There are many reasons for decreased libido in male friends, including common emotional factors, disease factors, drug factors, bad habits, and more. If these factors persist for a long time, they will affect the relationship between couples, so they must pay attention to them and receive timely examination and treatment in regular hospitals.
1. Emotional factors: Sexual life should be carried out in a happy and joyful state. If there are long-term psychological obstacles and many adverse factors, it will lead to decreased libido. If there is a sense of guilt or disappointment in the history of prostitution in the past, as well as repeated setbacks in the career, interpersonal tension, family unhappiness, etc., leading to depression, sadness, and anger, it will cause decreased libido. Second, if you are engaged in heavy labor for a long time, especially mental labor, it will also lead to decreased libido.
2. Disease factors: Suffering from genitourinary system diseases, discomfort reactions occurring during sexual life will inhibit libido, such as chronic prostatitis, epididymitis, and uremia, etc. Other diseases, such as endocrine disorders, various chronic systemic diseases, etc., will also be affected by decreased testosterone secretion or metabolic disorders.
3. Drug factors: Long-term use of certain drugs can also lead to decreased libido. Commonly used drugs such as sedatives and hypnotics, such as tranquilizers, imipramine, barbiturates, methadone; antihistamines such as diphenhydramine and chlorpheniramine; antispasmodic drugs such as atropine, propiverine, 6542; treatment of gastrointestinal ulcers drugs such as cimetidine; antihypertensive drugs such as prazosin.
4. Bad habits: Long-term alcoholism leading to chronic alcoholism, long-term heavy smoking leading to chronic nicotine poisoning, and drug use such as cannabis, opium, heroin, etc. can also cause decreased libido.
Long-term decreased libido not only affects the relationship between couples but is often a specific reflection of physical and psychological conditions, so we should pay enough attention, conduct physical health checks in time, and solve problems in a timely manner. With the increase of age, the sexual requirements of married couples gradually decrease compared with the past, which is an inevitable trend of physical development and is not generally considered pathological.
