The effect of fat on potency

The deposition of excess fat has a negative effect on a man's sexual health. Obesity is a severe functional disorder accompanied by the active formation of adipose tissue in the abdomen, thighs and mammary glands.

Chronic metabolic disorder can occur in men of any age. Pathology entails an undermining of immunity, an increase in the incidence of general morbidity and mortality. Excessive accumulation of adipose tissue is the result of an imbalance between incoming and outgoing calories. Insufficient energy consumption and increased nutritional value of products leads to the storage of triglycerides in adipose tissue.

Causes of obesity

An increased risk of obesity is noted among the following patient categories:

• persons with a sedentary lifestyle
• men with decreased or increased activity of lipogenesis enzymes
• patients with endocrine lesions (insulinoma, hypothyroidism and hypogonadism)
• persons with psychological eating disorders (psychogenic overeating)
• men suffering from increased susceptibility to stressful situations, lack of sleep
• patients who constantly use strong psychotropic drugs

Typical Signs of Obesity

It is possible to identify the presence of obesity in a patient by such characteristic symptoms as:

• overweight. Fat deposits are observed in the occiput and neck, shoulders and chest, abdomen and back, thighs and pelvic area. The patient develops a double chin, pronounced hanging folds appear on the abdomen
• umbilical and inguinal hernias
• intense pain in the spine and joints, arthrosis of the ankle and knee joints
• weakness , rapid fatigue with minimal exertion
• increased breathing and heart rate after walking
• sweating and peripheral edema
• irritability and nervousness, decreased self-esteem
• decreased libido, erectile dysfunction
• chronic constipation, slowing down of metabolic processes and flatulence
• heartburn and disturbed gastric microflora
• hypertension, tachycardia and deaf heart sounds
• respiratory and heart failure
• chronic cholecystitis and pancreatitis, as well as liver damage
• the development of skin lesions (acne, eczema, furunculosis), the occurrence of a local rash in the face and neck area, as well as back, shoulders and chest
• dry skin, stretch marks

Complications of obesity

• severe depression
• diabetes mellitus
• arthritis and arthrosis
• cholelithiasis
• liver cirrhosis

• ischemic stroke or myocardial infarction

Impotence after obesity

A significant increase in body weight entails a decrease in male fertility. The risk of developing oncological lesions of the prostate gland and the colon is highlighted. The rate of production of sex hormones decreases, testicular dysfunction occurs. Patients have polycystic ovary syndrome. This endocrine lesion is characterized by abnormal enlargement of the genitals due to the formation of many small bubbles filled with fluid. The patient ceases to feel sexual arousal, the strength and duration of erection decreases, the desire to enter into an intimate relationship with the opposite sex disappears, and a feeling of his own inferiority arises. Thus, in obese patients, sexual potency decreases due to complex (organic and psychotic) reasons. If a woman suffers from overweight, then her menstrual cycle malfunctions. A severe degree of metabolic disease can cause stoppage of menstruation, the development of breast, ovarian and uterine cancer, as well as infertility.
