Flashcards

Male sexual dysfunction causes

Male sexual dysfunction can arise from various factors, including physical conditions (like impaired blood flow), psychological issues (like anxiety or relationship problems), and lifestyle choices (like substance abuse or excessive pornography use).

Pornography's effect on sexual health

Frequent pornography use can negatively impact sexual function, including decreased libido and erectile dysfunction, by potentially altering perceptions of sex or leading to relationship conflicts.

Reduced libido causes

Decreased sex drive can result from aging, hormonal imbalances (especially low testosterone), mental health issues (like depression), and substance use (including alcohol, nicotine, marijuana, and opioids).

Erectile Dysfunction (ED) implications

Erectile dysfunction (ED) suggests potential issues with blood flow to the penis, requiring evaluation to determine the underlying cause.

Erectile Dysfunction Treatment

ED treatments include medications like PDE5 inhibitors, injectable medications or suppositories, vacuum devices, and penile implants.

If ED appears suddenly & unrelated to surgery, it likely stems from performance anxiety or relationship issues, demanding psychological counseling.

Types of Urinary Incontinence

The most common types are stress, urgency, overflow, and functional. Stress incontinence occurs when pressure is put on the bladder, like when coughing or exercising. Urgency incontinence involves a sudden, strong urge to urinate. Overflow incontinence happens when the bladder is full but unable to fully empty.
