Often times, we find that men are quite reluctant to talk about their sexual health. But, on experiencing issues related to sexual dysfunctioning, getting medical help from a consultant urologist in Dubai at the right time can help them cure their condition easily. The objective of this blog is to educate men on the various sexual disorders that need attention and how they can be treated.

Sexual dysfunction is nothing but a broad term used to define an issue that prevents men from wanting or enjoying sexual activity. Mostly this is caused due to age, stress, trauma, psychological issues and diseases like diabetes or heart condition. External factors like drug and alcohol abuse as well as unhealthy lifestyle and obesity can also pave the way for sexual dysfunctioning.

 

What All Disorders Come Under Sexual Dysfunction?

 

Consultant Urologists consider four categories of sexual dysfunction but considered them as a serious disorder only when it affects the quality of life of an individual. Take a look at the four common issues found –

 

 

• Pain Disorder

 

Some individuals experience painful intercourse which could be an indicator of other issues.

 

 

• Desire Disorder

 

When an individual experience little to no interest in sexual relations on an ongoing basis, it is considered a disorder.

 

 

• Arousal Disorder

 

When an individual is emotionally ready for sexual activity by the body fails to respond, it is considered a disorder.

 

 

• Orgasm Disorder

 

When an individual is fully aroused yet unable to attain climax, itis also considered as a disorder.

 

 

• Erectile dysfunction

 

This is another disorder commonly experienced by men as they age. When an individual is not able to maintain an erection long enough for intercourse, it is called erectile dysfunction or ED. The condition can be caused by physical as well as emotional issues. An injury to the penis, nerve disorders, Peyronie’s disease, blood circulation issues and such are some of the physical causes of ED, while stress, depression and relationship issues can lead also lead to prolonged ED in men.

 

 

• Ejaculation disorders

 

Some men experience premature ejaculation, where the individual ejaculates before or immediately after penetration. This could be due to physical issues like a nerve or spinal cord damage or emotional issues like stress or performance anxiety.

Some men have an inhibited ejaculation is where they are unable to ejaculate at all. Older men with diabetic neuropathy sometimes experience “retrograde ejaculation”, where the ejaculation enters the bladder instead of exiting through the penis.

 

Diagnosis And Treatments

Men who regularly experience one or more of the above mentioned disordered are strongly recommended to consult their consultant urologists in Dubai. By undergoing a comprehensive diagnosis, your andrologist will be able to find the cause for your condition and recommend treatments accordingly.

 

The treatment for sexual dysfunction depends on the underlying cause of the condition. For instance, if the cause of dysfunction is found to be psychological, the patient is referred to a sex therapist, who can ease the severity of the issue through therapy and lifestyle changes.

 

Treating Erectile Dysfunction

 

ED can be effectively managed through P-Shot treatment. In this treatment, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) derived from the patient’s own blood is injected back into the penis, which can repair the blood vessels and nerve cells. The growth and healing factors in PRP help the patient manage his condition without any side effects.

Another method used for treating ED is shockwave treatment. Similar to P-shot, the treatment focuses on repairing the blood vessels in the penis, which helps in managing the disorder. Low-intensity acoustic waves are used to trigger a process called neovascularization in the penis. This causes new blood vessels to form, which improves blood flow to the region.

Treating Premature Ejaculation

 

This condition is often treated with a combination of oral medicines and magnetic pelvic stimulation. P- Shot treatment used for treating ED can also actively help in sustaining an erection with better ejaculation control.
