What are S e x u a l problems in men? As per Doctor Advice - Part-2

What is the treatment for Erotic problems in men?          

Treatment depends greatly on the exact cause of the Erotic problem.    

If the cause is psychological, help from a psychiatrist or psychologist can be helpful. Often in this situation, cognitive behavioral therapy is the treatment used. Sometimes the treatment will include couples therapy.     

If the cause of the diminished libido is from medications being taken, sometimes there are alternative medications without Erotic side effects. For others, hormonal replacement may be suggested.     

Talk to your doctor about any changes in libido you have experienced.         

What is low libido (low Erotic desire)?   

The definition of low libido is when Erotic desire is diminished or absent. The definition also varies according to the patient's level of satisfaction of his own Erotic desire. Some men can be very fulfilled with what some men consider scarce Erotic activity.     

Erotic desire problems affect a small percentage of men in the general population. Libido is mainly a hormonal and brain phenomenon. Erotic desire requires normal levels of testosterone (male hormone) in the blood and a certain attraction for the partner in question.      

What are the symptoms of low libido?   

• Lack of desire to initiate s e x      
• Inability to attain an erection    

If the patient experiences an episode of erectile dysfunction without any previous Erotic symptoms and adequate nocturnal erection, the cause is probably psychogenic and not physiological. It is also important to specify whether the low libido is new in onset or if the patient has always felt this way about s e x.

What is erectile dysfunction (impotence)? Who gets it?   

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the inability to acquire or maintain a satisfactory erection. The prevalence of erectile dysfunction varies according to the patient's age. About 16% of men from 50 to 59 years of age will suffer from erectile dysfunction and 44% of those aged 70 to 75 years will, too.    

There are three types of erections -- those caused by tactile stimulation, those caused by mental stimulation, and those that men experience while sleeping. This classification can be important when the cause of erectile dysfunction is yet to be determined.    

In order to have an erection, men need stimuli; they need blood arriving from the arteries and have veins capable of locking the blood in place. Each of the numerous steps in this system can fail making erectile dysfunction a complex problem for investigation.
