What causes the decline in male sexual life?

Male sexual dysfunction refers to frequent spermatorrhea, impotence, and premature ejaculation. Frequent spermatorrhea refers to the symptom of nocturnal ejaculation not caused by sexual intercourse. Among them, nocturnal ejaculation is called dream ejaculation, and frequent spermatorrhea without dreams, or even semen leakage when awake, is called spermatorrhea. Impotence refers to the inability of the penis to erect, which means that during intercourse, the erection time of the male reproductive organ is short or flaccid. Premature ejaculation refers to the inability of men to last long during intercourse and ejaculation at the first touch.

These three symptoms are different, but the diagnosis and treatment are similar. Frequent spermatorrhea and premature ejaculation are mostly caused by low-fat imbalance or excessive sexual intercourse, frequent masturbation, improper diet, dampness and heat in the lower part of the body, etc., which damage the kidney essence and prevent it from being fixed and absorbed; impotence is mostly caused by the decline of the life gate fire or damage to the lungs and stomach or fear of hurting the yang.

Modern science believes that sexual dysfunction is related to the cerebral cortex and is more common in sexual neurasthenia.

Main performance

Most of the manifestations of sexual dysfunction are the decrease in the frequency of sexual excitement and the weakening of sexual function. Generally speaking, the body begins to have sexual life and reproductive functions when it grows and develops around the age of 20. The male sexual function is at its peak at the age of 30-40, and gradually decreases after the age of 50. If the male sexual function gradually decreases before the age of 50, it means that the male sexual function of the body has just begun to decline. However, the individual differences in male sexual function are very large. Some have already developed impotence at the age of 30, and some still have sexual desire at the age of 80. Therefore, the process of sexual dysfunction actually starts at the age of 30.

The level of male reproductive function depends to a certain extent on the number of sperm in the semen. The ability to produce sperm generally decreases from the age of 40, and the capacity of the testicles also decreases relatively from the age of 50. According to a statistical survey conducted by British expert Jerem on men aged 60-70, only 68.5% of them found sperm in their semen. With the increase of age, the secretion of the male hormone testosterone also changes.

The regularity is that it gradually increases during adolescence, reaches its peak at 30-40 years old, and gradually decreases after 50 years old. The decrease in estrogen secretion causes the male sexual function to gradually decrease. Of course, this weakening of male sexual function is not entirely caused by the decrease in estrogen. Psychological disorders such as anxiety, anxiety, fear, etc. also play a key role.

In addition, frequent sexual intercourse causes an imbalance in the metabolism of adrenal growth hormone and thyroid-stimulating hormone in the anterior pituitary gland. These growth hormones play a key buffering role in life activities. If their metabolism is unbalanced, the functions of the body's central nervous system and other systems will be affected, resulting in decreased sexual function, etc. When people get older, they usually take various antihypertensive drugs, which is also one of the causes of impotence.

Traditional Chinese medicine attributes the decline of sexual function to the decline of kidney qi. For example, "Suwen: Ancient Innocence" says: "At the age of 28, blood and qi are just beginning to form, and the celestial essence arrives, the primordial essence overflows, and the yang and yin combine, so that children can be born. At the age of 88, the celestial essence is exhausted, the essence is low, the kidney function declines, and the body is extremely thin." Low essence cannot be transformed into qi, and qi is yang, which is the main manifestation of the function of kidney qi. When qi declines, male sexual function also declines.

Erectile dysfunction: Erectile dysfunction refers to the condition in which the penis cannot erect strongly enough to penetrate the vagina or the penis cannot remain hard enough to have a satisfying sexual intercourse. The prevalence of erectile dysfunction is about 50% among adult men.

Male ejaculation function problems: Premature ejaculation is the most common male ejaculation function problem, with a prevalence rate of more than 1/3 of adult men. There is still controversy over the definition of premature ejaculation. It is generally believed that it is normal for a healthy man to ejaculate 2 to 6 minutes after the penis is inserted into the vagina.
