4 Supplements for Boosting Sexual Health while Aging
Karen May, DC, CCSP, CCIP
What causes decline in sexual health?
There are many factors that cause a decline in sexual health, or sexual dysfunction. Sexual dysfunction is an issue that can happen during the sexual response cycle - this is what prevents you from experiencing satisfaction from sexual activities.
Some of the main causes of sexual dysfunction include:
- Chronic disease (like neuropathy, kidney failure, or liver failure)
- Diabetes
- Medications (like anti-depressants, anti-hypertensives)
- Alcoholism
- Depression
- Stress
- Hormonal Imbalances (lower testosterone or estrogen levels)
As you may have noticed, many of the causes of sexual dysfunction become more common as we get older. That is why sexual dysfunction becomes more common in people over the age of 40.
