Medical Conditions - Bmi And Sexual Function

Body mass index is a critical factor affecting sexual functions in men and women. Higher and lower BMI levels have been associated with a greater prevalence of sexual dysfunction, including erectile dysfunction in men and decreased sexual desire and arousal in women. Excess adiposity may lead to hormonal imbalances, reduced blood flow to genital organs, and psychological factors such as body image dissatisfaction, all of which can contribute to sexual difficulties.
