  3. Blood tests may be done to determine if there is a hormonal problem contributing to sexual dysfunction.

IMPOTENCE:



Also known as erectile dysfunction .It is defined as the inability of a male to attain and/or maintain an erection of penis during copulation.
Above the age of 65 years 25% o males develop impotence. Most of the cases have a psychogenic cause.


LOSS OF ORGASM:


Loss of orgasm is also called as inhibited orgasm is purely due to psychosomatic rather than organic,particularly when libido and erection of penis are normal.



PRE MATURE EJACULATION:

It is a condition where a male ejaculates and reaches to an orgasm before penetration.There are different types of pre mature ejaculation .They are


1.Premature ejaculation — This refers to ejaculation that occurs before or soon after penetration.


2.Inhibited or retarded ejaculation —This is when ejaculation does not occur.


3.Retrograde ejaculation — This occurs when, at orgasm, the ejaculate is forced back into the bladder rather than through the urethra and out the end of the penis.


Premature ejaculation, the most commonest form of sexual dysfunction in men, often is due to performance anxiety during sex. Intercourse after long intervals may also result in prematureejaculation.


In some cases, premature and inhibited ejaculation are caused by psychological factors, including a strict religious background that causes the person to view sex as sinful, a lack of attraction for a partner and past traumatic events.


Retrograde ejaculation is most common in males with diabetes who suffer from diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage). This is due to problems with the nerves in the bladder and the bladder neck that allow the ejaculate to flow backward. In other men, retrograde ejaculation occurs after operations on the bladder neck or prostate, or after certain abdominal operations.


In addition, certain medications, particularly those used to treat mood disorders, may cause problems with ejaculation.




LOSS OF LIBIDO:



It is also called as lack of sexual interest .It has been associated with low levels of the hormone testosterone. It also may be caused by psychological problems, such as anxiety and depression; medical illnesses such as diabetes and high blood pressure; certain medications, including some anti-depressants; and relationship difficulties.

2.Serum testerosterone , prolactin, FSH, and LH should done.


3Ultra sonogram should be done if needed.

  • For psychological causes of sexual dysfunction, such as relationship problems, counseling, either individually or as a couple, may be beneficial.

  • Sexual therapy with a therapist who specializes in sexual dysfunction may also help.

  • Any physical problems that may be affecting sexual function should be addressed.

  • If a medication is interfering with sexual function, it may be possible to change or discontinue the medication.
