Sexual frigidity has always been one of the important factors causing disharmony between couples. With the acceleration of social rhythm, many people attribute it to excessive pressure in life and work. Do men really become frigid when under high pressure?
The Causes of Low Sexual Desire in Men
1、 Mental stress is the greatest, and personal habits cannot be ignored.
There is a lot of mental pressure. Modern life has a fast pace, intense competition, high work pressure, and complex interpersonal relationships, which bring enormous psychological pressure to adult men, especially those with fragile and tense psychological qualities, resulting in a state of anxiety and oppression intertwined with repeated psychological obstacles, hindering the function of the cerebral cortex and low sexual desire. For such people, we should give more spiritual love and emphasize the positive role of female spouses in treatment.
2、 Low levels of androgens.
Androgens can not only maintain male reproductive function and secondary sexual characteristics, but also increase the excitability of the cerebral cortex center, stimulate sexual desire, and produce sexual responses. Low levels of androgens, low libido in males, and sometimes accompanied by erectile dysfunction.
In recent years, clinical practice has found that many men have increasingly high levels of estrogen, some of which are 2-3 times higher than normal. Zhou Shaohu revealed that this situation has even formed a trend of youthfulness. Previously, it was middle-aged and elderly people in their forties who saw sexual dysfunction and infertility, but now the number of young people in their thirties is also increasing.
The significant increase in estrogen levels in men is mainly related to environmental pollution, illegal food additives, and unhealthy lifestyles. Pesticides, fertilizers, various insecticides, plastics, rubber products, exhaust gas, waste residue, etc. These toxic and harmful substances are absorbed by crops and accumulated from poultry and livestock to the human body. Due to the close chemical structure of these substances to estrogen, the level of estrogen accumulated in the human body is also increasing.
3、 Chronic diseases reduce sexual desire.
Serious systemic acute and chronic diseases (cancer, hypotension, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes, etc.), male libido is low. Chronic active hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, chronic renal failure, congestive heart failure, and other conditions can also disrupt normal hormone metabolism, slow down blood flow within the body (including the penis), and quickly become bored. Disorders in the secretion of the thyroid gland and pituitary gland.
4、 Medications.
Multiple drugs are directly related to low libido, such as antipsychotic drugs, antihypertensive drugs (such as reserpine, antihypertensive drugs, and analgesics), hormonal drugs (such as estrogen and antiandrogenic drugs), etc. If necessary, relevant experts can be contacted to adjust the type and dosage of drugs.
