Men experience a decline in sexual function after the age of 50. Can they supplement with sex hormones?

Patient's question:

Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Weak sexual ability, want to improve.
History of previous diagnosis and treatment, as well as effectiveness: Not seen a doctor.

Doctor's answer:

Men also have a menopause, after the age of 50, the function of the testes begins to decline, and during this period, men's physical functions also begin to change. Emotional fluctuations are significant, including feelings of depression, lethargy, irritability, and emotional instability; the body is prone to "three highs" (high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high cholesterol), weakened muscle strength, increased susceptibility to colds, diarrhea, and most men begin to experience decreased libido and sexual dysfunction.
Prevention methods:
1. Do not smoke or drink excessively.
2. Reduce unnecessary psychological burdens.
3. Regular exercise is beneficial for sexual life.
4. Use medications sparingly. Many medications can affect sexual function, such as blood pressure medications, sedatives, antipsychotic drugs, and diuretics, which can inhibit sexual function and lead to low libido.
5. Maintain a normal sex life. This can stimulate the production of male and female hormones in the body to maintain balance. Increased blood flow to the sexual organs improves local circulation, keeps the organs elastic, and delays atrophy.
6. Pay attention to nutrition in your diet, consuming foods rich in zinc, such as oysters and other shellfish, fish, shrimp, beef, eggs, and soy products.
