Sexual Dysfunction in Men - Men Sexuality | Women Sexuality

Diabetes is a disease in which the level of glucose (sugar) in the blood is too high. A high glucose level for several years can damage the tissues and fibers of the penis causing diabetic impotence or diabetic erectile dysfunction.

How does diabetes affect erection problems?

Diabetes can damage the nerves, erectile tissue and small blood vessels in the penis.

This damage can result in the following complications:

• Damage to the erectile tissue will not allow the muscle fibers of the penis to relax properly.

• Nerve damage can result in fewer penile sensations and less signaling to it from the brain, making it harder to get and maintain an erection.

• Damage to the blood vessels will also prevent the erectile tissue from filling with blood.

Anyone who has diabetic impotence and feels it is the cause of problems in their sex life should talk about it with their doctor. The doctor can check for changes in the arteries or nervous system. Sometimes these aspects need special attention for themselves. The doctor can also check if any medication you are taking contributes to erectile dysfunction.

Fortunately, the treatment for erectile dysfunction in diabetes has improved considerably. Often the first step - recognizing the problem - is the biggest obstacle. Once you have passed, and with the help and support of your partner and the doctor, you can begin the treatment.

What treatments are available?

 The vast majority of treatments are available today which are effective in men with diabetes. It is about finding the right one for you. Oral medications are often used as the first line of treatment (different treatment options with different duration of action and some daily treatment), taking into account other treatment options if these do not work for the best treatment.

Sex problems | sexual dysfunction in men – Premature ejaculation

Premature ejaculation is the most frequent sexual problem in men; however, very few confess it to the doctor. Big mistake, because with the help of a professional premature ejaculation has a solution.    

What is a premature ejaculation?

Premature ejaculation is sudden, the uncontrollable expulsion of semen before the time desired by the man who is unable to control the ejaculatory reflex. It is accepted as premature ejaculation when ejaculation occurs before or immediately after penetration.

This sexual dysfunction is more common in men, affecting regularly almost 30% of men, and at least 70% have had an episode of premature ejaculation throughout his life. It can appear at any age. Usually, it is consulted less frequently than erectile dysfunction, though it is more prevalent than premature ejaculation.

It is not a serious problem for the health of a man and is not usually caused by a physical complication. However, it should be treated to avoid psychological problems that may alter the emotional stability of the patient or his relationship. It can even be a cause of infertility in couples if the male partner fails to ejaculate inside the vagina every time.

Classification of premature ejaculation

Premature ejaculation is classified into:

• Primary

• Secondary

Primary premature ejaculation: The dysfunction is maintained since adolescence and the male has never had a relationship with a partner in which he has been able to control the ejaculatory reflex. Primary premature ejaculation is associated with masturbation practiced improperly which could be attributed to the rush the teen has given by climaxing in many cases due to lack of privacy or feelings of guilt.

Secondary premature ejaculation: It affects those men who had resisted sexual intercourse for a while but later lost it for some reason, usually related to emotional problems, stress, prolonged sexual inactivity, or a new partner that causes them anxiety or a high degree of sexual excitement.

There are also varying degrees depending on the severity of the case:

Grade 1: This degree is the least severe and easier to correct. It is associated with anxiety and a very stressful lifestyle. These are men who previously had good control over their ejaculation.

Grade 2:  It develops when grade 1 is exceeded, and premature ejaculation becomes chronic. It can be treated with the help of a professional through sexual therapy.

Grade 3: It occurs when grade 2 is extended too in time. Ejaculation occurs before or at the beginning of penetration, and men who suffer from this degree are often severely affected psychologically.

Grade 4: In this last step, premature ejaculation becomes a chronic disorder that affects all aspect of patient's life. Pharmacological treatment is necessary.

Some more recent classifications distinguishing the following types:

Permanent premature ejaculation: It happens in less than 1 minute of penetration, and is usually genetic.

Acquired premature ejaculation: It is usually the somatic or psychological cause.

Variable natural premature ejaculation: It is not constant, but occurs in some specific situations, and is considered a normal variant.

Premature ejaculatory dysfunction: are normal ejaculatory as to time, but person ejaculate earlier than desired time.

The prostate often enlarges as men get older, but now a day due to modern lifestyle major part of the male population is suffering from prostate problems. These prostate problems not only disturb the functional life of a person but also disturb the personal life. Anatomically prostate gland is compromised in zones and lobes. The main action of the prostate gland is in the sexual sphere, where it produces PSA which is an essential protein which helps to keep the semen in its liquid state. This PSA when gets increased can lead to cancer or any prostate problem. Major risk factors associated with prostate problems are related to old age (above 45), more in person with a family history of cancer. Diet factors also play a major role in long-term medication, smoking, alcohol, night working and even increased intake of tea and coffee leads to prostate problems. Proper investigations that are advised in case of prostate problems are done through Blood the “PSA TEST” and Urine and Ultrasound Prostate. “A Latest new Non- Invasive test i.e. PSMA -PET scanning test is introduced. “In younger men, the prostate is about the size of a walnut. It is doughnut shaped as it surrounds the beginning of the urethra, the tube that conveys urine from the bladder to the penis. The nerves that control erections surround the prostate. The mean weight of the normal prostate in adult males is about 11 grams, usually ranging between 7 and 16 grams. It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder and can be felt during a rectal exam.”

The word "prostate" comes from Medieval Latin prostate and Medieval French prostate. The ancient Greek word prostate means "one standing in front", from protistan meaning "set before". The prostate is so called because of its position - it is at the base of the bladder. The Prostate is an important organ forming part of the male reproductive system. It is located below the bladder and anterior to the bowel. Its main function is to produce fluid which protects and enriches sperm. There are thousands of tiny glands in the prostate - they all produce a fluid that forms part of the semen and fluid also protects and nourishes the sperm. At the time of male orgasm, the seminal vesicles secrete a milky liquid through which the semen travels. The liquid is produced by the prostate gland, while the sperm is stored and produced in the testicles. When a male climaxes (has an orgasm) contracted muscles force the prostate to secrete this fluid into the urethra and released through the penis. In younger men, the prostate is about the size of a walnut of doughnut-shaped as it surrounds the beginning of the urethra, the tube that conveys urine from the bladder to the penis. The nerve responsible for erections surrounds the prostate. An average weight of the normal prostate in adult males is about 11 grams, usually ranging between 7 and 16 grams which surround the urethra below the urinary bladder and can be by rectal exam.

THE PROSTATE PRODUCES PROSTATE-SPECIFIC ANTIGEN (PSA):

The epithelial cells in the prostate gland produce a protein called PSA (prostate-specific antigen). The PSA helps keep the semen in its liquid state. Some of the PSA escapes into the bloodstream. We can measure a man's PSA levels by checking his blood. If a man's levels of PSA are high, it might be an indication of either prostate cancer or some kind of prostate condition. Male hormones affect the growth of the prostate, and also how much PSA the prostate produces. If male hormones are low during a male's growth and during his adulthood, his prostate gland will not grow to full size. Mostly in older men, the prostate may continue to grow, especially the part that is around the urethra. This can make it more difficult for the man to pass urine as the growing prostate gland may be causing the urethra to collapse. When the prostate gland becomes too big in this way, the condition is called Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). “Only 30 percent of patients with high PSA are detected cancer after biopsy it shows PSA test is not distinctive indicator of cancer of prostate but may also detect prostatitis and Benign hypertrophy of prostate “The United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF, 2012) does not recommend PSA Screening as most of the cancers are asymptomatic and because overdiagnosis and overtreatment may involve risk of erectile dysfunction male impotence and incontinence.” For more detail contact us at + 91-9999367159 or visit www.drnavalkumar.com.
