Male Fertility & Sexual Health

Here are some common male sexual health conditions:

• Erectile Dysfunction (ED): As discussed earlier, ED is the consistent inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for sexual activity. It can result from physical factors (such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or hormonal imbalances), psychological factors (like stress or anxiety), or a combination of both.
• Premature Ejaculation (PE): Premature ejaculation refers to the inability to control or delay ejaculation, leading to ejaculation occurring shortly after sexual stimulation or even before penetration. It can be related to psychological factors, sensitivity issues, or a lack of experience.
• Delayed Ejaculation (DE): Delayed ejaculation involves significant delay or difficulty in achieving ejaculation, even with adequate sexual stimulation. It can result from physical factors, psychological factors, or both.
• Low Testosterone (Hypogonadism): Low testosterone levels can lead to a range of symptoms, including reduced libido, erectile dysfunction, fatigue, and mood changes. Hormone replacement therapy can be used to address low testosterone levels.
• Priapism: Priapism is a prolonged and painful erection that persists beyond sexual stimulation. It is a medical emergency and requires immediate medical attention to prevent complications.
• Peyronie’s Disease: Peyronie’s disease involves the development of fibrous scar tissue inside the penis, causing curvature, pain, and difficulties with erections.
• Loss of Libido (Low Sex Drive): A decrease in sexual desire can result from physical factors (like hormonal imbalances), psychological factors, or relationship issues.
• Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs): Various STIs, such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and genital herpes, can impact sexual health and function. Safe sex practices and regular STI screenings are important.
• Sexual Dysfunction After Prostate Cancer Treatment: Treatments for prostate cancer, such as surgery or radiation therapy, can impact sexual function by affecting nerves, blood flow, or hormonal levels.
• Anorgasmia: Anorgasmia is the inability to achieve orgasm, even though ejaculation may occur. It can result from psychological factors, medication side effects, or medical conditions.
• Genital Pain or Discomfort: Conditions like epididymitis, testicular torsion, or Peyronie’s disease can cause pain or discomfort in the genital region.
