Dr Apex +27796760023 Mens Clinic in Goreangab Low libido is a term used to describe a decrease in s*x drive that can interfere with s*xual activity. While low libido can cause tension in a relationship, fostering doubt and guilt in both partners, it can often be treated if the underlying cause is identified.
Low testosterone
Testosterone is an important male hormone. In men, it’s mostly produced in the testicles.
Testosterone is responsible for building muscles and bone mass, and for stimulating s***m production. Your testosterone levels also factor into your s*x drive.
Normal testosterone levels will vary. However, adult men are considered to have low testosterone, or low T, when their levels fall below 300 nanograms per deciliter (ng/dL), according to guidelines from the American Urological Association (AUA).
When your testosterone levels decrease, your desire for s*x also decreases.
Decreasing testosterone is a normal part of aging. However, a drastic drop in testosterone can lead to decreased libido.
Talk to your doctor if you think this might be an issue for you. You may be able to take supplements or gels to increase your testosterone levels.

What is erectile dysfunction (ED)?
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the inability to get or keep an er****on firm enough to have s*xual in*******se. It’s sometimes referred to as impotence, although this term is now used less often.
Occasional ED isn’t uncommon. Many men experience it during times of stress. Frequent ED, however, can be a sign of health problems that need treatment. It can also be a sign of emotional or relationship difficulties that may need to be addressed by a professional
What causes an er****on?
ED can occur because of problems at any stage of the er****on process. An er****on is the result of increased blood flow into your p***s. Blood flow is usually stimulated by either s*xual thoughts or direct contact with your p***s.
When a man is s*xually excited, muscles in the p***s relax. This allows for increased blood flow through the pe**le arteries, filling two chambers inside the p***s. As the chambers fill with blood, the p***s grows rigid.
An er****on ends when the muscles contract and the accumulated blood can flow out through the pe**le veins
Erectile dysfunction causes
There are many possible causes of ED, and they can include both emotional and physical conditions. Common causes include:
cardiovascular disease
diabetes
hypertension, or high blood pressure
high cholesterol
obesity
low testosterone levels or other hormone imbalances
kidney disease
increased age
stress
anxiety
depression
relationship problems
certain prescription medications, such as those used to treat high blood pressure or depression
sleep disorders
drug use
consuming too much alcohol
using to***co products
certain health conditions, such as Parkinson’s disease or multiple sclerosis (MS)
damage to the pelvic area through injury or surgery
Peyronie’s disease, which causes scar tissue to develop in the p***s
