Midlife Sex and Male Menopause
Midlife Sex and Male Menopause In the days of late youth and early adulthood, men are
experiencing an overall impact from testosterone that seems to drive much of their thinking and a lot of their
activity. This is not limited strictly to sex, either, since the amount of the hormone in a fellows system can
affect his self-confidence, his endurance, even his sense of self-worth. What happens when a man reaches his middle
years and nature begins to decrease the amount of testosterone that the body produces? This is where male menopause
becomes part of the picture. During our middle years, we may find ourselves experiencing a collection of disturbing
symptoms. While any of the symptoms we mention here may have a cause unrelated to hormone levels, taken as a whole
they constitute a red flag that your physician will probably want to investigate on a hormonal level. What are
these symptoms? Were talking about increased irritability, diminished sex drive, lack of concentration, depression,
low self-esteem, and episodes of impotence. Whoa, what was that last one? Impotence, you know the big I. After a
man experiences a few frustrating and embarrassing failures to launch, he understandably begins to develop a
hesitancy to engage in sexual activity. After all, for many men a few failures to either achieve or maintain an
erection is tantamount to profound personal inadequacy. It is understandable that unhappy frustration may replace
enthusiasm, and a kind of stage fright will develop where sexual performance is concerned. It does not need to be
that way, and if you are experiencing this condition you need to go to your doctor and explain to him what is
happening. Your doctor will ask you some questions; hell want to know if youve been under a lot of stress recently
from your job or your family. He may want to know more about your diet, about your drinking habits, about what your
exercise regimen is like. He may be interested in how youve been sleeping, or in what herbal supplements you take
on a regular basis. Hell want to know the frequency of the episodes of impotency, and hell probably have a few
tests hell want to run. One of these tests will most likely be to determine your hormonal levels. Once he has the
data he needs, hell set up a course of treatment for you. So where does that leave you? Well, lets get one thing
straight: performance anxiety when it comes to sex is not what you need at this stage of your life, is it? The
first bit of good news to consider is that what youre dealing with may resolve itself with just a little bit of
treatment. The second bit of good news is that there are things you can do right now to help yourself out in this
situation. Be mindful that erectile dysfunction may wind up being more of a cardiovascular problem than anything
else. After all, to function as desired the blood vessels within your penis must be in good working order.
Consequently, anything you do to improve your cardiovascular system may be helpful in the penile department. Better
diet, more exercise, kick the cigarette habit, all of these are methods to improve your cardiovascular health. So
take the appropriate steps and, working with your physician, you may never have to experience sexual stage fright
again.
