Is Low Libido Keeping You Down? Douglas Ginter's New Book "Total Male"
Suggests Waning Sexual Health Can Wreak Havoc on Overall Wellness,
Cause Serious, Long-term Health Problems
SAN JOSE, Calif., April 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Men's health
professional and author Douglas Ginter believes that sexual function
is a reliable barometer of overall health, a connection that's too
often overlooked. "Total Male: Save Your Life by Taking Charge of Your
Sexual Health," co-written with Mark Weis, MD, explains in layman's
terms how men's sexual health issues can degrade quality of life,
endanger overall health and wellness, and damage lives and
relationships. "Total Male" is currently available on Amazon and
Barnes & Noble.

"Many of today's biggest public health crises can be correlated to a
decline in sexual health and functioning. This is especially the case
with men," explained Ginter. "Therefore, when treating a specific
disease like diabetes, it's important that doctors think about their
patients' sexual health at the same time. The analogy of the human
body as an machine is misleading; all of the body's remarkable
functions, including sex, are tied together in an intricate delicate
web."
Heart disease, cancer, and diabetes top the list of the most
widespread and worrisome diseases facing America today-diseases that
are, in many cases, preventable. Even when not preventable, effective
treatment is possible when these maladies are recognized early enough.
That's where being in touch with one's body becomes so important. In
"Total Male," Ginter explains how research points toward sexual
dysfunction as an early warning sign of many of these diseases.
Erectile dysfunction is the most common sexual health issue that older
and sometimes even younger men bring up with their doctors. Some still
believe that ED is an inevitable part of growing old, but that's
simply not true. Similarly, it's a misconception to think of ED as a
discrete, isolated problem, when in fact the condition is nearly
always a symptom of a larger, systemic issue. Depression, substance
abuse, obesity, and heart disease can all result in difficulty
becoming or staying erect.
A healthy, fulfilling sex life can in turn confer a whole host of
health benefits, from boosting the immune system to balancing
hormones. Some studies even show a lowered risk of prostate cancer
among men with robust sex lives. In effect, the street goes both ways:
whereas sexual health issues can be symptomatic of disease, an active
sex life can be part of a preventative plan that includes exercise, a
nutritious diet, less stress, and plenty of rest.
Putting Ginter's philosophy to work is the Total Male clinic
(http://www.totalmale.com) in San Jose, which provides individualized
care for a whole host of men's sexual health issues. The team at the
clinic boasts more than two decades of combined experience diagnosing
and treating everything from erectile dysfunction to hair loss.
