Factors that affect sexual function, stay away from these

The quality of sexual function is also related to the quality of sex life, and it also has a certain impact on people's lives. Many factors may affect sexual function, such as improper diet or some harmful substances. Poor mental state will also affect sexual function and cause damage to the body.

1. Cigarettes

"Smoking is harmful to health" and it also has a negative impact on sexual desire. The reason why smoking leads to a decrease in sexual desire is that the harmful substances contained in smoke can harden blood vessels, block blood circulation, and may cause impotence. Even if you are lucky enough not to have such a phenomenon, medical research also points out that smoking also affects the penis, making it unable to straighten and bend, affecting normal sexual intercourse. For women, smoking affects the stability of menstruation, so it is better to smoke less.

2. Heavy metals

I believe everyone is familiar with this, because heavy metals not only affect sexual function, but also have serious harm to physical health. Among them, lead, mercury and cadmium have the greatest impact on sexual function. When the body takes in too much lead, it will penetrate into the semen or eggs and be stored, affecting the secretion of reproductive hormones, causing a decrease in sperm count, deformity, and reduced fertility. Mercury will cause problems such as decreased libido and impotence. If it is serious, it will also cause male infertility. Cadmium will affect the secretion of sex hormones and cause damage to the liver and kidneys. How can there be sexual interest?

3. Exercise bike

When men go to exercise, health bikes are the first choice for many people. But don't think that the longer you ride, the healthier you will be. If you ride for too long, your scrotum will be worn, stones will form, and even your seminal vesicle will swell, which may affect your sexual function. The main reason is the bicycle seat. Because the seat is not only hard, but also protrudes in the front, men will often accidentally touch their scrotum when they ride on it. Long-term collision will not only damage the nerves and soften the scrotum, but also cause the seminal vesicle and rete testis to swell. The most serious problem is that the blood circulation is affected, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the penis, which will affect erectile function.

4. Stress and anxiety

Stress, anxiety, and erectile dysfunction go hand in hand like best friends. High blood pressure and high cholesterol increase the risk of male sexual dysfunction; when a man is under high stress and high anxiety, his blood pressure increases, which reduces his sexual ability. At the same time, stress damages the body in a vicious cycle. When a man suffers from erectile dysfunction due to stress, it makes him more stressed, which further leads to more sexual dysfunction problems.
