Sexual dysfunction is a hidden problem for many men. In the past, it was generally believed that sexual dysfunction in men was only related to poor lifestyles such as high mental pressure, sedentary behavior, and frequent sauna use. However, it is currently believed that sexual dysfunction is more or less related to diet. There is a view that excessive consumption of unhealthy foods such as barbecues and pickled foods can also affect male reproductive ability.
Men are stressed out and enjoy barbecues and beer, resulting in sexual dysfunction
Before the age of 30, a "little brother" appeared unable to lift normally and engage in sexual activity. White collar Xiao Wang was diagnosed by a doctor as having sexual dysfunction. According to reports, Xiao Wang is usually busy at work and under great pressure. He doesn't have any special hobbies in his spare time. He just likes to invite a few college classmates to the barbecue shop to eat roast lamb and drink beer. Tracing down the cause of his illness, the doctor said that Xiao Wang's illness was a comprehensive cause, with mental aspects and also related to his usual diet, especially his preference for barbecue and beer.
Experts say that overeating fried fatty foods such as barbecue and sausages can easily cause obesity, affect men's reproductive ability, and make it harder for them to get emotional. In addition, male friends like to drink beer when eating barbecues. Alcohol can inhibit the central nervous system, interfere with the transmission path of sexual impulses to stimulate neural reflex, inhibit penis erection, thereby affecting the normal functioning of sexual functions, and even reduce the levels of testosterone and pituitary hormones in young men.
In addition, pickled products are also dangerous foods that affect men's sexual function. When pickling fish, meat, vegetables, and other foods, it is easy to cause the added salt to react with various substances in the body under the catalysis of enzymes in the body to generate imine carcinogens. Eating too much can cause a certain degree of impotence, and over time, it can also cause cancer, and promote premature aging of the human body.
"Little brother" should seek medical attention if he is not able, focusing on checking testosterone levels
Sexual dysfunction refers to the influence of a male's penis erection, sexual desire, ejaculation, sexual excitement, and certain processes of marital life during sexual life.
Experts say that if male friends feel that their "penis" is not working well, they should seek medical attention in a timely manner. It is recommended that they undergo a six-item examination of male sexual hormones (including luteinizing hormone, follicle stimulating hormone, prolactin, progesterone, estradiol, and testosterone), and undergo adjustment and treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
Among them, male hormones mainly come from testosterone (testosterone), which is secreted by testicular interstitial cells, accounting for about 95% of male hormones, and the other 5% is secreted by the adrenal gland. The role of testosterone is very important for the production of male sexual desire and the maintenance of sexual function. Testosterone is also important for promoting sperm production, maintaining, and promoting the development of secondary sexual characteristics and sexual organs. If there is a lack of testosterone at an early stage, it can affect the development of secondary sexual characteristics, making sexual desire low, or even loss of sexual desire. However, if a man experiences a lack of androgens after maturity, the result may be low libido and sexual dysfunction. At the same time, the concentration of testosterone in human blood varies day and night, with high levels in the morning and low levels in the evening. The reference value range for testosterone is 175-781ng/dl.
