Patient's question:
My husband has always had a good libido. From dating to divorce, we had sex almost every day. In the past two years, with his busy work schedule, our sexual activity has increased, but he has been touching me less, which makes me feel like he has cold feet. However, I've never heard of male cold feet, so I'm seeking consultation. What kind of help do I need: Why do men get cold feet?Doctor's answer:
Libido refers to sexual arousal and the desire for sexual intercourse that arises under certain conditions. There is no uniform standard for changes in libido; only when prolonged exposure to appropriate stimuli does not elicit sexual desire can it be considered low libido. Lack of libido or low libido should not be taken as a general sign of sexual dysfunction. Libido is influenced by numerous factors such as age, mental state, and inflammation. Common causes of erectile dysfunction include organic factors such as insufficient arterial blood supply, excessive venous outflow, impaired nerve conduction, and endocrine dysfunction, as well as non-organic factors such as work-related fatigue, marital relationship issues, and sexual tension.
