Question
A male inquirer asks whether a significant reduction or loss of sexual desire over a period of time is considered libido decline. He describes his ability to achieve an erection during sexual excitement but losing it upon nearing ejaculation and feeling exhausted. He is worried about whether he has erectile dysfunction and inquires about the possibility of cure.
Answer
Doctors explain that libido decline can be caused by various factors and advise the individual to consider these situations. If the problem persists, they should seek medical examination promptly to avoid delaying the condition. Libido decline may be due to emotional factors, physical fatigue, disease factors (such as urogenital system diseases or endocrine diseases), medication side effects (such as sedatives, antihistamines, or antihypertensive drugs), and bad habits (such as alcoholism, smoking, or drug abuse). With age, a decrease in libido is a normal physiological change, but if it affects personal life, it is still advisable to seek professional advice.
