Once men discover sexual problems, they should seek medical attention in a timely manner to see if there are the following five causes. "Otherwise, if you don't see a doctor in time, the curative effect will definitely be very poor."
Decreased androgen secretion: Some people's testicles do not "shrink", but androgen secretion still decreases due to aging. Doctors can detect problems through blood tests.
Penis curved: The surface layer of the cavernous body of the penis hardens, and the penis becomes increasingly curved, especially after an erection, making it difficult to perform sexual intercourse. Although this is rare among Oriental people, once it occurs, it can only be treated through surgery.
Vascular problems: Blood vessels gradually harden and narrow, resulting in a decrease in blood flow. This way, even if sexual desire is high, erectile status will still be compromised. At this point, patients should take erectile promoting drugs under the guidance of a doctor.
Nervous disorders: elderly men will have chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension and hyperlipidemia. If not well controlled, it can affect neural function and hinder erection.
Small testicles: With aging, some people may experience testicular shrinkage. The testicle is the main organ that secretes androgens, and changes in its volume naturally affect the amount of androgen secreted, thereby controlling sexual desire. This narrowing is a physiological change that cannot be reversed, but can be compensated for by androgen supplementation.
Although some sexual problems are difficult to avoid, improving living habits can prevent them from appearing prematurely. Such as eating less high-fat foods, exercising regularly, quitting smoking, limiting alcohol, and actively treating chronic diseases.
