Long-term staying up late affects men's sexual function

Does staying up late often affect men's sexual function? Staying up late for a long time is very harmful to the human body. For men, staying up late for a long time is very easy to cause endocrine imbalance, which will cause some disorders in the urinary system and androgen metabolism disorders. At this time, it will usually affect men's male sexual function, causing decreased libido, erectile dysfunction such as impotence and premature ejaculation, and even some problems are irreversible. Therefore, it is best not to stay up late.

Why staying up late can affect sexual function

1. Androgen metabolism disorder

Many key production reactions in the human body must be carried out during sleep, and testosterone is one of them. Staying up late often consumes a lot of testosterone to maintain vitality. On the other hand, poor or irregular rest affects the production and metabolism of testosterone. Continuous disorder will eventually lead to problems such as decreased male libido and erectile dysfunction. A scientific study in the UK shows that if an adult male does not get enough rest for 5 hours in 7 consecutive days, his testosterone level will decrease significantly and his sexual desire will also be greatly reduced.

2. Decreased sexual function

Many men do not know that during their light sleep at night, the penis will have independent erections, with an average of about 4 times. Just like the car needs to be maintained and cared for during use, it is through the erection at night that the penis gets enough rest and nutrition, and the body's growth hormone is also regularly adjusted. Once this physiological regularity is broken due to frequent staying up late, it will directly affect the recovery of the penis, and the frequency of erections at night and in the morning will decrease, which may cause erectile dysfunction in the long run. A study by British experts and scholars found that men's sleep will affect their erectile function if they sleep less than 6 hours a night. It can increase the risk of erectile dysfunction in middle-aged and elderly men.

3. Immediate harm to male reproductive organs

Most people who often stay up late can avoid sitting for a long time, but men happen to "sit on their own genitals", which can cause prostatitis over time. It can also cause the temperature of the male testicles to rise, the internal blood circulation system to slow down, and the sperm cells to be burned in the desert. Without water and food, it will undoubtedly affect the male's spermatogenesis.
