Male sexual function requires harmony and communication among the vascular, neurologic, hormonal, and psychological systems. The requirement for male sexual activity, getting and maintaining of an erection, is primarily a vascular phenomenon which is triggered by neurologic signals and supported only in the presence of an appropriate hormonal drive and psychological mindset. Lets hack life. Together.
In a survey, the Massachusetts Male Aging Study (MMAS), revealed that male sexual dysfunction, presenting as E.D. (Erectile Dysfunction), diminished libido, or abnormal ejaculation, first emerges as a common problem for men in their early 40s and increases with advancing age. At age 40, as an example, 40 percent acknowledged some level of impaired sexual function and another 10 percent recognized a waning sexual prowess or interest with each succeeding decade.
The frequency of E.D. (Erectile Dysfunction), in men with diabetes increases with age. In one report from a large community diabetes clinic, the prevalence increased from 6 percent in men aged 20 to 24 years to 52 percent in those aged 55 to 59 years.
E.D. (Erectile Dysfunction), and cardiovascular disease share many risk factors, and the dysfunction of cells lining the circulatory system make matters worse. Cardiovascular disease and its risk factors increase the risk for later E.D. In the Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial it was noted that 57 percent of men with high blood pressure or other cardiovascular issues developed E.D. within a 5 year follow up.
Premature ejaculation (PE) is also referred to as rapid or early ejaculation and is now defined as a male sexual dysfunction characterized by the inability to delay ejaculation. Up to 30% of men in community surveys complain about ejaculating to soon or not being able to last long enough.
In a Health and Social Life Survey of younger men ages 18 to 59 years, 31 percent suffered from sexual dysfunction.
Eight of the 12 most commonly prescribed medications list E.D. as a side effect and it is estimated that 25 percent of cases of E.D. are due to medications.
The incidence of reduced libido or sex drive is estimated to be 5 to 15 percent in men. It increases with age, and it frequently accompanies other sexual disorders. Men with ED may experience loss of libido as a secondary consequence of ED.owever, most patients who complain of ED do not complain of reduced libido or sexual desire
