Here’s how aging can affect sexual function and some strategies to counteract these effects:
Decreased Blood Flow: With age, blood vessels tend to become less flexible and may accumulate plaque, leading to reduced blood flow to the penis. This can result in difficulties achieving and maintaining erections. Strategies to counteract decreased blood flow include:
Regular exercise: Engaging in cardiovascular exercise can improve blood flow throughout the body, including to the penis.
Healthy diet: Eating a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins can support cardiovascular health and blood flow.
Medications: Oral medications like Filitra (vardenafil) or other phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors can increase blood flow to the penis, helping to achieve and sustain erections.
Hormonal Changes: As men age, testosterone levels gradually decline, which can impact libido and erectile function. Strategies to address hormonal changes include:
Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT): For men with clinically low testosterone levels, TRT may help improve libido and erectile function. However, TRT is typically reserved for men with documented deficiencies and should be carefully monitored by a healthcare provider.
Lifestyle modifications: Regular exercise, adequate sleep, and stress management techniques can help optimize testosterone levels naturally.
