Men’s Health and Potency Problems
Men’s health plays a crucial role in overall well-being, yet issues related to sexual function and potency are often overlooked.
Conditions such as weak erection, premature ejaculation, low libido, and the need for penile prosthesis insertion can significantly impact confidence, relationships, and quality of life.
Dr Muthana Alrawi, a highly experienced Consultant Urologist and Andrologist, provides specialised care for men facing these concerns. With advanced diagnostics and tailored treatment plans, he helps restore sexual function and improve overall health, offering solutions based on individual needs.
Understanding Sexual Dysfunction in Men
Sexual dysfunction refers to any issues that affect a person’s ability to participate in or enjoy sexual activity. These challenges can interfere with intimacy, reduce sexual desire, or hinder overall satisfaction.
Individuals experiencing sexual dysfunction may face difficulties with:
Sexual desire
Arousal
Orgasm
Types of Sexual Dysfunction Affecting Men
Premature ejaculation is a prevalent sexual dysfunction in which a person ejaculates sooner than desired, leading to frustration and dissatisfaction for both partners. It can significantly impact sexual relationships and emotional well-being.
This common condition can be due to low serotonin or dopamine levels in the brain, depression, stress, performance anxiety, etc.
Symptoms of Premature Ejaculation:
- Ejaculation occurring within one minute of penetration
- Inability to delay ejaculation during sexual activity
- Frustration or embarrassment over the condition
- Impact on relationship satisfaction and sexual pleasure
Treatment for Premature Ejaculation
Our premature ejaculation treatment in Dubai includes the following:
- Behavioural Therapy: Techniques such as the start-stop method and pelvic floor exercises can help improve control.
- Medicines: Selective Serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and topical anaesthetics can delay ejaculation.
- Counselling and Therapy: Addressing anxiety or performance-related stress through psychotherapy.
- Lifestyle Modifications: Healthy dietary choices, regular exercise, and stress management techniques to enhance control
Erectile dysfunction, which involves the inability to achieve or maintain an erection, impacts millions of men worldwide.
A weak erection can be caused by poor blood circulation, nerve damage, hormonal imbalances, diabetes, hypertension, or psychological issues.
Symptoms of Erectile Dysfunction
- Difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection
- Reduced sexual desire
- Anxiety or embarrassment related to sexual performance
- Inability to maintain an erection throughout intercourse
Treatment for Erectile Dysfunction
- Medications: Oral medications can enhance blood flow to the penis, enabling you to get an erection in response to sexual stimulation.
- Shockwave Therapy: A non-invasive treatment that improves circulation and stimulates tissue repair.
- Hormone Therapy: For men with testosterone deficiencies, hormone replacement can restore sexual function.
- Penile Implant Surgery: For severe ED cases, penile prosthesis insertion in Dubai provides a permanent and effective solution.
Low libido, also called as low sex drive, is a consistent lack of interest in sex or lack of sexual desire.
It can be distressing and may stem from factors such as hormonal imbalances, age, chronic stress, depression, certain medications, underactive thyroid or lifestyle habits.
Symptoms of Low Libido
- A noticeable lack of interest or desire for sex
- A decrease in sexual fantasies or thoughts
- Avoidance of sexual intimacy or decreased frequency of sexual activity
- Feelings of frustration or guilt regarding the lack of sexual desire
Treatment for Low Libido in Men
Our treatment for low libido in males involves:
- Testosterone Replacement Therapy: Levels of low testosterone can lead to decreased libido, fatigue, and mood changes. Supplementation can restore energy and sexual desire.
- Medication: If low libido is a side effect of a medication, a change in prescription may be suggested.
- Treating Underlying Conditions: Addressing any underlying conditions, such as an underactive thyroid or other hormonal imbalances, can improve a person’s sex drive.
- Dietary and Lifestyle Changes: Improving sleep, maintaining a nutritious diet, and regular exercise can boost sexual desire.
- Psychological Support: Therapy to address anxiety, stress, or relationship issues that can contribute to low libido.
