Reduced sexual desire is a matter that a large number of men hesitate to speak about, and it is usually seen as a result of increased age, or as a result of stress in one period of life. However, in medicine, a state of reduced sexual desire that arises continuously may not be merely a matter of the emotions or of the relationship, but may reflect physiological factors that can be assessed, such as the level of the male hormone, the state of the metabolism, and the health of the blood vessels
This article will explain what factors reduced sexual desire in men may arise from, when it may be a change according to age or to the context of life, and when it should be considered to come in for a medical assessment, in order to understand the cause and lay out a plan of care suitably
How does sexual desire in men change naturally
The sexual desire of a man is the sum of several factors — the level of the hormone testosterone, the working of the central nervous system, the quality of the system of blood vessels, sleep, and the mental state overall. A slight change with age is a matter that can be met normally, but a clear and continuous decrease to the point of affecting the relationship or the quality of life should be considered as to what factor lies behind it
The causes that may be connected physiologically
The decrease of the male hormone
After the age of 30 years, the level of the hormone testosterone decreases by an average of 1–2% per year. This decrease directly affects sexual desire, and may appear together with other symptoms, such as chronic exhaustion, reduced muscle mass, and changeable mood
The state of the system of blood vessels
Sexual capability and sexual desire are not completely separate from each other. When the system of blood vessels begins to come to a state of degeneration, the response of the sexual organ to stimuli reduces, and when the body does not respond as it used to, the desire may also gradually reduce following on from that
A state of chronic inflammation and accumulated stress
Chronic stress and inflammation at the level of the cell can disturb the balance of the endocrine system and affect sexual desire
Other factors that should be considered as well
A state of abnormal sleep, chronic diseases that have not yet received a diagnosis, side effects from some kinds of medicine, and mental states are all factors that may have a role as well
The signals that indicate an assessment should be received
If sexual desire reduces continuously for many months, particularly when it arises together with other symptoms, such as an erection that is not full, chronic exhaustion, increased weight around the waist, or reduced quality of sleep, a physician should be consulted in order to receive a systematic assessment. Assessment from the first stage will help distinguish the cause clearly and design an approach to care that suits the specific context of each individual
The approach to the assessment at PYONG MEN
The assessment of a state of reduced sexual desire at PYONG MEN is carried out in a framework that covers several systems that are connected with one another, covering a deep and comprehensive blood examination of the hormones (Comprehensive Endocrine & Metabolic Panel), the assessment of the proportions of the body, and when there are accompanying symptoms of capability, an additional ultrasound examination of the system of blood circulation may be considered. From the result of the assessment, the medical team designs an approach to care specific to the individual, which may cover the restoration of the system of blood vessels, of the system of the cells, and of the muscles of the pelvic floor, within a time frame of about 2–3 months
The point of view that PYONG MEN uses in the care
PYONG MEN considers a state of reduced sexual desire systemically, not as a problem limited to a single point. The medical team gives importance to a clear diagnosis before choosing an approach, so that the plan of care obtained corresponds with the real cause and with the context of each person
In short summary
- Reduced sexual desire in men may arise from several factors, not limited merely to the matter of age
- The decrease of the hormone testosterone, a state of degeneration of the blood vessels, chronic stress, and abnormal sleep are all factors that may be connected
- If the symptoms are continuous and affect the quality of life, receiving a medical assessment should be considered
- A complete assessment must rely on a blood examination of several hormones together with a clinical assessment
- The approach to care should be designed specific to the individual according to the cause found
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
1. Is reduced sexual desire a normal matter of age or not A slight decrease with age can be met normally, but a clear and continuous decrease to the point of affecting the quality of life should receive an assessment, because other physiological factors may be connected
2. Is reduced sexual desire related to a state of weakened capability (ED) or not It may be related, because both states usually have joint factors, such as the level of the hormones or the health of the blood vessels. A medical assessment will help distinguish whether both things arise together or are separate causes
3. What is examined in order to find the cause of reduced sexual desire The assessment covers a deep blood examination of the hormones, the assessment of the proportions of the body, and may include a scan of the system of blood circulation in some cases, depending on the specific symptoms of each person
4. To what level does adjusting the way of life help Sleeping enough, exercising regularly, and managing stress may help support the balance of the hormones to a certain level, but if the symptoms are continuous, a medical assessment is still a suitable choice
5. How does PYONG MEN care for this state The medical team begins from a systematic assessment in order to identify the causes that are connected. After that it designs an approach to care specific to the individual that covers the several systems that are connected
