Patient's question:
Do obese people tend to suffer from impotence? May I ask, with a height of 170 cm and a weight of 88 kg, I am quite overweight.Doctor's answer:
Hello! There are many reasons for male erectile dysfunction, so men should pay more attention and take preventive measures. Normal men have a small amount of estrogen in their bodies, most of which is converted from androgens, while only a small part is directly secreted by the seminal vesicles. Although the estrogen in the blood is very trace amounts, it plays an important regulatory role in the secretion of gonadotropin by the pituitary gland and the secretion of testosterone by the testes. General obesity does not have a significant impact on sexual function, but if a person is excessively overweight, it can lead to difficulties during sexual intercourse, as well as issues with appearance and self-confidence. Therefore, psychological factors are also a reason why obesity can cause erectile dysfunction.
