Do men become frigid when they are under a lot of pressure? Secrets that men and women must know

Sexual indifference has always been one of the important factors of disharmony between couples. Many people attribute it to the stress of life and work. So, will men really become sexually indifferent when they are under great pressure? Let's take a look at the reasons that cause men's sexual indifference!

Low male libido can lead to psychological problems and can easily lead to a vicious cycle

The professor pointed out that male hyposexuality refers to adult men's persistent or repeated lack of interest in sexual fantasies and sexual activities, and the appearance of sexual desire and sexual indifference that are inconsistent with their age, which in turn leads to a decrease in the level of sexual behavior expression and weakened sexual activity ability, or even a complete loss of sexual desire. Throughout history, all over the world, good male sexual function or even mild hyperactivity is a glory that men should boast of, but the weakening of sexual activity ability makes male patients with hyposexuality very likely to feel inferior and humiliated, causing psychological disorders such as depression, and falling into a vicious cycle of "low sexual desire → depression → worsening low sexual desire → more depression". For male patients, low sexual desire is more likely to endanger their lives and social interactions.

Five factors that cause low libido in men

Mental stress is the first to be affected, and bad personal living habits cannot be ignored

The professor pointed out that there are many main reasons for low male sexual desire, such as psychological factors, low male hormone levels, chronic diseases, drug factors and bad personal living habits, among which psychological factors are the main ones.

High mental and psychological pressure. The fast pace of modern life, fierce competition, high work pressure, and complex interpersonal relationships have caused great psychological pressure on adult men, especially those with fragile and nervous psychological qualities, which will cause anxiety and depression to intertwine and recur in a state of psychological disorder, interfere with the function of the cerebral cortex, and thus lead to low sexual desire. For such patients, we should give more mental care and emphasize the positive role of female spouses in treatment.

Low androgen levels. Androgens not only maintain male spermatogenesis and secondary sexual characteristics, but also increase the excitability of the cerebral cortex, stimulate sexual desire, and produce sexual responses. Low androgen levels can directly lead to low male sexual desire, sometimes accompanied by erectile dysfunction.

Chronic diseases. Severe systemic acute and chronic diseases can lead to low male libido. Chronic active hepatitis, cirrhosis, chronic renal failure, congestive heart failure, etc. can also destroy the normal hormone metabolism process, causing the patient's physiological and psychological functions to decline or even fail, thereby leading to a decrease or even disappearance of the subjective desire and interest in sexual activities.

Medication. Many medications are directly related to low libido, such as antipsychotics, antihypertensives (reserpine, anabolic steroids, spironolactone, etc.), hormone drugs (estrogen, anti-androgen drugs), etc. If necessary, you can communicate with relevant specialists to adjust the type and dosage of medication.

Bad personal living habits. Long-term alcoholism can lead to chronic liver poisoning, which increases the estrogen level in the blood and reduces the androgen level, thus leading to low libido. In addition, lack of sleep and malnutrition may also lead to low libido. Improving bad living habits can improve the situation.
