Being human isn’t easy. While the human body is a marvel of evolution, it can also be frustratingly vulnerable to outside forces. Men who have a long history of healthy sexual activity find that as time marches on, their performance levels can change. In most cases, minor changes are the result of issues that can be easily resolved. But how can a guy tell when a performance issue might be a signal something more serious is going on?
It’s Not Just a One Time Deal
Generally speaking, problems with performance crop up once or twice and then retreat when there’s nothing to be concerned about. When problems such as erectile function or sexual interest suddenly drop, it’s called an acute, or sudden, condition. If these issues persist and linger, it’s a chronic issue.
A guy who has difficulty achieving and maintaining an erection doesn’t automatically assume he has full blown impotence. But a guy who finds in increasingly difficult over time would be well served in taking the issue up with his healthcare provider. Chronic problems with sexual performance aren’t necessarily the harbinger of more serious medical conditions, but they can begin to take their toll. Reaching out to a doctor will not only let you rule out any underlying problems, it will help you find a treatment for whatever problem you have more quickly.
Things are Piling Up
You know the old adage – Bad Things Come in Three. While this doesn’t always hold true, it often happens that one problem with sexual performance can lead to another. A low libido can easily lead to problems with erectile health and stress over it has a way of triggering premature ejaculation.
Dealing with one sexual performance issue is difficult enough, but once things start to pile up, it can be overwhelming. When you’re facing multiple issues, unravelling the mystery to determine the underlying cause is muddy business indeed. Make short work of it by talking to your doctor about what started first and the timeline of events that led up to you reaching out for help.
Common Sense Practices Don’t Make a Dent
These days, most people take a proactive approach when it comes to handling their health. For men struggling with sexual performance issues such as premature ejaculation, erectile health or low libido, Do It Yourself approaches have become increasingly popular – and effective. Simple but powerful changes in diet, exercise and mental or emotional health can have a huge impact on a guy’s sex life and this is where most guys start when they want to try and resolve the problem on their own.
There’s nothing wrong with rolling up your sleeves and buckling down in order to improve your health. But personal efforts aren’t always the cure men need in order to return to the sex life they want. If you’re making all the right changes but still not seeing a result, make a list of what you’ve already tried and call in the pros.
It Starts to Affect the Rest of Your Life
At the end of the day, something is a problem with YOU think it is. If premature ejaculation or other sexual performance issues begin to affect your life outside the bedroom, then it has become an issue worth addressing with the help of a professional.
Guys may think problems like premature ejaculation or low libido are only an issue between the sheets, but the fact is, they can trigger or exacerbate serious issues such as depression or anxiety. These are notorious for wreaking havoc in every area of a man’s life and should always be taken seriously. Getting help is about more than simply making the most of your sex life, it’s about ensuring good quality of life from every angle.
