Male Obesity And Problems In The Intimate Sphere

Problems with erection and a decrease in sex drive can occur due to extra pounds.

Problems with erection and a decrease in sex drive can occur due to extra pounds.

Obesity can be a risk factor for the development of a number of diseases. For example, hypertension, atherosclerosis or diabetes are more likely to occur in people who have a large number of extra pounds. Obesity leads to a change in the hormonal balance in the body, which triggers a number of negative processes. One of the consequences of obesity in men is the deterioration of the quality of sexual life.

If in women, the area of ​​deposition of excess fat is primarily the hips and chest, then men "store" fat mainly in the abdomen. A large round male belly not only violates the harmonious proportions of the physique, but also indicates that the probability of "earning" problems in the sexual sphere has increased dramatically for this man.

What makes men fat?

The main reasons for gaining extra pounds are:

• excess intake of calories
• decrease in the amount of male hormones in the body
• sedentary lifestyle
• heredity

These factors are often present simultaneously and act in a complex manner.

Do hormones "make" you gain weight?

The appearance of extra kilograms in men is largely related to the age-related decrease in the production of male hormones in the body. Testosterone regulates sexual function and at the same time is necessary for fat burning. With age, its production in a man's body decreases and this can cause the appearance of extra pounds. But obesity itself also provokes a decrease in testosterone in men. The fact is that substances are formed in adipose tissue that block the formation of male hormones, and the amount of male hormones decreases dramatically.

Alarming symptoms

There are a number of symptoms that indicate possible problems with the hormonal background, these are:

• decreased pleasure from sex
• decrease in sexual desire
• severe fatigue
• irritability
• poor performance
• bad mood and a feeling that the best times have already passed
• decrease in endurance

An excess of calories is the way to obesity

Another important reason that often triggers the process of putting on extra pounds, and therefore affects the hormonal background of the body, is the intake of too many calories with food. The sedentary lifestyle characteristic of most of our men only worsens the situation and makes it impossible to fully expend the energy obtained with food.

All these factors "play together", and over time, fullness turns into obesity.

What problems in the sexual sphere does obesity cause?

Obesity significantly increases the likelihood of the following problems in the sexual sphere in men:

• Erectile dysfunction (erectile dysfunction)
• decrease in sex drive
• infertility

Boys who are obese may also have delayed puberty.

Erectile dysfunction and weakening of drive

Erection problems can sometimes appear in a healthy man. But if the impossibility to achieve an erection or finish sexual intercourse becomes a regular thing, then it is said about erectile dysfunction. This problem very often appears in obese men. Initially, an incomplete erection is observed and the number of its attacks decreases. Later, erections may stop completely.

Obesity also inhibits the normal functioning of the male sex glands, as a result of which sexual desire decreases. Lack of testosterone also stops the process of sperm maturation and can cause infertility.

Sexual function can be restored!

Any normal man would like to maintain his health and sexual activity at any age. But with the appearance of violations in the sexual sphere, many of the representatives of the strong half of humanity for some reason believe that the process is irreversible, and nothing can be done. Another variant of the manifestation of male infantility is the hope that you can drink "good medicine" and everything will be normalized, and you will not have to make any efforts to improve your health. In fact, to solve the problem in the sexual sphere in obesity, a comprehensive approach is required.

Examination and treatment

It is necessary to conduct an examination and establish the degree of hormonal disorders. Based on the results of the examination, the doctor will prescribe drug therapy that will help regulate the hormonal background. In addition, it is important to identify concomitant diseases that can aggravate the problem and treat them as well.

Proper nutrition

In order to successfully fight erectile dysfunction and other disorders of the sexual sphere, a man must simultaneously fight obesity. And for this you need to stop overeating and start eating a balanced diet. In addition, it is necessary to choose a menu so that the surplus of adipose tissue gradually disappears.

Lifestyle

It is necessary to pay attention to the lifestyle and increase physical activity. This will start the natural processes of normalizing the hormonal background.

A doctor will help you find a comprehensive approach to the problem. Take care of your figure, take care of your health and be active and active at any age!
