Stress adversely affects the human health in a number of ways. Too much stress can affect the sexual health of a man by triggering erectile dysfunction (ED). ED is when men become incapable of achieving or holding an erection required to indulge in the sexual activity. Men who are under extreme amount of stress experience either temporary or permanent erectile dysfunction. Excessive stress also reduces a man’s libido and therefore men with too much stress levels lack sexual desire.
Excessive stress can be caused as a result of stressful lifestyles, lack of sleep, too much exercise, financial problems, work pressure, relationship problems and many more reasons. Too much stress makes a man prone to a lot disease. When a man is stressed, the fight-or-fight response is activated. When this happens, the adrenal glands release the cortical and adrenaline hormones into the blood stream. Cortical releases sugar into the blood for quick energy by stimulating the liver. Adrenaline results in the constriction of blood vessels and therefore increases the breathing and heart rate and also shuts the digestive system.
Physical symptoms of too much stress include headaches, infection, breathlessness, indigestion, change in sleep pattern and loss of sexual desire. Too much stress can also result in mental issues like lack of concentration, difficulty in decision making and memory lapses. Emotional symptoms of stress include irritability, impatience and deterioration in appearance. Excessive stress also leads to behavioral changes like increased smoking, eating disorders, increased alcohol intake, drug abuse and appetite changes.
Stress contributes to heart disease, hypertension, depression and diabetes, all of which are capable of causing erectile failures. Moreover, stress constricts the blood vessels and therefore prevents adequate blood flow which is an import part of achieving an erection. Continues stress over a period of time makes a man vulnerable to heart disorder which eventually affects the erections. Not only long term stress, even short term stress affects the sexual abilities.
However, in this case, a man should be able to achieve proper erections once the stress is gone. In long term stress, even if the stress is gone, in order to restore his sexual abilities, a man will have to first treat other stress related diseases.
