Does being overweight affect male sexual function?

Patient's question:

My husband weighs over 200 pounds, and he always feels tired every day. Recently, he often feels that he can't perform well, and his stamina is short. Does being overweight affect a man's sexual function?

Doctor's answer:

The reasons for your erectile dysfunction are numerous, such as reduced libido caused by frequent sexual activity, or erectile dysfunction resulting from a lack of sex hormones. It is common for erectile dysfunction to be caused by prostatitis. You can check for prostatic fluid and have a prostate ultrasound to diagnose the condition for male patients. Timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If left untreated, it can affect your overall health, so patients should seek timely medication treatment. Additionally, in daily life, it is important to avoid overexertion and pay attention to personal hygiene.
