The strength of men's sexual desire is actually related to it

For men, sex is like a gas station in life, which can make them full of confidence and gain strength. However, in clinical practice, there are often some men who come to the doctor because of decreased sexual desire. They are constantly suspicious about this all day long, and it even affects their normal life and work.

In medicine, we generally follow one standard to judge male sexual dysfunction, which is that adult males lack sexual interest or desire for sexual life for at least three consecutive months. In fact, normal men's requirements for sex life vary greatly from person to person, just like drinking. A good drinker can drink 1 jin of liquor, while a poor drinker may not be able to handle 1 liang. Therefore, whether the sexual desire is reduced can only be compared with oneself, and cannot be compared horizontally with others. There are many factors that affect male sexual desire, the most common ones are the following.

Certain organic diseases. If you experience decreased libido, you should first go to a regular hospital to rule out some organic diseases. Reproductive hormones, including androgens and prolactin, can be checked to rule out diseases such as hypogonadism, microtestis, hyperprolactinemia, and hypopituitarism. In addition, there are some diseases that can cause decreased libido, such as cirrhosis, tuberculosis and reproductive system tumors.

Some medications may cause a decrease in libido. Such as cold medicine (containing diphenhydramine, pseudoephedrine, etc.), sedatives (such as barbiturates, etc.), hypnotics (such as diazepam, etc.) and antihypertensive drugs (which lower heart rate and blood flow and may affect blood supply to sexual organs).

Problems in the relationship between partners can also have a great impact on sexual desire. The generation of human sexual desire contains both animal instinct and love, so sex and love are combined to form the fixed combination of sex. If there are problems in the relationship between partners, such as quarreling every day, or both sides ignoring each other and engaging in a cold war, it may lead to a decrease in sexual desire.

Negative emotions can lead to decreased sexual desire. The main negative emotions include: bad sexual history, a sense of guilt about past masturbation history, career setbacks or family changes, etc. As negative emotions recover, sexual desire will gradually recover.

Bad habits can also lead to decreased libido. Excessive drinking and long-term smoking may affect the secretion of male testosterone, thereby affecting sexual desire.

Ageing can also take a toll on your libido. Male sexual desire reaches its peak during puberty, begins to decline between the ages of 30 and 40, and significantly weakens after the age of 50.

In addition, poor living environment can also affect sexual desire. If there is no sexual desire or sexual life for three consecutive months, men should go to a regular hospital for a physical examination to facilitate early detection of related diseases and make adjustments under the guidance of a doctor.
