The stress and fear caused by the ongoing pandemic have unleashed a severe attack on each of us, even the most emotionally strong. But we know that themental balance it is the basis of everything, when it fails the body is affected, even the libido.
To make matters worse, the time change which contributed to the sleep-wake mismatch.
Coronavirus stress and time change
Some may have noticed increased irritability and possibly some problems related to sleeplessness at night. All the fault of the time change. The consequences are then noticed both in the mood and in the physical, and, among those most accused by men is the drop in libido accompanied by erectile dysfunction.
The phenomenon has also been studied by experts: the Italian Society of Andrology (SIA) commented on the data of an American study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine that showed that there was a correlation between erectile dysfunction and workers forced to work at night.
The activity of the male reproductive system follows a certain cyclicality within 24 hours, the reason is the production of the main male hormone, the testosterone, which is much higher in the morning and decreases throughout the day.
If your sleep-wake rhythms are high for some reason, your testosterone suffers, and with it, your sexual activity.
This theory has already found confirmation in numerous studies. In particular, the 700 patients of the US study are proof of how the imbalance of the biological clock leads to unpleasant consequences also in the sexual sphere because it triggers alterations in the production of testosterone. In the course of 2020, worries and anxieties related to the coronavirus pandemic were added, which negatively affected the mental balance of many people.
How to fix
However, the data also show one possible solution: one therapy based on hormones, especially testosterone, can help those suffering from this pathology. Solving this problem is important, both for one’s own well-being and for that of the couple. Andrology experts reiterate that the sexual well-being is the result of a healthy organism and a general system based on the maintenance of a equilibrium. The synchrony of all organs is the basis for a healthy and happy life, both in the mental sphere and in the purely physical one. To “not fail” in bed, therefore, we must remember to resolve any pathologies but also to respect the correct sleep-wake cycle.
