What are the Problems and Challenges Men can Experience in Midlife?
In Midlife hormonal changes can cause men to produce less testosterone and increase the production of estrogen. Testosterone is a hormone that has a host of benefits, from better muscle tone and a more efficient metabolism to a higher sex drive. Problems with sugar metabolism combined with a sedentary lifestyle may lead to diabetes. Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is very common with diabetic men. Obesity compounds the problem, often because of the associated high blood pressure. Losing muscle tone and putting on weight can aggravate your sexual virility, which can create sexual anxiety. With sexual impotency men also tend to lose self-esteem. This educational information should not be used for diagnosing or treating a health problem.
