Male sexual dysfunction age and causes

Traditional Chinese medicine attributes the main cause of sexual dysfunction to the decline of kidney essence. For example, "Suwen: Ancient Innocence Theory" says: "At the 28th month, the qi is strong, the celestial cumulus arrives, the essence and qi overflow, the yin and yang combine, so there can be children... At the 88th month, the celestial cumulus is exhausted, the essence is low, the kidneys are weak, and the body is extremely weak." Sexual dysfunction is mostly manifested as a decrease in the frequency of sexual impulses and a weakening of sexual ability. So, what should men do if their sexual dysfunction declines? Let's learn more about it through the following article.

(1) Moderate sexual life: Sexual life should be 1-2 times a week, and gradually reduce to 1-2 times a week after the age of 40. Avoid having sex after drinking and excessive sexual activity. Of course, the frequency of sexual intercourse also varies from person to person. It is best to have sex without fatigue, dizziness, backache, leg weakness, etc. the next day.

(2) Keep a cheerful mood, especially before sexual intercourse, you should adjust your mood appropriately, such as talking to each other tenderly, listening to soft music. At the same time, you should believe in your own ability, and avoid being nervous or doubting your sexual function without reason. Fear of failure often leads to failure.

(3) Actively treat diseases that affect sexual function, such as prostatitis, prostatic hypertrophy, menopausal syndrome, chronic nephritis, etc. Wenzhou Tongde experts found that most patients with chronic nephritis have decreased sexual function, and the relationship is proportional to the course of the disease, especially for patients with kidney deficiency.

(4) Use drugs with caution. For example, antihypertensive drugs can reduce sexual desire, so young and middle-aged patients with hypertension should use them with caution. Although Chinese medicines such as deer antlers and animal exodontia have a good effect of strengthening yang and enhancing sexual function, long-term use can damage kidney yin, thereby affecting the deficiency of kidney yang and causing its decline.

(5) Quit smoking. New research shows that smoking is a potential factor leading to impotence. A survey of 116 smokers found that long-term smoking affects blood circulation. In 1986, Canadian scholars used a micro pressure measuring device to measure penile blood pressure in 178 smokers and non-smokers with impotence. They found that one in four smokers had poor penile blood circulation, while only one in 12 non-smokers had this symptom. It can be seen that smoking can damage penile blood circulation. In addition, the study found that people who smoke high-nicotine cigarettes have slower penile erections than those who smoke low-nicotine cigarettes and those who eat mint candies. Therefore, quitting smoking can prevent sexual dysfunction, and those who have problems with smoking and sex life should quit smoking.

What should we do if male sexual function declines? Through the detailed introduction of the above article, I believe you have a certain understanding. After the prime of life, the sexual function of both men and women gradually declines with the increase of age. The series of changes in sexual characteristics that occur as a result are all normal physiological phenomena. However, it is necessary to take some health care measures as soon as possible to delay aging and maintain normal sexual function.
