SINGAPORE: Health is wealth, but with the weakening economy, many Singaporean men are more worried about their finances than sexual health.
In the last six months, doctors said they have seen a drop of up to 50 per cent in the number of patients seeking help for sexual problems like erectile dysfunction. Urologists said maintaining good sexual health is essential for overall well—being, especially for men aged 40 and above.
Professor Peter Lim, senior consultant urologist, Gleneagles Hospital, said: "Obesity, pre—diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol are all linked with erectile dysfunction. They’re all linked with metabolic syndrome which causes failing health and lower longevity in a male."
Studies have shown that one out of every five Singaporean men, will experience testosterone deficiency — a common sexual health problem.
A new campaign has been launched to educate men about the dangers of sexual health problems and to encourage them to take a hands—on approach.
Doctors said male patients can get a little sensitive when it comes to discussing problems about their sexual health, so this campaign hopes to encourage an open dialogue by using hand signals.
The year—long campaign includes health screenings and public education seminars. Men can also sign up for a free andropause test at participating clinics - CNA
It is always about maintaining a work life balance. Instead of worrying about your bills, your monthly car installments, etc, shouldn't you be taking this period to go out for some fun?
If you are not suffering or affected from the recession, what could you have been doing?
