I currently have anemia, and while I don't engage in self-stimulation, I also don't experience nocturnal emissions. My erectile function seems to have decreased as well. I suspect it might be male menopause. Can I be cured if I visit the hospital?

Hello, this is Dr. Je-man Ryu, Director of Goldman Urology at Seoul Station.
As a man in his early 40s, it's natural to be concerned about recent symptoms of anemia and decreased sexual function. Male menopause generally occurs after the 40s as testosterone levels decline, which can lead to lethargy and erectile dysfunction. However, your existing anemia can also lower overall vitality, potentially causing a loss of libido or erectile issues.
The absence of nocturnal emissions is not necessarily an indicator of health problems in adult males. However, if accompanied by decreased erectile strength and reduced sexual interest, it may point toward hormonal imbalances or blood flow issues. A blood test can confirm your testosterone levels and the severity of your anemia. Based on those results, appropriate prescriptions and lifestyle adjustments can effectively help you regain your vitality. I recommend visiting a specialist for an accurate diagnosis.
