The main reasons for men’s frigidity

Loss of sexual desire in men may be caused by factors such as psychological stress, hormone imbalance, chronic diseases, drug side effects, and bad living habits.

1. Psychological pressure:

Long-term work stress, family conflicts or emotional problems such as anxiety and depression can inhibit sexual desire. Hyperexcitability of the cerebral cortex may interfere with sex hormone secretion, leading to decreased sexual interest. Poor relationship quality and traumatic sexual experiences can also cause psychological disorders. It is recommended to relieve stress and improve partner communication through psychological counseling and mindfulness training.

2. Hormone level imbalance:

Insufficient secretion of testosterone is a common physiological reason. After the age of 40, male testosterone decreases by 1%-2% every year. Diseases such as thyroid dysfunction and pituitary tumors can also affect hormone secretion. It is accompanied by symptoms such as fatigue and loss of muscle mass. After confirmation through blood testing, hormone replacement therapy is performed under the guidance of a doctor.

3. Chronic diseases:

Metabolic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension may damage blood vessels and nerve function. Cardiovascular disease can indirectly reduce sexual desire when it causes erection difficulties. Such patients are often accompanied by symptoms such as dizziness and numbness of the limbs. Controlling the primary disease is the key to improvement, and regular monitoring of blood sugar and blood pressure is required.

4. Drug side effects:

Antidepressants such as paroxetine and antihypertensive drugs such as Betaloc may interfere with sexual response. Chemotherapy drugs and hormone drugs can also affect sexual function. If you experience significant loss of sexual desire after taking the medication, you should consult your doctor to adjust your medication regimen and do not stop taking the medication on your own.

3. Bad living habits:

Staying up late for a long time and drinking alcohol will inhibit testosterone synthesis, and nicotine will damage vascular endothelial function. When a lack of exercise leads to obesity, adipose tissue accelerates androgen conversion. It is recommended to go to bed before 23:00, do 150 minutes of aerobic exercise every week, and avoid excessive alcohol intake.

Foods rich in zinc such as oysters and nuts can be appropriately added to your daily diet. Zinc is involved in the synthesis of testosterone. Regular strength training such as squats and deadlifts can stimulate hormone secretion. Partners should avoid blaming and work together to create an atmosphere of relaxed intimacy. If the symptoms last for more than 3 months or are accompanied by other physical abnormalities, you need to go to the men's department or endocrinology department for a systematic examination to rule out organic diseases.
