Sexual
Dysfunction and Low Libido
Sexual dysfunction is a common disorder affecting both men and women,
and can lead to severe emotional problems such as depression, anxiety,
and loss of self esteem. Although the likelihood of sexual dysfunction
increases with age, many experts stress that it is not simply a
"natural" or "inevitable" consequence of aging.
Impotence
is estimated to affect as many as 30 million men in the U.S. alone.
After menopause, many women experience a decline in libido, sexual
pleasure, and the ability to express orgasm. Some men, too, as they
age, experience reduced sex drive and steady decline in sexual ability.
Others do not--and the difference often lies in hormone function.
Several Genova Diagnostics tests can uncover imbalances that may
be triggering diminishing sex drive, impotence, and other problems
of sexual function.
Sexual
Dysfunction and Female Hormones: In women, sex drive
and sexual pleasure are directly tied to levels of two important
hormones.
Sexual
Dysfunction and IGF-1: Growth hormone stimulates many
of the body's physiological mechanisms associated with youth, including
a strong and healthy sexual function.
Sexual
Dysfunction and Elemental Imbalances: Nutrients fuel
the body, so key mineral shortages, especially when combined with
toxic overload, can seriously impair both sex drive and performance.
Sexual
Dysfunction and Amino Acids: Amino acids play a vital
role in the mechanisms of sexual arousal.
Call to set up a nutritional consultation so that tests can be performed
and a comprehensive strategy of lifestyle, dietary modification
and nutrient supplementation can be implemented to aid you in reversing
this disorder.
