Pretty messed up, right?So these female hormone level changes in the female body can pretty much put your sexual life on a hold; if she does not feel like having sex, she just doesn't, and period. The female hormones in her body will send you to have a beer with the guys and watch a game more often than you may wish for. Blame it on the female hormones....so easy, right? Well, not exactly.

Men with low prolactin had more issues with sexual and psychological health, while men with lower than average levels of prolactin, although still within the normal range, reported that their sexual issues were getting worse, including their ability to orgasm. Low prolactin was also associated with high body mass index and lower levels of exercise, as well as just generally feeling unhealthier.Furthermore, prior studies found that high prolactin levels were associated with lower sexual desire in men and erectile dysfunction.And this is the simple math of life; too much or too little of the same good stuff, here the female hormone prolactin, can negatively affect us in our daily activities.If you have recently noticed any changes in your sexual desire or erection quality, or generally feel more exhausted and low in energy, speak with your health care professional about a simple blood test that can help determine any possible hormonal imbalances.
