Why do men have no sexual function?

Generally speaking, men are more concerned about their sexual function. If they find any problems with their sexual function, they will always be very worried. Normally, the younger the man is, the stronger his sexual function will be. As he gets older, his sexual function will gradually decline. However, some men find that they have no sexual function at all. What is the reason for this?

1. Age

In 1992, the National Institute of Health of the United States concluded that age is an indirect high-risk factor closely related to erectile dysfunction. The possibility of erectile dysfunction increases with age. Foreign reports show that the prevalence of erectile dysfunction in men aged 20 to 30 is 7%, and the prevalence of erectile dysfunction in men aged 70 to 79 is 57%.

Although the likelihood of developing erectile dysfunction increases with age, erectile dysfunction is not an inevitable part of the aging process.

2. Psychological factors

Mental illnesses such as schizophrenia, depression, and drugs used to treat depression are all related to erectile dysfunction. 50% to 90% of depressed patients have low libido; on the other hand, sexual dysfunction often causes mental disorders such as depression and anxiety.

3. Disease

① The proportion of patients with cardiovascular diseases such as heart disease and hypertension who suffer from erectile dysfunction is 39% and 15% respectively. Moreover, erectile dysfunction may be a precursor to systemic atherosclerosis.

② Diabetes is one of the diseases most closely related to erectile dysfunction. The prevalence of erectile dysfunction in diabetic patients is 23% to 75%. Those who have had diabetes for more than 10 years are twice as likely to develop erectile dysfunction as those who have had diabetes for less than 5 years. In addition, poor blood sugar control and smoking increase the possibility of the disease.

③The proportion of chronic renal insufficiency accompanied by erectile dysfunction is over 40%.

④ Hyperlipidemia: the higher the serum total cholesterol and the lower the high-density lipoprotein, the greater the possibility of erectile dysfunction.

⑤ Neurological diseases such as multiple sclerosis, stroke, demyelinating disease, and Alzheimer's disease are all related to erectile dysfunction.

⑥ Endocrine diseases such as hypopituitarism, hypogonadism, hyperprolactinemia, adrenal gland disease, hyperthyroidism, and hypothyroidism are related to erectile dysfunction.

4. Drug factors

Medication: Diuretics, blood pressure medications, heart disease medications, tranquilizers, antidepressants, hormones, anticholesterols, and ulcer medications may cause erectile dysfunction.

5. Unhealthy lifestyle

① Smoking. The prevalence of complete erectile dysfunction in heart disease patients who smoke and non-smokers is 56% and 21%, respectively; the prevalence of complete erectile dysfunction in hypertension patients who smoke and non-smokers is 20% and 8.5%, respectively.

② Alcoholism. Alcohol is said to "increase sexual desire and reduce sexual potency". Foreign studies have shown that the prevalence of erectile dysfunction in liver disease patients who are alcoholics and non-alcoholics is 70% and 25% respectively. Moreover, half of the people still cannot restore erectile function after quitting drinking for many years.

③Drug abuse. Studies have shown that the prevalence of erectile dysfunction among heroin users is 32.2%.

6. Surgical injuries, etc.

Trauma, surgical spinal cord injury or surgery, pelvic fracture combined with urethral trauma, abdominoperineal rectal cancer radical resection, retroperitoneal lymph node dissection, aortic reconstruction, pelvic radiotherapy for prostate cancer, and any other trauma or surgery that damages the penile nerve innervation and vascular supply can easily cause erectile dysfunction. Therefore, surgeons should constantly improve surgical procedures and surgical skills to prevent the occurrence of iatrogenic erectile dysfunction.

What to do if a man has poor sexual function

1. Accept it calmly

If it is due to age, it is recommended that you accept it calmly. Human sexual function will tend to decline over time, which is the law of nature.

2. Cure diseases

If the decline in sexual ability is caused by some diseases, for example, congenital kidney deficiency or genital diseases, you need to cure these diseases first and then recover naturally.

3. Replenishing Yang and Yin

The result is that men lack yang energy. At this time, they need to pay attention to using health-preserving methods to replenish yang. While replenishing yang, don't forget to nourish yin. It is best to get more sun exposure.

4. Take some rest

Excessive physical fatigue will naturally lead to a decline in sexual function. At this time, you might as well pay more attention to rest and improve your personal sleep quality. This is the key.

5. Eat a healthy diet

If you have an improper diet, it will also lead to a decline in sexual function. For example, smoking, drinking, staying up late, eating greasy or spicy food will also lead to a decline in sexual function. Excessive obesity will lead to a decline in sexual ability.

6. Optimistic mood

Maintain an optimistic mood. As long as you are in an optimistic state for a long time physically and mentally, your sexual function will also receive healthy information, thus avoiding the occurrence of diseases.
