Ejaculation Issues?

Ejaculation is a touchy subject in our culture, so it’s no surprise that premature ejaculation is as well.  In fact, premature ejaculation often falls into the deep abyss of the unspoken — and how are we supposed to learn about it if we can’t talk about it?

Being as hush-hush as it is, it comes as no surprise that most people don’t know much about the types of ejaculation.  There are three main types of ejaculation; premature, delayed and retrograde.  Premature ejaculation is among the most bothersome and according to sociologist Edward Laumann, PhD, it is estimated that a third of men in America complain that they ejaculate too quickly.

Delayed ejaculation, however, is prevalent in far fewer men than premature ejaculation. An estimated 3% of men experience delayed ejaculation.  Delayed ejaculation is less prominent because many men “give up” before ejaculation occurs. Delayed ejaculation can be caused by a number of things, namely: antidepressants. Anti-depressants cause nerve endings in the penis to become less sensitive and therefore resulting in a delayed orgasm.

Retrograde ejaculation, like delayed ejaculation, can also be caused by anti-depressants as well as antipsychotic medications and is most prevalent in individuals suffering from diabetes and nerve damage. Retrograde ejaculation causes the semen to withdraw back into the bladder during an orgasm instead of being released. Because the semen is not released until urination, there are known complication when trying to conceive.

If you suffer from any of these, chances are you’re fed up.  You’re not the only one.  Boston Medical Group physicians have helped thousands of men confront and find solutions for ejaculation issues.

Herbal Supplements for a Healthier Sex Life?

When approaching something as important as improving your sexual health, it is imperative that you talk to a doctor about what options are best for you. While herbal supplements claim to be a healthier alternative for better sexual performance, remedies like Firmdose, Ezerex and Vicerex can lead to an array of uncomfortable consequences.

Because alternative products are not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), it is difficult to be sure of what you are getting; talking to your doctor is the best way to explore the side effects and results of herbal remedies for erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation.

Your doctor can explain what to expect when using products like these.

Some tips and tricks:

1. If a supplement has more than one herb, chances are higher for side effects.

2. Some side effects to be wary of are: increased heart rate, anxiety, insomnia, diarrhea, skin rashes and nausea.

3. Look for both scientific and common names of herbs in the ingredients

4. Do some research on scientific studies of the supplement.

5. Mark on a calendar when you started using the supplement so that if any kind of side effect approaches, you can figure out if it started at the same time or shortly thereafter.

6. Most importantly, if you are taking nitrates, have a heart condition or are taking prescription drugs, talk to your doctor before taking any herbal supplements.

There’s a plethora of options out there, Herbal Supplements, Healthy diets to improve libido or Boston Medical Group’s unique approach.  If you have a heart condition and cannot use medications like Viagra, looking into Boston Medical Group might be well worth your while.

Erectile Dysfunction linked to Obesity?

Could weight have a connection to Erectile Dysfunction?

According to a new study published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine, it just might.  The study focused on 2,435 Italian male patients who seeked outpatient treatment for sexual dysfunction between 2007 and 2001. Among those who participated, 41.5% were of normal weight, 42.4% were over weight, 12.1% were obese, and 4% were severely obese. The mean age of the study was 52.

For men, obesity’s influence on sexual function appears to be a physical issue — not a self-esteem or emotional problem.  The study also concluded that conditions related to obesity, particularly hypertension (or high blood pressure), are the most significant causes of obesity-related erectile dysfunction. Abnormal penile blood flow was found to be linked to high blood pressure.

Can Yoga Help Men Last Longer?

For guys who have trouble lasting in bed, a multi-faceted strategy is often needed to overcome the problem.  Not only medication, but exercise and various other strategies can help address premature ejaculation issues.  Now comes word that the ancient practice and modern phenomenon of yoga may lead to more stamina in the sack.

According to a recent study published in the journal of sexual health:

“A group of men, all of whom admitted to regularly having premature ejaculations during intercourse, found that practicing an hour of yoga each day for 12 weeks helped them triple the time they normally lasted in bed.”

Could it be time to relax and say “om”?  It might be worth a try!

Psychological Impotence Causes

Psychological factors comprise about 10% of erection problems and many times result from nervousness, performance anxiety or fear of failure while lovemaking. These factors manifest physically through a surge of adrenaline, which reduces blood flow to the penile area, resulting in erectile difficulty. Psychological ED can become self-perpetuating. After multiple episodes of failure, the body becomes attuned to releasing adrenaline simply at the thought of a sexual encounter. This can develop into a vicious cycle extremely difficult to stop  without treatment.

Other less common causes include low sexual drive, anxiety, guilt, depression, or sexual boredom.

Psychological erectile dysfunction characteristics include the following:

• Maintaining or achieving an erection with one partner but not with another
• Maintaining lasting and strong erections in the mornings and during masturbation but not while lovemaking.
• Propensity to affect younger men with unsettling past experiences or relationships which are not stable.
