male sexual healthMale sexual health is an important issue. Sexual dysfunction can wreak havoc on even the most solid romantic relationships. Lifestyle choices are connected to male sexual health. If a man eats well and avoids bad habits like drinking alcohol and smoking, he's less likely to suffer from impotence. Health conditions such as hypogonadism and atherosclerosis can also cause sexual dysfunction in men, as can certain medications. If, for example, you're taking medicine to lower your blood pressure, your libido could be lower than usual.
Sometimes male sexual health can suffer even when a man is in perfect physical health. The cause of sexual dysfunction is often psychological, especially in older men. Job related stress, family problems, performance anxiety and lack of self-esteem can all have a negative impact on libido. Some men are so sensitive that even the sound of the television in the background can cause failure to get an erection.
If you think the cause of your lowered libido may be psychological, make an appointment to see your doctor. They will ask you various questions to help determine the basis of the problem.
