Many men who are in male menopause end up having a very low sex drive but even when they want to have sex, they have issues with completing the act due to the low quality of their erections. While these things are difficult to talk about there are several things that can be done to help the situation. However, they all start with talking to your doctor.
Get To The Doctor
The first place you should go if you have any type of sexual dysfunction is to your doctor. You may have a hormonal imbalance, but you may also have a problem that is more serious such as a heart condition. ED is the first sign for heart problems or other blood flow issues that may lead to heart attack or stroke.
Exercise More
After you get a clean bill of health from your doctor, start moving more. Try to exercise at least 20 to 30 minutes every day at a moderate to vigorous rate in a cardiovascular manner. Jogging, walking fast, jump rope, and rebounding are all great choices. If you’re out of shape, try water exercises.
Lose Weight
If you’re overweight, it’s important to deal with that. Many overweight men have low testosterone and have issues with sexual function. Try a low-fat, low-calorie diet. Many men with sexual problems do very well with a low fat, plant-based diet like the one presented in the online movie Forks Over Knives.
Change Your Diet
Vegan Changers is a low-fat plant-based diet. You can learn more about it by reading the book or watching the movie. Many men have sworn by going on a plant-based diet. They experience balanced hormones and morning erections for the first time in years within a year of being on the diet.
Drink More Water
Staying hydrated helps your body process vitamins, minerals, and balance hormones. Most people walk around partially dehydrated every day. If you’re not drinking a minimum of 64 ounces of water a day you are dehydrated.
Take Supplements
There are supplements that you can take to help with sexual issues such as vitamin B12, vitamin B3, and vitamin D3. While it won’t cure you, it can help cure some common problems that can cause sexual issues such as improving the iron levels in your body and improving nerve health.
Meditate
Some people have sexual issues due to being stressed out. Being stressed increases the level of cortisol in your blood, which increases belly fat, which increases your chances of cardiovascular issues. This often shows up first as erectile dysfunction. Meditation can reduce that stress substantially.
Get Medication
There are medications that can help you get an erection such as Viagra. These are only available by prescription and are not usually covered by health insurance. They are very expensive and may not be safe for everyone.
Sexual issues can often be completely cured in most men or at least handled through medication and other methods. If you really want to improve this aspect of your life, you can. Go talk to your doctor and don’t settle for just being handed medication. There may be lifestyle choices that will help you too.
