Does obesity affect sexual development in boys?

Whether in the past or now, abnormal male sexual function will always have an impact on the couple's life. Long-term sexual disharmony may even lead to divorce. Do you know that obesity affects sexual development in boys? If adolescent boys consume too much food and have overnutrition, male hormones cannot be released, which can cause symptoms of penis shrinkage. So, let’s take a closer look at the impact of obesity on boys’ development.

Relevant experts believe that the key lies in the "eggshell life" caused by overindulgence. The so-called "eggshell life" refers to the fact that children and adolescents live too wealthy and comfortable lives, and consume excessive amounts of fatty meat, meat products, eggs and beverages all year round. Large amounts of fat and sugar will enter the children's developing bodies. In addition, they lack labor and exercise since childhood, causing excessive obesity. Children become more and more obese and less and less active, forming a vicious circle, and thus develop bad character traits such as laziness and willfulness, as well as physical development disorders. Many people call it "obese child syndrome."

It is generally believed that obesity causes the posterior pituitary gland to become fatty or even lost, making it unable to release male hormones, and leading to testicular shrinkage, underdeveloped penis, small testicles, micropenis, lack of secondary sexual characteristics, feminization and other pathological conditions. Some people also believe that obesity at an early age causes the testicular interstitium to be infiltrated by fat cells, thus affecting the function of interstitial cells in producing male hormones.

The key measure is to try our best to restore nature's green diet like rural children, let children eat more vegetables and fruits, no or less meat, and no or less high-sugar beverages. In addition, we should increase opportunities for physical exercise and labor training, let them actively participate in housework within their ability, and let them exercise and grow in the wind and rain of nature. Children who are extremely obese should go to a specialist hospital for examination in time. If any abnormality is found, they should be treated early so that normal sexual function can be restored as soon as possible.

If there is an obese boy in the family, parents should pay full attention to him. It is not the case that the more children eat, the better, or the more nutritional supplements they take, the better. If they eat more and exercise less, excessive obesity will harm their children. Obesity affects the sexual development of boys. If the child’s eating and living habits are not corrected now, the child’s sexual dysfunction will harm the child for the rest of his life.
