Male sexual disorders are a group of conditions that can interfere with sexual performance, often leading to dissatisfaction for both the individual and their partner. These issues may stem from either physical or psychological factors and can affect men of any age, though they are more commonly seen in older men.
Causes of Male Sexual Disorders:
Physical Causes:
- Low testosterone levels
- Side effects of medications
- Blood vessel disorders
- Stroke
- Nerve damage
- Smoking, alcohol abuse, and substance use
Psychological Causes:
- Low self-esteem
- Relationship issues
- Depression or anxiety
- History of sexual trauma
Common Male Sexual Disorders:
- Erectile Dysfunction (ED): Erectile dysfunction, commonly referred to as impotence, occurs when a man cannot achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for sexual satisfaction. ED is diagnosed when erection issues persist for a few months. Occasional instances of difficulty do not typically indicate a chronic problem.
- Premature Ejaculation: This condition occurs when ejaculation happens sooner than desired, either by the individual or their partner. Diagnosis depends on how often and how long the problem persists. Premature ejaculation affects 30-40% of men and is one of the most common sexual concerns.
- Low Libido: A diminished or absent sexual drive, often referred to as low libido, is a prevalent sexual health issue. It is typically linked to emotional, psychological, or physical factors, including mental well-being.
Diagnosis of Male Sexual Disorders: Diagnostic procedures vary based on the specific condition, but urologists often begin with a series of general tests, such as:
- Blood tests
- Blood pressure monitoring
- Digital rectal examination
- Physical examination of reproductive organs
Your healthcare provider will also review your medical and sexual history, along with any symptoms, their duration, and any relationship difficulties.
Treatment of Male Sexual Disorders: Treatment options for male sexual dysfunction are tailored to the individual’s diagnosis, overall health, age, and specific condition. Approaches may differ depending on whether the concern is erectile dysfunction or another disorder.
Common treatment methods include:
- Medications
- Counseling
- Hormone therapy
- Medical devices, such as penile implants
