Is Kidney Deficiency Caused by Decreased Sexual Desire in Men? Men over 60 Can Still Have Sexual intercourse
When we have experienced a tense and busy day, we embrace each other and lie in bed, only to find that our desires have disappeared without a trace. If the phenomenon of "rolling sheets" only occurs occasionally, there is no need to worry about it. However, if you haven't had that idea for a long time, you must be vigilant about sexual desire issues. But many people only view decreased libido as a result of kidney deficiency or aging, is that really the case?
Decreased libido does not necessarily mean kidney deficiency
Lying next to my partner, my mind was still thinking about my daytime job, my child's exams, my house's loan... everything, but no idea of intimacy. The self that used to think about intimacy for three days and two has already disappeared without a trace.
Is it caused by kidney deficiency? Kidney deficiency has almost become a box, and if a man has any symptoms, he can put them inside. In traditional Chinese medicine, kidney deficiency is an abstract concept, a functional unit, and not the corresponding organ called "kidney" in Western medicine. It mainly refers to the deficiency of yin and yang of kidney essence, which has a wide range of functions and almost covers the endocrine system, reproductive system, urinary system, motor bone system, respiratory system and other systems in western medicine.
It is unscientific to blindly tonify the kidneys solely based on symptoms of decreased sexual desire.
Aging does not mean a significant decrease in sexual desire
Erectile dysfunction and decreased libido are usually caused by the elderly suffering from hypertension, heart disease, diabetes and depression, and these diseases can be completely treated by medical means.
From a physiological perspective, sexual desire does indeed decrease slightly with age, but it does not show significant signs of decline until the age of 75.
A survey of elderly people aged 60 and above living alone in nursing homes found that 60% of people have had physical contact with the opposite sex in the past few years, such as kissing and hugging. They also want to further develop substantive relationships, but the obstacle is the lack of partners to accompany them.
Male friends with decreased libido can appropriately increase nutrition and change some unhealthy lifestyle habits. When it still cannot work, go to a specialist doctor at a regular hospital for conditioning and avoid using folk remedies.
