Causes of Low Libido in Men
As men approach middle age they experience a dip in their
libido.
Libido means desire to have sex. Many factors are responsible for
low libido in men.
Psychological:
Brain and mind play a very important role in attaining
erection and
involve in sexual act. When few factors like
stress, anxiety,
depression etc affect mind then low libido results. These not only
cause low libido but they also interfere in
erectile dysfunction.
Apart from these relationship issues, lack of interest in the
partner, poor body image etc., can also be some of the factors
behind reduced libido in men.
Physical Causes
Low testosterone level, reduced
blood flow to penis can lead to low
libido and
erectile dysfunction respectively. Production of
testosterone reduces when men reach their 30s. This causes many
changes in body and mind.
Obesity leads to accumulation of fat in arteries thus interfering
with blood flow to penile arteries. Increased
cholesterol
also plays
the same role.
Causes for Low Libido as explained in ayurveda:
According to ayurveda acharyas not only anxiety and
stress but
having sex by compulsion with a person whom you do not like can also
cause low libido in men and women.
Shukra Dhatu helps in enjoying good sexual life. Consumption of
spicy, stale, opposite foods can vitiate shukra dhatu. This causes
low libido and
erectile dysfunction. Vitiated shukra dhatu can also
affect quality and quantity of
semen. Controlling sexual urge for
very long durations can cause a condition called “Veeryavarodha”
which in turn leads to low libido,
erectile dysfunction and low
semen quality and quantity. Some acquire the
impotence by birth.
