Low Libido, Erectile Dysfunction
Low libido and erectile dysfunction are part of a larger category of sexual dysfunction issues. At Emerge Natural Health Care we understand these issues and how they can affect your life.
Sexual dysfunction may be caused by any issue, physical or psychological, that prevents you or your partner from achieving sexual satisfaction. In men, sexual dysfunction is a common problem affecting men of all ages but is more commonly seen in older adults. Loss of libido (low or decreased sex drive) is the most frequently reported issue but erectile dysfunction is also common. Sexual dysfunction in men is fairly prevalent, the National Institute of Health reports 31% of men experience some form of sexual dysfunction during their lifetimes. The main types of sexual dysfunction in men are:
- Erectile dysfunction
- Premature ejaculation
- Delayed or inhibited ejaculation
- Low libido
In men, causes of sexual dysfunction, both physical and psychological, may include:
- Low testosterone levels
- Some prescription drugs
- Cardiovascular issues and high blood pressure
- Smoking
- Alcoholism and drug abuse
- Concern about sexual performance
- Marital or relationship problems
- Depression and anxiety
- Effects of past sexual trauma
- High stress or chronic stress
Sexual dysfunction can result in emotional distress. A lot of men associate masculinity with their sexual performance and when they begin to lose the ability to perform it can be very difficult. Roughly, only 25% percent of men say they are still happy about life in general when they have lost their sexual desire or have other sexual dysfunctions. However sexual dysfunction is not something you have to live with, there are many things you can do to regain a healthy and satisfying sex life and increase your overall level of happiness.

- Medications like Viagra or Cialis
- Stress management
