How to maintain men's sexual health
- The best way to avoid sexually transmitted diseases is to choose a partner wisely and use a condom — which is 85% effective against STDs.
- Testosterone production begins decreasing at age 30. Over many years, this decrease can cause symptoms like fatigue, erectile dysfunction and depression.
- Men should see their doctors when they have erectile dysfunction or loss of sexual appetite.
- Until the 1980’s, it was commonly thought that erectile dysfunction was a mental condition. Now it’s known to also have physical causes — mainly cardiovascular — that can be treated with drugs.
- Preventative management is the key to avoid cardiovascular disease, which leads to ED. Men should check their cholesterol and sugars on a regular basis.
- Erectile dysfunction medications help increase blood flow.
