4 health issues that can sabotage your sex life

Being intimate with your partner is not only good for your body, but also good for your mind and soul.

Low libido, on the other hand, can make it hard to get in the mood for sex.

This can happen for a number of reasons, but it could definitely be a sign of a health problem you need to look into.

It’s not just problems with reproduction that can make it hard to have sex. It can also be caused by many other health problems.

In fact, psychologists and gynecologists say that a drop in sex drive can also be caused by a change in hormones. Menopause is one of the best known examples of this.

Here are some health problems that can affect your sexual life and need to be taken care of:

Heart sickness

For a sexual act, you need to be able to keep going. Both men and women are affected by this. But if you have a heart condition, you might not be able to do the act because of palpitations, shortness of breath, or lack of energy.

Obesity, metabolic syndrome, and diabetes can all lead to heart problems that could make it hard to have sex.

Cancer

When your health as a whole is in danger, it’s hard to think about sex. Also, the medicines given to a person can change their desire to have sex. Plus, the person has so little energy because of chemotherapy and other hormone treatments that they can’t even think about sex.

Diabetes

We already know that having too much sugar in our blood can be very bad for our health. Blood flows to the reproductive organs and other parts of the body while having sex. But damaged blood vessels make it hard for blood to flow, which makes the libido go down.

Diabetes is known to make both men and women unable to have sexual relations. It not only makes you less interested in having sex, but it also makes you less lubricated, which makes having sex very painful.

Depression

A study published in the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships found that depression and other mental health problems can ruin a person’s sex life.

You might have trouble with your sexual self-esteem, feel sexually distant from your partner, have trouble talking about sex, not know how to start sex, or lose interest in sex, which means you don’t have any sex.
