As we know, life comprises four stages, wherein one's sexual life constitutes an integral part of our overall health. First and foremost, the Dubey Clinic extends a warm welcome to all of you in today's session those who are struggling with their sexual problems in this elder age. Fundamentally, today's session focuses on sexual health during elderly age, and through it, we will explore how Ayurveda assists us in leading a rich and healthy sexual life.
World-renowned Ayurveda expert and sexual health specialist, Dr. Sunil Dubey, is one of the top sexologists in Patna (Bihar); he practices at the 'Dubey Clinic' and treats all cases of sexual problems affecting individuals and couples. In India, he is a highly trusted sexologist, certified and authorized to treat sexual disorders and conduct research in this field. Over his 35-year career, he has successfully developed the most effective and clinically proven Ayurvedic medicines for these conditions.
Sexuality and its problems in the Elderly:
Here, it is always important to understand what changes occur in the sexual lives of men or women as they age. Dr. Sunil Dubey says that there is no doubt that, as the body ages, it undergoes physical changes that directly impact sexuality. During menopause and andropause, hormonal levels—including estrogen and testosterone—fluctuate; this may be the reason why there is a decline in sexual desire or the frequency of sexual activity among the elderly.
What changes occur in men:
- It reduces the production of sperm and semen, while also decreasing the size of the testes.
- The response to stimulation slows down.
- Penile erections are not as firm.
- The duration of orgasms is shortened.
- It takes longer to recover and engage in sexual intercourse again.
- The stages of sexual response cycle become slow where men struggle with hard erection and ejaculation control.
What changes occur in women:
- There is greater difficulty with lubrication (vaginal dryness).
- Pain may occur during intercourse (dyspareunia).
- Reaching orgasm becomes more difficult.
- The response to stimulation is slower, and the recovery time is also prolonged.
- The less chances of pregnancy in the elderly women
Furthermore, as one ages, the likelihood of developing various diseases increases—conditions that adversely affect one's sexual life in different ways:
- High Blood Pressure (Hypertension)
- Diabetes
- Depression
- Heart Disease
- Arthrosis
- Neurological Disorders
- Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, etc.
Apart from these conditions, the treatment for these diseases—both through medication and surgery—can lead to various types of sexual problems:
- Lack of sexual desire
- Erectile dysfunction
- Ejaculatory Disorders
- Vaginal dryness
- Anorgasmia, etc.
However, treatments for both illnesses and physical changes—both of which affect sexual function—are available in Patna, Bihar and these factors should not stand in the way of enjoying a satisfying sexual life. In fact, sexuality is a natural phenomenon where the changes in this life not only affect psychological health but also reproductive health. That's why; getting the consultation with an expert sexual healthcare professional is a good thought for both married or personal life.
Advice for People in aging:
Dr. Sunil Dubey, regarded as the leading Ayurvedic sexologist in Bihar, states that it is indeed true that the aging process impacts your sexual life to varying degrees. Therefore, it is crucial to foster an active and healthy aging process—that is, to put life into your years, rather than merely passing the years by. Yes, you may need to modify certain habits, but you can—and should—lead a deeply fulfilling sexual life. To achieve this goal, you may follow these suggestions:
- Do not fall victim to inactivity and loneliness.
- Engage in physical exercise and yoga.
- Give up habits such as alcohol and tobacco consumption.
- Remain active in social activities and passive work.
- Strictly adhere to the treatment prescribed by your doctor for any existing medical conditions.
- Avoid stress and depression
- Maintain a healthy diet and daily routine.
- Consult sexologist regarding any doubts or issues related to your sexual life.
Aging and sexual life—barring cases of severe illness—make for good companions. This does not mean pretending to have a sex life identical to that of your youth; rather, it implies making proper use of your physical energy, deepening the loving bond with your partner, and preserving your capacity to enjoy life.
How is Ayurveda helpful for sexual life in elderly (old age)?
Ayurveda views sexual health in aging or old age not merely as a matter of physical performance, but rather as an integral part of overall vitality. It emphasizes maintaining balance within the body—particularly regarding the 'Vata Dosha,' which often tends to increase with aging—and strengthening energy, stamina, and mental well-being.
Let's see how helpful this can be in the aging process:
Rejuvenation through Rasayana (Anti-Aging Therapy):
Ayurveda emphasizes Rasayana therapy, which promotes longevity, tissue nourishment, and vitality. It can offer the following benefits:
- Improved energy and stamina
- Naturally enhanced libido
- Slowing down the pace of age-related physical decline
Commonly Used Medically-Proven Herbs:
- Ashwagandha – Boosts strength, reduces stress, and helps maintain testosterone levels.
- Shatavari – Helps maintain hormonal balance and vitality (especially in women).
- Safed Musli – Traditionally used to enhance sexual potency.
- Gokshura – Helps maintain reproductive health and urinary functions.
Balancing the Vata Dosha:
As one ages, an increase in Vata can lead to the following issues:
- Dryness
- Fatigue
- Decreased libido
Ayurveda recommends the following measures:
- Warm and nourishing foods (milk, ghee, nuts)
- Oil massage (Abhyanga)
- Adequate rest and a regular daily routine
- This helps in maintaining physical comfort and sustaining sexual interest.
Boosting Strength and Stamina:
Ayurveda links sexual health to 'Ojas' (the vital essence). A robust Ojas offers the following benefits:
- Improved immunity
- Enhanced stamina
- Healthy sexual function
Foods and herbs that boost Ojas include:
- Almonds, dates, milk
- Herbal tonics such as Chyawanprash
Mental and Emotional Health:
The sexual life of the elderly is significantly influenced by their mental well-being. Ayurveda utilizes the following practices:
- Meditation and breathing exercises (Pranayama)
- Stress-reducing herbs, such as Ashwagandha
These measures help alleviate anxiety and performance-related pressure, while fostering greater intimacy.
Helps Maintain Hormonal Balance:
Ayurvedic herbs and lifestyle practices can offer the following benefits:
- Helps regulate declining levels of testosterone and estrogen
- Improves blood circulation
- Helps enhance natural stimulation
Gentle and Sustainable Approach:
Unlike medications that provide immediate relief, Ayurveda emphasizes the following:
- Gradual improvement
- Long-term good health
- Minimal side effects when used under proper guidance
- Helps stay connected with nature
Key Points:
- Elderly individuals may suffer from conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart disease—issues that affect sexual health.
- Always consult a qualified Ayurvedic sexologist practitioner before beginning the use of herbal remedies.
- Avoid self-medicating with potent medications because it may be harmful for health.
Ayurveda can help enhance sexual life in old age; rather than merely treating symptoms, it boosts energy, hormonal balance, mental peace, and overall vitality. It fosters a holistic and sustainable approach to intimacy. There are no any side-effects of Ayurvedic medicine and it always focuses on balancing the entire energies in a systematic and natural way.
