Relevant studies at home and abroad have found that sexual dysfunction is common among patients with sleep apnea syndrome, and the severity of sexual dysfunction is closely related to the severity of sleep apnea syndrome.

An organization analyzed more than 100 adult male patients with moderate to severe sleep apnea syndrome last year and found that all of these patients had varying degrees of sexual dysfunction.

Why does moderate to severe sleep apnea cause male sexual dysfunction? The related mechanism between the two is not yet clear. However, theoretical research explains that because you hold your breath when snoring, holding your breath will cause hypoxia. Repeated hypoxia will affect the secretion of sex hormones in the hypothalamus and pituitary gland in the brain, because the hypothalamus and pituitary gland are the areas that control and regulate the secretion of sex hormones. "Hypoxia causes damage to vascular endothelial function, affecting the synthesis and release of nitric oxide in the body, and nitric oxide plays a key role in erection." Director Qin Guangyue said, in addition, repeated hypoxia and sleep structure disorders can cause Nervous system disorders may also affect erectile function.

What are the causes of sexual dysfunction

1) Male patients with sexual dysfunction and infertility are in an overly excited mood. Nervousness and excitement can cause men to ejaculate prematurely during sex. Although this also belongs to the category of male sexual dysfunction and infertility, it is entirely caused by psychological factors. This type of male sexual dysfunction and infertility can be cured without taking medicine.

2) The relationship between husband and wife of male patients with sexual dysfunction and infertility is disharmonious. Some men with sexual dysfunction and infertility themselves are hostile to their wives or have a sense of inferiority. This negative emotion is also one of the causes of male sexual dysfunction and infertility. It doesn't matter if men with this type of sexual dysfunction and infertility don't take medicine.

3) Male sexual dysfunction and infertility patients have too strong sexual requirements. Some men experience male sexual dysfunction and infertility because they have not had sex for the first time or have not had sex for a long time. All of you gentlemen can think back to your first time. I estimate that nine out of ten were "quick shooters". There is no need to take medicine for this kind of male sexual dysfunction and infertility.

4) Male patients with sexual dysfunction and infertility attach too much importance to health care. Many male patients with sexual dysfunction and infertility are not caused by excessive indulgence. On the contrary, they are caused by overemphasis on health care. Some men with sexual dysfunction and infertility believe that "one drop of sperm, ten drops of blood." It is believed that semen is the vitality of the human body and not a drop should be wasted unless absolutely necessary. This slightly morbid concept of health maintenance can also cause male sexual dysfunction and infertility.

Daily dietary points for patients with sexual dysfunction

1. In order to improve the patient's condition, it is hoped that the patient can pay attention to his diet and appropriately increase the intake of high-quality protein, because high-quality protein can provide various amino acids needed for human sperm production. Some animal foods themselves contain some sex hormones, which are beneficial to increasing sexual desire and the production of semen and sperm.

2. Nowadays, most men are losing weight, but they ignore the dangers of losing weight, because the low body fat content can have a certain impact on men's health, such as decreased sexual desire, so they suffer from dietary problems. Can increase the content of appropriate fats. Due to the reduced intake of essential fatty acids in men, sperm production is restricted, sexual desire is reduced, and even infertility can occur.

3. Male patients should pay attention to supplementing vitamins and trace elements, because these are nutrients that maintain human metabolism. Vitamins A and E are vitamins related to maintaining sexual function and delaying aging. They play a decisive role in promoting testicular development, increasing sperm production and increasing their motility. Vitamin C also has a positive effect on the recovery of sexual function. It is rich in fresh dates, hawthorns, green peppers, tomatoes and other fruits.
