MALE SEX PROBLEMS

Common male sexual problems & its treatments offered

Erectile dysfunction means not being able to obtain or keep an erection sufficient for sexual intercourse. Many people have erectile dysfunction at some time in their lives. Erectile dysfunction, also referred to as impotence, is a form of sexual dysfunction in males characterized by the persistent or recurring inability to achieve or maintain a penile erection with sufficient rigidity and duration for satisfactory sexual activity.

Erectile Dysfunction (ED)is a common condition where a man has difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance. It can result from various factors including physical conditions like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and hormonal imbalances, as well as psychological factors such as stress, anxiety, and depression.

Symptoms of erectile dysfunction include:-

  1. difficulty getting an erection.
  2. difficulty keeping an erection.
  3. difficulty engaging in sexual intercourse, due to your penis not being hard enough.

Treatment for ED may include lifestyle changes, medications, or therapy. At Global Poly Clinic, we offer a comprehensive approach combining modern medicine, Unani, and herbal treatments to address the underlying causes and improve overall sexual health. If you experience ED, seeking medical advice can help identify the cause and provide effective treatment options.

Delayed ejaculation is a sexual dysfunction where a man experiences a significant delay in reaching orgasm and ejaculating during sexual activity, despite adequate sexual stimulation. It can be a frustrating condition for both partners and may lead to distress in relationships. Delayed ejaculation is when you have difficulties reaching orgasm and ejaculating. Ejaculation either takes much longer than desired or does not happen at all.

You may have delayed ejaculation if you:-

  1. have a significant delay before ejaculating.
  2. cannot ejaculate at all, even when you want to and when your erection is normal.
  3. cannot ejaculate at least half the times you have sex.

 Causes can be psychological, such as anxiety or depression, or physical, such as certain medications, nerve damage, or underlying health conditions like diabetes. 

Treatment often involves addressing the underlying cause, which may include therapy, medication adjustments, or lifestyle changes. It’s important to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Low libido or low sex drive refers to a lack of interest in sex and sexual desire. Decreased Libido refers to a reduced interest or desire for sexual activity. It can affect both men and women and may result from a variety of factors, including stress, hormonal imbalances, medical conditions (such as diabetes or thyroid disorders), psychological issues (like depression or anxiety), medications, or relationship problems.

Symptoms of loss of libido might be:-

  1. having no interest in any type of sex including masturbation.
  2. rarely or never having sexual fantasies or thinking of sex.
  3. not getting turned on as easily as you used to.

Lifestyle factors, such as poor sleep, alcohol, and drug use, can also contribute. Treatment often involves addressing the underlying cause, whether it’s through counseling, lifestyle changes, or medical intervention. In some cases, Unani / herbal or alternative therapies may be recommended to help restore sexual desire.

Premature ejaculation is a male sexual dysfunction that occurs when a male expels semen soon after beginning sexual activity, & with minimal penile stimulation. Premature ejaculation is a common sexual disorder in men where ejaculation happens sooner than desired, either before or shortly after sexual penetration. It can lead to dissatisfaction and distress for both partners. PE can be caused by psychological factors like anxiety or stress, or physical factors such as hormonal imbalances or underlying health conditions. Treatments include behavioral techniques, counseling, and medications. In some cases, herbal or alternative remedies may also be effective. Consulting a healthcare professional is crucial for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Premature ejaculation might make it difficult for your partner to conceive (fall pregnant) if ejaculation does not happen inside the vagina.

Premature ejaculation might also increase:-

  1. stress
  2. anxiety
  3. depression
  4. low self-esteem
  5. relationship issues

It has also been called early ejaculation, rapid ejaculation, rapid climax, premature climax & ejaculatio praecox.

Prolonged erection, or priapism, occurs because the blood in the penis becomes trapped and is unable to flow out. A prolonged erection, medically known as priapism, is a condition where an erection lasts for more than four hours without sexual stimulation. This condition can be painful and requires immediate medical attention. Priapism is often caused by blood not being able to flow out of the penis. It can be associated with certain medications, blood disorders like sickle cell anemia, or trauma. If left untreated, priapism can lead to permanent erectile dysfunction and tissue damage. 

Treatment typically involves draining the trapped blood or using medication to reduce blood flow to the area.

The main complication of priapism is erectile dysfunction. The longer the episode of priapism lasts, the more likely you are to develop erectile dysfunction. 

A dry orgasm occurs when a man reaches sexual climax without ejaculating semen. This can happen for several reasons, such as certain medications, prostate surgery, or medical conditions like diabetes or multiple sclerosis. It can also be a result of retrograde ejaculation, where semen enters the bladder instead of exiting through the urethra. While a dry orgasm is usually not harmful, it can impact fertility and may indicate an underlying health issue. 

Dry orgasm can happen when:-there is no semen being made in your body, your semen travels backwards into your bladder instead of coming out of your penis (retrograde ejaculation).

You may have symptoms of other sexual difficulties at the same time, such as: low libido(sex drive), erectile dysfunction (inability to keep an erection and be able to complete sexual activity), delayed ejaculation.

If it occurs frequently or causes concern, it’s advisable to consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and advice.

Azoospermia is a medical condition characterized by the complete absence of sperm in the ejaculate, which can lead to male infertility.

Azoospermia is categorized into two types:-
1. Obstructive Azoospermia:- This occurs when there is a blockage in the reproductive tract that prevents sperm from being present in the ejaculate, even though sperm production in the testes is normal.

2. Non-Obstructive Azoospermia:- This results from problems with sperm production within the testes, which can be due to genetic factors, hormonal imbalances, or damage to the testes.

Diagnosis typically involves a semen analysis, hormonal testing, and sometimes genetic testing or a testicular biopsy. 

Treatment options vary depending on the underlying cause and may include surgery to remove blockages, hormone therapy, or Unani /herbal treatment.

Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for managing azoospermia effectively, especially for couples trying to conceive.

Infertility is a medical condition characterized by the inability to conceive a child after one year of regular, unprotected intercourse. It can affect both men and women and may result from various factors, including hormonal imbalances, structural issues in the reproductive organs, lifestyle factors, or underlying health conditions.

In men, infertility often involves problems with sperm production, function, or delivery. In women, it can result from issues such as ovulation disorders, fallopian tube damage, or uterine conditions.

Treatment for infertility depends on the underlying cause and may include lifestyle changes, Unani and herbal medication , Early diagnosis and treatment can significantly improve the chances of conception.

Low sperm count, also known as oligospermia, is a condition where the number of sperm in a man’s ejaculate is lower than normal. It can reduce the likelihood of fertilizing an egg, leading to challenges with conception. Causes can include lifestyle factors (such as smoking, alcohol use, and obesity), medical conditions (like infections, hormone imbalances, or varicoceles), and environmental influences (like exposure to toxins or excessive heat).

Symptoms might not be noticeable, but fertility challenges often prompt testing. 

Treatment options vary depending on the cause and can include lifestyle changes, Unani and herbal medications, or assisted reproductive technologies. Early diagnosis and intervention can improve outcomes, so it’s essential to consult a healthcare provider if concerns arise.

Masturbation addiction refers to an excessive or compulsive behavior where an individual feels a strong urge to masturbate frequently, often to the point where it begins to interfere with daily life, relationships, work, or overall well-being. Unlike healthy sexual behavior, masturbation addiction can lead to feelings of guilt, shame, anxiety, and physical discomfort. It may also be a sign of underlying emotional or psychological issues such as stress, depression, or loneliness.

Treatment typically involves addressing the root causes through therapy, counseling, and sometimes medical intervention. Developing healthier coping mechanisms, reducing stress, and seeking support from professionals can help individuals regain control and establish a balanced relationship with their sexual health.

Night discharge, also known as nocturnal emission or “wet dreams,” is a natural phenomenon where a person involuntarily ejaculates during sleep. It commonly occurs in adolescent boys and young men, often during puberty, as a result of hormonal changes and sexual development. Ejaculation usually accompanied with erotic dream but sometime it may be without any dreams. If a person has nocturnal emission twice or thrice in a month then no treatment is required but more than this is alarming and treatment is required. Dr.Shauqat Ali  is one of the well experienced doctors who provide this treatment by unani / herbal medication.

Penile curvature refers to an abnormal bending or curve in the penis, often noticeable during erection. It can be caused by several factors, including congenital conditions or acquired conditions like Peyronie’s disease, where fibrous scar tissue forms inside the penis. This can lead to pain, discomfort, and difficulties with sexual function.

Treatment options vary based on the severity of the curvature and may include medications, injections, or surgery. Consulting a healthcare professional is essential for accurate diagnosis and appropriate management by Dr Shauqat Ali.
