effect for an extended period.

  3. Dapoxetine Hydrochloride Tablets

  Dapoxetine Hydrochloride is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). It increases the concentration of serotonin in the synaptic cleft by inhibiting the function of the serotonin transporter, thereby reducing serotonin reuptake from the synaptic gap. This helps prolong the latency of ejaculation and improve symptoms of premature ejaculation.

  4. Testosterone Undecanoate Soft Capsules

  Male sexual function is closely related to androgen levels. Testosterone undecanoate provides exogenous androgens, which are converted into testosterone and dihydrotestosterone in the body. It promotes the development of male reproductive organs, maintains secondary sexual characteristics, enhances libido and sexual function, and also promotes protein synthesis and increases muscle strength.

  5. Compound Xuanju Capsules

  Compound Xuanju Capsules mainly contain black ants, epimedium, wolfberry fruits, and cnidium monnieri, among other ingredients. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, this medication warms the kidneys, strengthens yang energy, nourishes essence, and dispels wind-dampness. It improves symptoms such as soreness and weakness of the waist and knees, low libido, and erectile dysfunction caused by kidney yang deficiency by regulating the balance of yin and yang in the body, thereby enhancing sexual function.

  All the above medications should be used under the guidance of a physician to avoid self-adjusting the dosage or long-term use. The selection of medication and dosage adjustment should be based on the individual patient's condition to ensure the safety and effectiveness of treatment.
