5 things to know about men’s sexual health:
The most common problem is erectile dysfunction
Many men experience erectile dysfunction (ED), which is a problem getting or keeping an erection strong enough for intercourse. Impotence, often known as ED, is mostly brought on by blood flow issues like high blood pressure or vascular disease, which are prevalent in ageing men. Prostate cancer operations, smoking, taking certain medications, and abusing alcohol or narcotics are other risk factors for having ED.
Emotional or psychological issues can cause ED
Stress, melancholy, and other emotional disturbances frequently result in male sexual dysfunction. Physicians will assess a patient’s impotence in the context of their mental or emotional well-being when ED is not brought on by obvious physiological issues. To address the psychosocial causes of ED and to help patients and their partners return to a normal level of sexual functioning, a team of sex therapists at the Men’s Health Center collaborates with them and their partners in a welcoming, instructive, and private environment.
Male infertility may account for up to one-third of infertility cases
Low sperm production, anatomical anomalies, testicular injuries, and genetic or immunological illnesses, among many other things, can all be causes of male infertility. An extensive medical examination, laboratory testing, imaging studies, and semen analysis are all required to pinpoint the precise reason for infertility. The medical staff at Sujata Birla Hospital is skilled in diagnosing and managing male infertility.
Peyronie’s disease can be caused by minor trauma
When a plaque or scar tissue develops inside the penis’ erection tissue, Peyronie’s disease takes place. Many men with Peyronie’s disease have experienced mild trauma that resulted in bleeding inside the penis, however, the precise trauma that caused the bleeding inside the penis is unknown. Although the plaque is benign and noncancerous, depending on where it is, it may cause the penis to bow upward or downward. Typically, men with Peyronie’s endure pain during an erection or have trouble having sexual relations.
An ultrasound examination is used by doctors to identify the structure and function of the erectile system in order to diagnose Peyronie’s. The initial pain from Peyronie usually goes away in 6 to 12 months, allowing the patient to resume normal sexual activity. A personalised treatment strategy can be used to treat the plaque.
Consider a vasectomy as a permanent method of birth control
A vasectomy is a quick, minimally invasive surgical treatment meant to permanently prevent conception in men. A surgeon cuts the tubes that carry sperm throughout the male reproductive system during this 30-minute surgery. A vasectomy is incredibly effective at preventing pregnancy and has no negative effects on a man’s sexual health. Because it is difficult to reverse, it is regarded as a permanent method of birth control.
