Do you and your friends often suffer from this: your wife is passionate and flirtatious, but your heart is like water, unsettled, or your heart is not enough? You may be reluctant to discuss these things with your doctor because you are embarrassed. But for most men, this is an inevitable part of the aging process, and is especially quite common among men over 50. Milton Lakin, a urologist at the Cleveland Clinic, recommends these 7 tips to help you enjoy an active sex life when you’re over 50. 1. Little blue pills Viagra, Elidel Levitra, and Cialis are all prescription drugs that are used as the first line of effective treatment for erectile dysfunction. However, not all of them can be taken. The efficacy of each drug varies and the correct way to take them varies, so please visit your regular urologist/men’s doctor for a consultation and be proactive in discussing your sexual problems with your doctor. According to the specific situation of the individual, guide the use of medication. 2. Diet and exercise Long-term elevated blood pressure and cholesterol can bring about vascular problems that can cause you to have difficulty getting an erection. It is important to maintain your weight and a healthy lifestyle through physical activity. Avoiding high blood pressure, high cholesterol and heart disease is expected to reduce the frequency of erectile problems or delay their onset. 3. Control chronic diseases If you have been diagnosed with high blood pressure or diabetes, don’t worry, these medications are still effective. But your doctor needs to check and evaluate your heart. Because erection problems may be a precursor to heart disease or other diseases. 4. Check your testosterone levels There is a link between low libido and high or low hormone levels in the body. When you consult a doctor for an erection problem, your doctor will often check your gonadal hormone levels and depending on the results may further evaluate the cause of low libido loss. Androgen supplementation therapy will improve your erectile performance and potentially help you manage other medical conditions such as high blood pressure and diabetes more easily. However, regular review and monitoring is required during the treatment process. 5. Rational counseling Low libido and erectile dysfunction are often accompanied by psychological-emotional problems, so counseling may be an option, but it is not easy for men to accept. Open your heart to a professional doctor, analyze the reasons behind your sexual confusion and receive professional guidance. 6. Sexual desire mismatch? Negotiate it. It is very common for men and women to have inconsistent sexual desires. If this is the case, couples or sexual partners need to communicate frankly and try to come to a compromise to meet their respective sexual needs. Also during sex, women may be more focused on intimacy, while men tend to be more focused on the sexual activity itself. Ask your sexual partner what she wants, and tell her what you want. 7, set aside time for sex Modern society has given men more responsibilities, and these pressures of daily life and work may leave you with no time for sex and neglect your partner’s feelings. Slow down your life, adjust your pace and set aside time for your partner to nurture your intimate relationship.
