A must-read for long-term coffee drinkers: An old Chinese doctor reveals the effects of coffee on male sexual function

Long-term coffee drinking may have a certain impact on male sexual function. An old Chinese medicine doctor pointed out that the caffeine in coffee can stimulate the nervous system and affect hormone secretion, thus affecting male sexual function. Excessive coffee drinking may also increase the burden on the heart and have a negative impact on physical health. People who drink coffee for a long time should control their coffee intake in moderation and drink it according to their own physical condition to maintain physical health and normal sexual function.

In today's fast-paced life, coffee, as a refreshing drink, has almost become an indispensable companion for modern people. Many male friends are concerned about whether long-term drinking of coffee will affect their sexual function. We invited an old Chinese medicine doctor to reveal this topic to everyone.

We need to make it clear that the caffeine contained in coffee is a central nervous system stimulant. A moderate intake can refresh the mind and improve concentration. Will long-term and large-scale coffee drinking have an impact on male sexual function? This requires us to analyze from multiple angles.

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, male sexual function is closely related to liver and kidney function. The liver is responsible for regulating the body's Qi, while the kidneys store essence and are responsible for growth, development and reproduction. The caffeine in coffee does stimulate the central nervous system, thereby affecting liver and kidney function. Drinking coffee in moderation can stimulate the circulation of Qi and blood and improve mental state, but long-term and excessive drinking, especially excessive drinking at night, can lead to insomnia and irritability, which in turn affects the endocrine system and has a negative impact on liver and kidney function.

What is the specific effect of coffee on male sexual function? Scientific research has not yet reached a consistent conclusion. Some studies have shown that drinking coffee in moderation can improve sexual desire and sexual function, which may be related to the refreshing effect of caffeine and improved blood circulation. Other studies have found that long-term and large-scale coffee drinking may be associated with sexual dysfunction, especially for men who already have liver and kidney dysfunction.

Individual differences are also factors that cannot be ignored. Different people's physiques, health conditions, and living habits will result in different reactions to coffee. Some people may be more sensitive to caffeine and may experience symptoms such as panic and insomnia after drinking it, which may affect sexual function, while others may not feel any obvious discomfort.

As long-term coffee drinkers, how should we correctly view this issue?

First, don’t rely too much on coffee to stay awake. Properly arranging your work and rest schedule and ensuring adequate sleep are important ways to maintain sexual function.

Second, drink coffee in moderation. 1-2 cups of coffee a day is a more appropriate range, but the specific amount of consumption needs to be adjusted according to personal constitution and health status.

Third, pay attention to your body's reactions. If you experience symptoms such as insomnia, irritability, palpitations, or feel a decline in sexual function after drinking coffee, you should adjust your eating habits in time and seek help from a professional doctor if necessary.

Fourth, maintaining liver and kidney function, maintaining good work and rest, diet and exercise habits, and avoiding excessive fatigue and stress are the key to maintaining liver and kidney function and improving sexual function.

Whether long-term coffee drinking is good for male sexual function is still inconclusive. We need to make a comprehensive judgment based on our physical condition, living habits and drinking volume. Maintaining good living habits and mentality is an important guarantee for maintaining physical and mental health. I hope that the majority of male friends can look at this issue rationally, don’t blindly follow the trend or worry too much. While enjoying the convenience and pleasure brought by coffee, you should also pay attention to your physical health!
