Causes and diagnosis of decreased sex drive in men
It is typical for a man to maintain intimacy 4 times a week, for some this figure may be higher. Lack of sex can affect a man's hormonal levels. But not an exception is the fact that sexual attraction in men can disappear. It is not possible to unequivocally determine the reason for this, so it is worth taking this issue seriously in order not to give an extra reason to develop impotence.
Reasons for decreased sex drive in men
As scientific studies show, there are many reasons for a decrease in sex drive and why a husband does not have an attraction for his wife. But most of all, such a failure occurs due to psychological factors. That is, it can be from a simple disorder and stress, to a nervous breakdown and other psychological illnesses.
In addition to the psychological factor, other reasons also play a significant role:
- alcohol. One of the features of alcohol is the ability to change a person's consciousness. With alcoholic intoxication, a person no longer experiences the feelings that a solid person feels. Also, prolonged use of alcohol can lead to the fact that sensitive factors begin to creep, and each time sexual intercourse will no longer bring any pleasure. Therefore, if a man has lost attraction, then the reason for this may be alcohol;
- lack of sleep. The problem can appear only when the lack of sleep becomes regular and the person may actually have health problems that are not worth joking with. It has also been proven that normal fatigue almost simply reduces the sex drive for your wife;
- children. If before the appearance of children, no one interfered with partners in sexual intercourse, then with the appearance of a child, problems with this already begin. The problem is especially acute if the apartment is small and the parents are constantly in sight of the child;
- drug treatment. Oddly enough, but if the attraction has disappeared, then this may directly depend on the constant intake of medications. Drugs can affect men in completely different ways, so it is almost impossible to make a list of drugs that reduce sexual activity;
- appearance. Sometimes a man's sexual desire can directly depend on what his spouse is wearing. This factor comes from the fact that before living together, girls try to be as beautiful as possible, do makeup, buy beautiful clothes, and so on. Living together completely changes the girl's attitude to neatness and appearance, where do beautiful outfits and efforts to please a guy go. Of course, such changes can significantly affect a man's attraction. But the way out of this situation is very simple, it will be enough to diversify a boring life with things of a sexual nature, play role-playing games and simply give men beauty; Age-related changes
- overweight. It is not surprising that being overweight, especially if this is already a stage of obesity, can cause a decrease in sexual desire in men. The problem with being overweight can concern not only guys, but also women, because with a person who clearly has problems with being overweight, any desire disappears. Therefore, the weight must always be kept in shape, of course, there may be age-related deviations, but they should only go for the better and paint the partner, and not create a shapeless body;
- erection problems. Such problems can overtake any man at any age and there are also many reasons for this. But if you still have problems with erection, then you need to immediately consult a doctor who will help eliminate the ailment;
- decrease in hormonal levels. Male attraction is regulated by increased testosterone levels. It is known that the peak of the increase comes in adolescence and adolescence, and then, of course, this level decreases. Of course, age does not mean at all that attraction decreases to zero, but if taken into account together with the previous factors, then a decrease in hormonal balance can significantly affect a man's libido;
- relationship problems. This factor is also associated with the psychological consciousness of a man and leads to certain disorders, which ultimately manifest themselves in a decrease in sexual desire for his wife.
As a result, based on the above factors, a man can independently determine the reason why his sexual desire for his wife has disappeared. If there are difficulties with establishing the cause, then, of course, you need to consult a doctor and go directly to the treatment and diagnosis of the restoration of sexual desire.
How to get your sex drive back
The simplest option that will help return sexual desire is to contact a sex therapist, who will directly find out the cause and prescribe treatment. But you can raise your libido level on your own.
Basically it can be done in the following ways:
- normalization of lifestyle;
- traditional medicine;
- drug treatment.
Depending on the reason for the decrease in sexual desire, sex therapists prescribe a course of treatment that does not imply the use of medications. So the essence of this therapy is to change certain aspects of life. The main aspect is the diet. So for an important component of changing this diet is an increase in the amount of trace elements in the body. You also need to add to the menu those products that increase testosterone in the human body and, accordingly, affect the increase in a man's sexual desire. These products include: walnuts, meat, seafood, fruits and vegetables.
It is also important to remember that in order to avoid problems with potency and other problems with sexual activity, you need to forget about beer, which contains female hormones.
Also, doctors recommend giving up all bad habits, which include not only smoking and alcohol, but also junk food. Normalizing sleep and walking before bed will help a man not only recharge with energy, but also get an excess of it, which he wants to throw out in intimacy with his partner.
As for traditional medicine, it is worth noting that its use also has a positive result on male libido. Of course, you can't get a 100% guarantee, but you can try, it won't get any worse from the use of folk and proven remedies.
Folk remedies include:
- pumpkin seeds. The seeds contain elements that significantly raise the level of testosterone in the body and, accordingly, the sexual desire of men;
- walking barefoot on the ground. Scientists have proven that when a person walks barefoot on damp ground, his sex drive is significantly increased. What caused this is still a mystery, but every guy should definitely try such a remedy;
- ginseng root. This ingredient is considered one of the most powerful aphrodosiacs, which is of plant origin. Therefore, the use of the root allows you to raise the male energy to the desired level and, accordingly, raise the mood for intimate relationships;
- St. John's wort. It also has a fairly strong effect on the man's body, in the sense of increasing libido;
- wormwood tinctures.
Thus, besides drug therapy, it is possible to raise a man's sexual desire in different ways. It is worth turning to medications only as a last resort and preferably as prescribed by a doctor.
Medication Treatment
Drug treatment can be roughly divided into two types: hormonal and therapeutic.
Hormone treatment begins with a blood test, which measures the level of testosterone in a person's blood and the amount of pituitary and thyroid hormones. In the event of any deviation, a comprehensive treatment of the disease begins, which is established by the doctor during the test of the tests. It is worth noting that for treatment at the hormonal level, drugs are mainly used that replace testosterone in the body or affect its rise. It also stimulates the production of hormones with the help of special procedures, massage, warming up, and so on.
The therapeutic technique is directly based on the use of drugs that temporarily help to raise male desire.
So these drugs include:
- viagra. This drug has long had positive reviews and is based on the fact that it helps blood flow to the genitals and thus causes an erection for a certain time if the man's sexual desire has disappeared. Basically, the duration of the drug lasts about 6 hours;
- sialas. The drug is developed on the basis of Viagra, but has a more advanced method of action and does not cause side effects;
- impaza. A hormonal drug that helps to increase male libido;
- wookie-wookie. The drug was developed on the basis of an African plant, which has a fairly powerful aphrodisiac.
Thus, if a man's sexual desire has disappeared, then you should not be upset, since modern medicine and science have developed quite a lot of drugs that help to restore the intimate life of a man.
