Does Endocrine disease affect male sexual happiness? What are the effects of Endocrine disease on boys' bodies

For men, sexual ability directly affects their self-esteem, but a variety of factors will affect sexual function, mainly organic and functional, especially Endocrine system diseases can affect their sexual ability.

Which Endocrine disease can affect male sexual desire?

1. Thyroid disease

During hyperthyroidism, more Thyroxine is secreted and the basic metabolism is vigorous. It consumes protein in the body and promotes protein synthesis. At the same time, it will also increase serum protein binding testosterone and reduce its clearance rate. In addition, a large amount of Thyroxine will also enhance the degradation of cholesterol into steroids, and steroids in the adrenal gland will be converted into testosterone, thus causing a series of symptoms. In particular, it will increase the load on the hypothalamus pituitary testis axis and reduce the secretion of luteinizing hormone, thus causing Erectile dysfunction and sexual dysfunction, accompanied by breast development. Hypothyroidism is the opposite of hyperthyroidism. In patients with hyperthyroidism, the secretion of Thyroid hormones is insufficient, the metabolism speed is slow, the oxygen consumption and heat production are reduced, the clearance rate of protein bound testosterone is reduced, the proportion of protein and blood ketone in the blood is increased, and then the metabolism of androgen and estrogen is impaired, eventually leading to decreased libido and erectile dysfunction. Both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism should continue to be treated to maintain Thyroxine within the normal range.

2. Diabetes

Diabetes is a common metabolic disorder disease, which can cause penis Erectile dysfunction. Because being in a hyperglycemic state for a long time will cause autonomic and peripheral Neurogenesis lesions, especially when the lesion accumulates peripheral penile nerve, it can reduce the glans sensitivity. In addition, vascular lesions can also cause penile congestion and erectile dysfunction. In addition, the hypoglycemic drugs or insulin used, together with psychological factors, can also cause Erectile dysfunction. Patients with diabetes need to use drugs in strict accordance with the doctor's instructions, and at the same time do a good job in psychological counseling. It is very important to stabilize blood sugar.

3. Adrenal diseases

The common adrenal disease in men is Addison, which not only causes Erectile dysfunction, but also changes the pigment in the skin and body hair. Due to the abnormal secretion of Gonadotropin, testosterone synthesis and spermatogenesis will be reduced, resulting in low sexual function. In addition, excessive secretion of Corticosteroid can inhibit the secretion of hypothalamus and pituitary, affect testosterone production, and lead to hypogonadism. Another type of adrenal disease is Cushing's syndrome, where patients have low levels of testosterone in their blood, often accompanied by impaired sperm production and atrophy of testicular tissue, leading to male infertility and erectile dysfunction.
