Ageing Related Sexual Dysfunctions in Seniors:
Ageing can start from 40 +.
Sexual Dysfunction is the problem that prevents a couple from enjoying sex
 In general, for 95% of people there are 3 most common sexual dysfunctions:
- Premature Ejaculation
- Erectile Dysfunction
- Dyspareunia
The rest of the 5% have other not so common dysfunctions like loss of libido, infertility, STD’s, perversions, retarded ejaculation etc.
The common Causes of Sexual Dysfunction are:
- Â Â Â Diabetes
- Â Â Â Dyslipidaemia
- Â Â Â Hypogonadism
- Â Â Â Hyperprolactinaemia
- Â Â Â Multiple sclerosis
- Â Â Â Severe anaemia
- Â Â Â Iatrogenic
- Â Â Â Ageing
Ageing is at the bottom of the list because it is not at all the cause of sexual dysfunction. Ageing gets the bad name for no good reason.
Premature Ejaculation – is the most common dysfunction and all men experience it at some point in their life. It is not a medical response or condition and it is wired differently in each human being.
Erectile Dysfunction – This is also experienced by most men in their life. This dysfunction percentage increases with age because of declining levels of testosterone. Again this cause is psychogenic in most cases but this ratio inverts itself with age.Â
Dyspareunia – all women experience pain during intercourse at some point in their lives especially post-menopause. Reduced oestrogen levels cause dyspareunia and this ultimately results in women losing interest in sexual activity.
The truth is Sexual dysfunction is more common with younger people as when you get older you are more in control of your sexual energy and how to express it is also more mature.
What is good for good Sexual Health?
In general whatever is good for your overall health promotes good sexual health as well. The stronger your heart the better your sexual health.
- A balanced diet low fat and low carb is good in seniors
- Â A 30 min daily walk or 3 or 4 times a week
- Controlling your weight
- 5- 6 hours of sleep for seniors is good enough
- Correct supplements with consultation of your family physician
- Regular check-ups
All these factors help your sexual health stay good and enjoyable.
By reading Dr’s book you will get detailed information on whatever your concerns may be.Â
