Obesity and its impact on men’s health
a sh a
Obesity poses a major health challenge all over the world, and excess weight increases a large number of health problems such as heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke, osteoporosis, and some types of cancer such as colon and breast.
Not only that, but obesity severely affects a person’s sex life as well.. According to a study conducted at the University of Buffalo in New York, obesity is associated with another health problem that affects men only, which is low levels of testosterone (the male hormone).
Dr. Shobha Gupta, medical director and IVF specialist at the University of Buffalo IVF Center, explained that being overweight impairs stamina, which is important for maintaining sexual performance, and also disrupts hormonal balance, which in turn affects testosterone levels, leading to a loss of desire. sexual or decreased sex drive.
He added that obesity also affects blood flow to the genitals, and the lack of blood circulation there causes erectile dysfunction.
Testosterone, in fact, is an important male hormone that aids in the development of male sexual organs and builds strong bones. Testosterone levels begin to rise around puberty, peak in early adulthood, and then begin to decline with age.
Moreover, excess fat in the inner thighs and pubic area leads to testicular temperatures of more than 35°C, which may be enough to hinder sperm production.
