Will men's sexual ability decline at 40?

Although it is said that men in their forties are more like flowers, because male friends at this stage are also very successful and are also ideal partners for many unmarried girls, in fact, men at this age are a little weaker than some younger guys. In particular, the decline in sexual ability will make some men lose a little confidence. At this stage, many male friends also have various bad hobbies. Let me briefly introduce them.

As the saying goes, "Men are in their prime at 41," however, from a physiological function perspective, it can also be said that "Men reach a hurdle at 41." After the age of 40, the level of male hormones in men's bodies will gradually decrease with age, resulting in male menopausal symptoms such as decreased physical strength, irritability, sweating, anxiety, and decreased sexual ability. This is medically known as late-onset hypogonadism (LOH). Surveys show that more than 40% of men over 40 years old in my country suffer from LOH.

However, most people still have misunderstandings or blind spots about this. For example, when sexual ability declines, the first thing people will do is buy some health supplements that claim to have aphrodisiac effects. But in fact, the food and drug supervision department has never approved any health food that improves sexual function. In terms of conventional treatment, in fact, just as some women can adopt estrogen replacement therapy after entering menopause, menopausal men can also consider oral supplementation of androgen to improve menopausal symptoms, improve quality of life, and reduce and delay the occurrence of senile diseases. However, experts remind that during the treatment process, close attention should be paid to the possible adverse reactions of testosterone supplementation therapy, and prostate examinations should be performed before and every year after treatment.

Some trace elements and minerals, such as iron, zinc, calcium, etc. Severe zinc deficiency can lead to immature development of sexual organs, decreased sperm count, increased deformity rate, decreased libido, and even infertility. Foods such as oysters, animal offal, lean meat, and milk are good sources of zinc.

Some vitamins, such as vitamin A and vitamin E, both have the effect of delaying the decline of sexual function. Vitamin E is beneficial to the production of sperm and increases sperm motility. Vitamin A mainly comes from animal liver, as well as carrots, pumpkins, sweet potatoes and tomatoes; Vitamin E mainly comes from egg yolks, beans, sesame seeds, peanuts and vegetable oils.

Men in their forties should do some physical exercise and try to change some of their previous bad habits. Smoking and drinking are bad habits. This will not only affect the improvement of their sexual ability, but also be bad for their health. In order to maintain the same sexual ability as young people, they still need to live a reasonable life and do physical exercise reasonably.
