In a full relationship between a man and a woman, sex plays a very important role. Unfortunately, sometimes there are problems that can be harbingers of serious diseases. Which ones? We will tell about this.
Loss of interest
Stress and lack of proper rest often provoke problems in sex. Men are directly concerned, because life in such a rhythm provokes a decrease in the production of male sex hormones - testosterone. In this case, you need to donate blood to the testosterone level .
Depression
The feeling of depression can be associated with depression and, as a consequence, the intake of antidepressants. Despite the fact that this group of medications helps to get rid of depression, it causes side effects - an inability to achieve orgasm - anorgasmia. Before taking antidepressant drugs, be sure to consult with your doctor about their side effects.

Psychological reasons
Nine out of ten men suffer from anorgasmia for psychological reasons. However, the remaining 10% of such cases are caused by disorders of nerve conduction due to diabetes. In addition, the causes of impaired erectile function is obesity.
Excess weight and cholesterol
If the incapacity for erection happens more often, it can mean that a man has problems with blood vessels, the cause of which is cholesterol. This is especially true if a man is overweight.

Arterial Disease
If the problem suddenly arose, and you ceased to get the maximum pleasure from sex, then perhaps the disease of the arteries is to blame. If you smoke, you have pain in the legs, problems with pressure and violations in the intimate sphere, immediately seek help from a specialist.

Peyronie's disease
This disease is characterized by the formation of scar tissue under the skin of the penis, which can lead to painful sensations during sexual intercourse. Peyronie's disease can occur at any age.
Testicular cancer
Cancer of the testicle can be detected by self-examination. Usually it proceeds painlessly and asymptomatically, revealing itself only in that a compaction is created that does not cause pain. If you notice something like this - it's an occasion to immediately seek help from a doctor.
Too fast ejaculation
Sometimes this is a consequence of hyperteriosis - a violation of the thyroid gland. It can occur both in the elderly and at a young age.
Pain during ejaculation
Pain during ejaculation may be a consequence of prostatitis. Also, the cause of this disorder are also nervous disorders.
Retrograde ejaculation
This disorder manifests itself in a very small amount of sperm or even in its absence, despite the fact that a man experiences an orgasm. This phenomenon provokes diabetic neuropathy, the taking of some drugs and the blockage of the nerves in the pelvic region. As a result, the sperm leaves through the urinary tract.
