Sexual Health and Aging: What Changes, Why It Happens, and What Can Help

Описание: Sexual function naturally changes with age—but those changes don’t have to mean the end of intimacy, satisfaction, or connection.
In this episode, urologist and inventor Dr. Landon Trost joins the discussion to explain how aging affects sexual function and what evidence-based options can help. The conversation is hosted by Dr. Jeffrey Albaugh, a board-certified Advanced Practice Urology Clinical Nurse Specialist who specializes in caring for individuals experiencing sexual dysfunction across the lifespan.
Together, they explore the physical, hormonal, vascular, neurologic, and psychological factors that influence sexual function as we age. The discussion emphasizes that aging-related changes are common and normal, but many are modifiable or treatable with the right approach.
Topics include how blood flow, nerve signaling, hormones, and medications affect sexual performance; the impact of chronic conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and prostate treatments; and the role of mental health, stress, and relationship dynamics. The episode also highlights practical steps that may help, including lifestyle changes, medical therapies, devices, counseling, and when specialist evaluation is appropriate.
This conversation is designed for patients, partners, and healthcare professionals seeking reassurance, clarity, and realistic guidance. The focus is on maintaining sexual health, intimacy, and quality of life—at any age.
