One of the distressing—and most often lamented—side effects of the aging process is a loss of sexuality and its components: desire, enjoyment, and performance. At 20, a man experiences an erection daily, but at 70, he’s lucky to have one every two weeks. For women, sexual desire is often lost through several age-related mechanisms.
Since healthy sexual function has strong connections to a robust vascular system as well as psychological health, it is an important cornerstone of a life enhancement strategy. Healthy sex requires a multitude of components working in tandem, from brain neurotransmitters to hormonal and nutritional balance.
The encouraging news is that age-related factors contributing to sexual dysfunction can be prevented and treated, making it possible to maintain a satisfying sexual life well into advanced age.
Aging affects all parts of the body linked with sexual function both internally and externally. In men, greater physical stimulation is required to attain and maintain erections and orgasms are less intense due to brain, hormonal, and vascular factors. In women, menopause contributes to sexual decline, both as a result of its physical symptoms (dryness, hot flashes, and weight gain) and mental symptoms (mood swings and irritability). Combining a few therapies and treatments can alleviate many health issues that contribute to sexual function as well as enhance the experience. With custom formulations Complete medical is able to address each of these offering a complete sexual health program for each patient, specific to their individual needs.
