In addition to these, he was experiencing excessive snoring, breathing cessation during sleep, and even occasional attacks of palpitations. \u00d6mer stated that he was seeking a new partner and blamed his wife for his lack of desire and erectile dysfunction, yet he did not feel sexually confident enough to be with a new partner. He requested from us to perform well enough for a new partner. In fact, he was so fed up with his sexual problems that he was even willing to undergo prosthesis surgery if necessary. In the laboratory tests performed, we observed that \u00d6mer was experiencing age-related hormonal decline. We determined that \u00d6mer fell within the limits of obesity and that his waist circumference was far above normal. Starting a weight management program with our nutritionist, we also administered exogenous hormone replacement therapy to \u00d6mer. In addition, he was taken under cardiological follow-up. In his follow-up appointments 2-3 months later, we determined that his hormone level was higher compared to the initial levels, his sleep apnea problem had eased, and his weight had decreased. Our patient stated that his sexual desire and erection quality had increased. However, we saw the surprise outcome after the psychotherapy sessions \u00d6mer attended. Better understanding the changes within himself and becoming aware of the causes of his midlife troubles, \u00d6mer began attributing new meanings to the conflicts with his wife and enhanced his communication with her. Instead of finding a new partner, \u00d6mer preferred staying together with his wife. Currently, both he and his wife visit our clinic at regular intervals regarding sexuality, stating that they experience a much more enjoyable sex life compared to their younger years.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; css_params=&#8221;&#8221;]Married for 25 years, 54-year-old \u00d6mer consulted Prof. Dr. Halim Hattat with complaints such as weakness, fatigue, lack of focus, depression, loss of muscle strength, irritability, decline in erection quality, and low sexual desire.
