What is the cause of sexual dysfunction in men
Many men sooner or later may face problems in their intimate life. Failure in bed for a man is always a disaster. They may begin to panic internally, close in themselves and consider themselves impotent, which in turn leads to depression. Impotence is the inability of a man to have sexual intercourse, due to a complete lack of erection.
In most cases, a failed intimacy is due to a violation of potency, which can occur for a number of reasons and, therefore, one should not confuse impotence with sexual dysfunction. Let's consider what it is, symptoms, causes and methods of its elimination.
What is sexual dysfunction?
Sexual dysfunction is a violation of the sexual function of a man, which does not allow achieving an erection for intercourse or short-term erection, the inability to bring sexual intercourse to the end. Experts distinguish between primary and secondary. Primary or congenital is very rare. It differs in that a man has never in his life been able to complete a full sexual intercourse. Secondary in this when, up to a certain point, sexual life was healthy and active, but at some point it malfunctioned. This type of sexual dysfunction in men is the most common.
Periodically, erectile dysfunction occurs even in quite healthy and young guys. Statistics show that every man has faced such a situation at least once. If this problem happened once, then you should not attribute it to this diagnosis. If sexual impotence occurs systematically and a man cannot have sexual intercourse in 25% of cases or more, then we are talking about erectile dysfunction.
Main symptoms
Consider the main symptoms that indicate impaired sexual function in men.
- Decreased sex drive.
- Decreased orgasm quality.
- Weak or no erection.
- Violation of ejaculation.
The result of decreased libido can be various factors such as depression, emotional stress or problems in interpersonal relationships. Weak or no orgasm can also be caused by psychological reasons. It is extremely difficult for males to survive their sexual inadequacy. The worst thing is that with a decrease in sexual desire and fear of not taking place in bed again, men often limit their sex life. Prolonged abstinence from sex in men can cause congestion in the pelvic organs, which further exacerbates the problem.
Achieving an erection is a rather complex process, which can be influenced by many reasons, such as alcohol and nicotine abuse or physical fatigue. But it can also be caused by more serious problems with the prostate gland. The prostate gland is one of the main organs of the male reproductive system and its inflammation always reduces erection.
Too fast and slow ejaculation is considered a violation of ejaculation. Modern urology divides it into primary in this type of violation is observed in guys who have just begun to have sex. And on the secondary, which occurs after a long period of sexual activity. Here, premature ejaculation, which occurred before or during the first minute of intercourse, is considered a deviation from the norm. If the process is delayed for more than half an hour, despite the fact that you did not intentionally achieve this, then this indicates a delay in ejaculation. There is also such a deviation from the norm when ejaculation occurs in the bladder. This can be found if you pay attention to the urine after intercourse, it becomes cloudy. All types of this disorder can lower libido
If one or more of the above symptoms are found, you should definitely consult a doctor. Timely treatment, as a rule, returns male strength to its original state in 90% of cases.
Causes of sexual dysfunction
There are many reasons for the development of sexual dysfunction in men. Health problems, lack of regular sex and constant stress can lead to failures in this area. In order to be able to start the treatment and prevention of erectile dysfunction, you must first of all identify what caused its development. The best way to find the cause will be your doctor.
- Age. With age, men develop a risk of impotence. Men who are over 40 years old deal with this problem 25% more often. The older a man gets, the more his body wears out. For this reason, it is recommended to pay more attention to the sexual health of men with age.
- Irregular sex life. Healthy and regular sex is very important for a healthy life and a man's health. In addition to good mood and mental health, it normalizes hormones and is responsible for the production of healthy and motile sperm.Irregular sex life and especially its absence can negatively affect the male reproductive system. In the absence of orgasms, the blood that rushes to the genitals can stagnate. Too long abstinence can cause a lot of ailments such as hormonal imbalance, neuroses and mental disorders, the development of inflammation of the prostate and other diseases of the pelvic organs.
- Psychological reasons. In modern life, men have to experience various stresses and anxieties, and overwork or personal problems can also affect erection failure.
- Taking medication. Drugs of psychotropic action in antidepressants, tranquilizers and anticonvulsants are able to suppress the production of male hormones. Many drugs to lower blood pressure, as well as hormonal drugs, cause sexual dysfunction. Drugs, nicotine, alcohol also have an extremely negative effect on men's health.
- Diseases of the genitourinary system. The disorder of potency can be influenced by tumors, inflammation or genitourinary infections. Problems in bed can be troubling if a man leads a sedentary lifestyle. The pelvic organs do not receive the required amount of blood and oxygen, which, in turn, can worsen the functioning of the penis. Also, sedentary work can develop hemorrhoids in a man and if he is not treated in time, then there is a possibility of earning problems with the prostate gland.
- Diseases of the prostate gland. All men, especially those over 40 years of age or older, need to have their prostate checked annually. Problems with the prostate gland can be the main reasons for the development of erectile dysfunction.
Methods of treating sexual weakness in men
Unfortunately, most men, faced with problems in bed, do not immediately go to the doctor. This may be due to the fact that it is extremely difficult for the stronger sex to admit their male inconsistency, even to oneself, what to say about what to go and tell about such an intimate problem to a stranger. Therefore, as a rule, men hide their illness. Some resort to self-treatment with various drugs that stimulate potency. This method gives only a temporary effect and does not affect the true cause of the disease. Moreover, self-medication can start the disease and lead to complications, and then it will be extremely difficult to restore the full functioning of the reproductive system, and in some cases it is impossible.
In order to accurately identify the cause of sexual impotence and start treating it, it is enough to be examined by a doctor. In addition to simple answers to the doctor's questions, it may be necessary to undergo some medical procedures, such as a spermogram and a urethral smear, urine and blood tests, palpation of the scrotum and prostate gland, in some cases an X-ray of the urinary and reproductive systems is required. And only after carrying out all the measures to determine the cause of the disease, the doctor can draw up a program aimed at treating sexual dysfunction.
Methods for the treatment of sexual weakness in men are divided into medical, surgical and psychotherapeutic.
It is chosen depending on the identified reasons that led to sexual problems
The medical method includes taking various drugs that are aimed at increasing blood flow to the pelvic organs, thereby helping to restore an erection. The most famous among these drugs are Viagrav, VCialisv, vImpazav and many others. Hormone therapy may also be required. It includes taking testosterone, which regulates sex hormone levels.
Modern medicine rarely resorts to surgical intervention, only in extreme severe cases. As a rule, surgery is prescribed when other methods of solving the problem do not give positive results. With congenital abnormalities of the penis or with injuries sustained during life, an operative method of solving the problem may be required. Also, this method is resorted to if the vascular system requires it.
In cases where the cause of erectile dysfunction lies in psychological factors, a psychotherapist can help get rid of this problem.
