Usually, people believe that anemia is a disease, but it is not a single disease, but a disease state with many causes (malnutrition, genetic defects, drug reactions, and chronic diseases) and multiple manifestations (acute, chronic, mild, moderate, severe, and extremely severe). Anemia has an overall impact on people's health and naturally also affects sexual function.
The causes of male sexual dysfunction caused by anemia
Anemia has many effects. For men, when anemia occurs, the number of red blood cells in the blood decreases, and the concentration of hemoglobin decreases, its oxygen carrying capacity will be weakened, resulting in a decrease in the supply of oxygen in tissues and cells, and abnormal functions of sexual organs. In addition, testicles may experience functional abnormalities under low blood oxygen levels, resulting in reduced secretion of male hormones and decreased libido. When anemia occurs, autonomic nervous system function is also prone to disorder, leading to mental tension and psychological erectile dysfunction.
Primary diseases are the foundation of anemia and one of the factors leading to decreased sexual function. For example, chronic kidney diseases, inflammatory bowel diseases, tumors, etc. are prone to cause changes in systemic hormone levels, and the nature and quantity of metabolites are abnormal, thus affecting the microenvironment of testes and penis, which is not conducive to maintaining a good state of male reproductive system. Primary diseases also affect the microenvironment of the brain and interfere with the regulation of the central nervous system on sexual function.
Premature ejaculation after anemia is mainly caused by erectile dysfunction, coupled with mental and psychological abnormalities caused by anemia. Factors such as inflammation of the glans, urethra, and prostate caused by the primary disease or infection of anemia are also the reasons for anemia accompanied by premature ejaculation.
