How to Talk About Your Age-Related Problems with Your Partner

As men age, they find themselves dealing with more physical problems, including lower libido, erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, increased weight, or hair loss. These problems can be difficult or awkward to discuss with your partner or even your physician. At the Oklahoma Men’s Clinic, we specialize in treating the problems associated with aging, and do so using a confidential and comfortable space. As such, we want to offer the following techniques to help make it easier for you to discuss your problems with your partner. Remember that your partner is there to support you no matter what, and even though things might be awkward, they’ll appreciate you coming forward with these issues. The following techniques may not work for everyone, but they can be helpful in starting and working through these difficult conversations.

Be Sure to Let Your Partner Know How Long This Has Been Going On
It’s important to tell your partner how long your symptoms have been occurring. This allows your partner to better understand the depth of your issues, as well as how they can change their behavior to better support you. Letting your partner know the history of your symptoms helps them to better understand how long you’ve been dealing with these issues, as well as how best to help you get the treatment you need.

Be Honest About Your Feelings
It’s important to be honest with your partner, and yourself, about how these issues have made you feel. Admitting your discomfort or fear of these issues is important in showing your partner how you’ve been dealing with them, and if you would consider treatment. Your partner will appreciate your honesty in admitting your feelings, and be able to move forward with you in getting the help you need.

If you are experiencing issues related to aging, come speak with our experts. Contact the Oklahoma Men’s Clinic today for more information.
