Sex is a natural part of life that offers a wide range of benefits to several facets of your health, from reducing the risk of certain diseases to deepening the bonds of intimacy between you and your partner. However, sexual health and wellness are topics that many men tend to shy away from, especially if they are experiencing problems in these areas. A healthy sex life is something everyone should be able to enjoy and embrace at any age, though unfortunately, this is not always the case.
Male sexual arousal is a complex process that involves the brain, hormones, nerves, muscles and blood vessels. When a man’s sexual health is optimal, it includes a healthy amount of sexual desire, or libido, as well as the ability to achieve and sustain a firm erection. Erectile dysfunction (ED), also called impotence, is known as the persistent inability to obtain or maintain sufficient rigidity of the penis to allow for satisfactory sexual performance. ED is an incredibly common issue, affecting between 10 and 30 million men in the U.S. alone. Age is the variable most strongly associated with ED due to naturally declining testosterone levels, but many physical and emotional factors may also contribute to this common condition.
ED can be a devastating condition not only to your health but also to your self-esteem, relationships and overall sense of wellbeing. At Body Symmetry MD, we understand the importance of men’s sexual wellness and offer a vast variety of treatments that effectively restore erectile function and improve the quality of your sex life.
