Sex life can not only maintain a harmonious marriage, but also be of great help to health. However, many men are prone to low sexual desire after marriage. The causes of low sexual desire in men are complex. All serious systemic diseases, chronic diseases, and excessive fatigue can reduce sexual excitement and lead to low sexual desire. The following is a detailed introduction to the causes and countermeasures of low sexual desire in men.

How many invisible killers of low sexual desire in men do you know?

1. Low androgen levels

Androgens not only maintain male spermatogenic function and secondary sexual characteristics, but also increase the excitability of the sexual center of the cerebral cortex, stimulate sexual desire, and produce sexual responses. Low androgen levels can directly lead to low sexual desire in men, sometimes accompanied by erectile dysfunction. For this type of patients, we need to conduct corresponding sex hormone measurements and, if necessary, provide androgen supplementation and replacement therapy so that the patient can return to a normal sexual life.

2. Drugs

A variety of drugs are directly related to low sexual desire, such as antipsychotic drugs, antihypertensive drugs (reserpine, propranolol, etc.), hormonal drugs (estrogens, antiandrogens), etc., if necessary. Communicate with relevant specialists to adjust the type and dosage of medications.

3. High mental and psychological pressure

The fast pace of modern life, fierce competition, high work pressure, and complex interpersonal relationships have caused extremely heavy psychological pressure on adult men, especially those with fragile and nervous psychological qualities, resulting in recurring anxiety and depression. A state of psychological disorder that interferes with the function of the cerebral cortex, resulting in low sexual desire. For this type of patients, we need to give more spiritual care and at the same time emphasize the active role of female spouses in treatment.

4. Personal living habits

Long-term alcohol abuse can lead to chronic liver poisoning, which can increase estrogen levels in the blood and reduce androgen levels, leading to low sexual desire. In addition, lack of sleep, malnutrition, etc. may also lead to low sexual desire. Improvements can be made by improving bad living habits.

5. Staple food that is too delicate

Eating too much pasta and other refined carbohydrates will rapidly increase blood sugar, causing an increase in estrogen and a decrease in male hormones, thereby weakening sexual desire.

6. Cold medicine

Some ingredients in cold medicines, such as ketamine and pseudoephedrine, can affect sexual desire, cause ED (erectile dysfunction), and may also cause male ejaculation problems.

7. Beer belly

An apple-shaped body with a thickened waistline will reduce the sex hormones secreted by the liver and directly affect male sexual performance.

How should men increase their sexual desire?

1. The choice of underwear is very important to men’s health. The testicles need a low-temperature and ventilated environment. Therefore, choosing pure cotton underwear with good breathability can help men protect their sexual organs and reduce damage to their reproductive capabilities.

2. Smoking, drinking, and staying up late are all fatal killers of sexual performance. If you want to maintain your sexual desire, it is very important to get rid of these bad habits.

3. Pay attention to establishing a harmonious and happy family environment, and encourage couples to communicate more to eliminate psychological pressure.

4. Adjust your life, maintain an optimistic and cheerful attitude, stay away from negative emotions such as tension, anxiety, and depression, and develop healthy living and eating habits.

5. Once sexual desire decreases, you should go to a regular hospital in time to find out the cause of the decrease in sexual desire through relevant examinations. Symptomatic treatment can restore male sexual desire.

6. To strengthen sperm, one must first strengthen the heart. Sexual ability is closely related to heart function. If cardiovascular problems occur, seek medical treatment in time to avoid affecting sexual function.

7. When choosing medications, try to choose more scientific and reasonable ones, and avoid using medications indiscriminately because you are eager to treat the disease. Premature ejaculation is mostly caused by accumulation of diseases. You must not rush for quick results and use large tonic medicines, or use aphrodisiac drugs with unknown ingredients. Instead, you should adjust slowly.
