Sex Drive In Men

One in four men in the world over 40 faces problems with potency. However, no one would uncover this secret to public.

Male may be triple Noble prize winner, but not less achievement he considers good potency and ability to maintain active sex life till aging. And for a good reason one of male organs is called manhood. “If the manhood does not work, most men see no point in life at all.” - declared Jan Erdly from European Association of Urology on Men's Health World Congress in Milano.

What differs real man from just a male is hormone testosterone. Simply put, male drive directly depends on rate of this hormone in the blood. Normally, male body produces several milligrams of testosterone daily which is enough to maintain and work on the whole body. Testosterone also is responsible for secondary sexual characteristics such as hair growth on face and body and base voice.

Testosterone is a key hormone in sex drive (libido), erection, sexual behavior and semen formation. The hormone testosterone also controls the development of muscles because it stimulates protein production in them. Without testosterone cannot work cardiovascular, nervous, circulatory and urinary systems in male body.  Testosterone has an effect on working capacity, creative potential, memory, mood and even character of a male.

Starting from 30 years, rate of testosterone lowers by 1 – 2% each year. As a result, by 50 – 55 years in male remains only half of the amount which he had in his youth. Some specialists say that the less testosterone is left, the shorter path to death is, because there exists direct connection between the testosterone rate and hypertension, diabetes, coronary disease and other diseases.

However, potency lowering and failures in sexual life (erectile dysfunction) worry males more than hypertension. And exactly fear of impotency makes males go to the doctor. However, most males first try to solve problem by themselves by following recommendations of their friends, and as a result other problems are added to the existing ones.  In women the situation is different. When women feel bad, they go to the doctor at once. Generally, they have no time to be ill, because they must take care of children.

Men must go to the doctor at once they realize they have erection problems. Here you must know that problems with erection talk about vessels condition. In male penis vessels are most subtle and narrow, that is why their work is most significant. Erectile dysfunction shows that male already has problems with cardiovascular system. Also latent diabetes is not excluded. So here the urologist would help. He would recommend to make test on hormones and sugar, consult cardiologist.
