Are Erectile Dysfunction & Premature Ejaculation Getting More Common In Young Men?

Sex is sacred but there are a lot of abnormalities that most commonly makes the experience of sex ‘stressful’. On the occasion of International Men’s Day that falls on November 19th, we will come across the most common problems occurring these days in young men during sex – Erectile Dysfunction and Premature Ejaculation.

Widely, there is a misconception that sexual problems like Erectile Dysfunction and Premature Ejaculation, by and large, occur in adults but with several surveys that are conducted in recent years, it is found that younger males are more prone to ED and PE. Young adults also feel uncomfortable discussing these problems due to the myth that only adults face such problems.

A recent study conducted by Co-op Pharmacy suggested that nearly 50 per cent of men in their 30s often struggle with the problem of ED. The most common complication among them is stress from their work and personal life.

Around 30-60% of individuals with ED also tend to experience PE. Additionally, ED may lead to PE when people rush to ejaculate because they know they cannot sustain an erection and develop a habit. If a doctor suspects a person has ED and PE, they will typically treat ED first, which often improves PE.

What is Erectile Dysfunction?

ED or Erectile Dysfunction is the trouble of maintaining an erection of the penis that is firm enough for intercourse. Males face this problem, leading to dissatisfaction during sexual intercourse for both partners.

This is also important to know that if the problem of ED arises sometimes, like when a person is under the influence of some kind of drugs, it might not be concerning. If this is happening too often or every time you are having a sexual encounter, this needs to be taken seriously and proper treatment is a must.

Psychological causes are the most common among the youngsters for ED. Stress, lack of confidence, relationship issues and depression stops you from experiencing pleasure while having sex and eventually it turns into a lack of interest along with fatigue and sadness. This is the most common cause of erectile dysfunction among young adults and teenagers.

One most common causes of ED among younger men are related to watching porn that is named porn-induced erectile dysfunction (PIED). Pornographic videos lead to unrealistic expectations of having sexual intercourse with your partner. Reality has a wider perspective to this as intercourse depends on the body to body. Not everyone likes or can have the same kind of sex. What you expect during sex, might not be the choice of your partner and this may further add to the stress.

Erectile dysfunction and symptoms of infertility are often considered synonymous, but this is not true. Having an erectile dysfunction does not mean that a man cannot father children. Erectile dysfunction does not have a direct impact on fertility. However, it can make it harder for the couple to conceive.

Dr. Ashish Bajaj – M.B.B.S, M.D.

Causes of ED

There are many causes of Erectile Dysfunction but the most common include psychological, neurological, and lifestyle-related issues. Physical and Emotional factors also contribute to ED. Stress, anxiety and loss of sleep are a few of the most common causes of ED and this is due to the unhealthy lifestyle, the younger generations usually follow nowadays.

Erectile Dysfunction causes include:

Symptoms & Complications of ED

It is important to visit professionals to discuss the problems related to sexual activities. Below are a few symptoms that a male goes through if he is facing Erectile Dysfunction:

What is Premature Ejaculation?

Having sex is not important but ‘enjoying sex’ is important. Premature Ejaculation is a type of sexual dysfunction where a man has an orgasm and ejects semen sooner than his partner’s desire. In simple words, a ‘climax too quickly is all about PE. A National Survey of Sexual Attitudes reported that 4.5% of young men aged between 16 to 21 face the most common sexual problem of premature ejaculation.

Experts say that PE is not a sign of a serious health problem but it largely affects the emotional wellbeing of teenagers or young adults.

Various factors affect quick ejaculation in teenagers and young adults. Some common ones include – less knowledge about sex, lack of sexual experience, possible interference of masturbation and poor self-perception of who we are sexually attracted to. It is also important to understand that sex is about having pleasure and erotically creativity rather than having intense or aggressive intercourse. Unusual expectations during sex also lead to premature ejaculation among teenagers.

Treatment

There are many ways to treat premature ejaculation and it depends on its intensity.

Takeaway

ED & PE is a completely normal and common type of sexual concern that affects several young men. The prime cause of erectile dysfunction in younger aged men is emotional, psychological or relationship-related issues that can be easily managed with professional help (psychiatrist). Any of these home remedies, medicines and natural treatments can help you manage your symptoms. Inform your doctor if you have any history of allergy to medicines (if experienced in the past).

If your symptoms persist, consult your doctor to rule out any underlying causes and explore other treatment options.

World Men’s Day – Are Urological Disorders Challenging Your Manhood?

We all know that diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular diseases are life-threatening but the good thing about these conditions is that you can talk about them without being subjected to any kind of ridicule or shame. On the other hand, Urological Disorders continue to be a taboo that people do not like to speak about even with their friends.

With World Men’s Day just around the corner (November 19), we would like to take this opportunity to highlight some of the most common urological disorders men face at least once in their lifetime and prefer not to talk about them because of a “social stigma” attached to them.

Additionally, you can also take health checkups to understand your health better. 

Most Common Urological Disorders in Men:

  1. Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)

BPH basically means an enlarged prostate, which usually affects older men. Apart from being a very troublesome condition, it can be dangerous too. In this condition, the prostate, which is a walnut-sized gland found between the bladder and the male reproductive organ, gets bigger than its usual size and causes trouble in urination.

The most common symptoms of BPH include:

  1. Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)

In this urological condition, a man experiences pain or burning sensation while urinating. Some people also experience cloudy urine after contracting UTI. There are some specific tests available to ascertain if the person is suffering from UTI or has some other condition.

UTI is easily treatable with a round of antibiotics prescribed by your doctor.

  1. Over Active bladder(OAB)

Overactive bladder is a combination of symptoms that can cause you to need to urinate more frequently, have more urgency, experience incontinence (leakage) and a need to urinate at night. 

  1. Prostatitis

Prostatitis is a very prevalent condition among men. In it, the prostate gland gets swollen and inflamed. This condition presents itself with various troubling symptoms like pain while urinating, fever coupled with chills and pain in the abdominal, lower back and pelvic area (area of- the lower body in which the legs are attached).

Due to presenting similar symptoms, people usually confuse prostatitis with urinary tract infection. Hence, it is advised to see a urologist for an accurate diagnosis of the problem and opting the right course of treatment. Generally, antibiotics treat this problem effectively.

  1. Erectile Dysfunction (ED)

Erectile Dysfunction or ED refers to a condition in which a man finds it difficult to get or maintain an erection. There are plenty of modes of treatments available for this urological condition including medications, surgery, psychological counselling, lifestyle changes, testosterone replacement and acupuncture. The lifestyle changes that can help are weight loss, quitting to smoke, reducing stress and following a strict exercise regime. Additionally, inform your doctor if you have any history of allergy to medicines (if experienced in the past).

  1. Infertility

This is also a very prevalent urological condition among men these days. The main causes of infertility among men, when they cannot conceive a child, are abnormal sperm production, genetic defects, underlying health conditions like diabetes, undescended testicles, trauma or prior surgeries on the testicles and prior infections like mumps.

When you are unable to conceive a child for over a year, you should immediately see a gynaecologist, an endocrinologist to diagnose the actual problem and begin with an accurate treatment plan.

  1. Kidney Stones

This is a very common problem among the masses these days. It happens when minerals and other crystals, like uric acid and calcium, accumulate in the kidneys or any other part of the urinary tract. This causes a lot of pain and is really difficult to pass. These, however, are very easily diagnosable. The treatment for kidney stones is ascertained depending upon their size and location.

The doctors use medications to reduce the size of the stone to make it easily passable. There can be instances like the large size of the stone or it blocking the flow of urine when a surgical procedure may be required to remove them.

  1. Prostate Cancer

The second biggest reason behind cancer-related deaths among men is prostate cancer. It begins with the uncontrolled, abnormal growth of cells in the prostate gland. Some of the most common causes of this kind of cancer are age, race, ethnicity and family history.

The best way to prevent and successfully treat prostate cancer is early detection of the disease. Experts suggest men should go for a regular prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test along with a digital rectal examination every year once they turn 40. The doctors decide the course of treatment depending upon the state of the disease. The treatment options include surgery, medications, radiation therapy and active surveillance.

Takeaway

Urological disorders are very common among men these days and they usually suffer in silence which leads to bigger troubles in the future. Instead of feeling ashamed of these common issues, people should treat these like every other health condition and see a doctor immediately to avoid any further complications. Avoid self-medicating and see a doctor immediately to avoid any further complications.

Erectile Dysfunction: It’s Time To Address This Health Issue!

Not many people like to talk about sexual illnesses. But the fact is, these illnesses can happen to anyone and it is important to have some knowledge regarding them so that we can identify them and get the help that we need.  

One common sexual disorder among men is erectile dysfunction or ED. Is it very common in India? Yes, more than 10 million men in India are diagnosed with it every year. Fortunately, this condition is treatable. Read on to know the basics about this illness.

What is erectile dysfunction?

Some men are unable to get an erection or sustain it for long enough to engage in sexual intercourse. Not getting an erection at times of stress or grief is quite natural. But ED is a condition when the issue becomes chronic, meaning one always finds it difficult to get an erection.  

ED can have a traumatic impact on a man’s mind as it makes him think he is impotent. It can also give rise to intimacy issues in a relationship.  

Erectile dysfunction is a widespread condition in males over 40 years of age all over the world. It has a variety of causes and is often treatable. Left untreated, it can be the source of severe emotional stress to both patient and partner.

Dr. M.G. Kartheeka, MBBS, MD

How will you know for sure that you have ED?

Since the absence of an erection can sometimes be a result of emotional turmoil, how can you tell if it is simply a temporary problem or sexual dysfunction?

If you have ED, you will notice these symptoms –

If these symptoms continue for more than 2 months, you most likely have erectile dysfunction.

Also, if you are a chronic patient, you are more susceptible to ED.

It’s true that ED is most common among older men, but ageing isn’t the only contributing factor to the condition. A wide range of other factors can cause ED symptoms in men of all ages.

Dr. Ashish Bajaj – M.B.B.S, M.D.

  Why is erectile dysfunction a cause of concern?

Not only does erectile dysfunction cause problems in a relationship, but it could also be a sign of an underlying health condition. ED can result from one of these illnesses that require immediate treatment-

What raises your risk of getting ED?

Here are a few factors that make erectile dysfunction more likely-

ED also has psychological factors. If you’re unhappy or distrustful in your current relationship, it may contribute to ED regardless of your age.

Dr. Ashish Bajaj – M.B.B.S, M.D.

How is erectile dysfunction diagnosed?

Firstly, a healthcare expert will ask you detailed questions about your symptoms and your medical history. Avoid self-medicating and always consult a doctor beforehand if you are suffering from any chronic ailments. 

Is there any test that helps detect ED? Your doctor may ask you to do a few tests like blood tests, sonography or the Nocturnal Penile Tumescence test.

Is ED curable?

Thankfully, erectile dysfunction can be managed. If the cause of this disorder is psychological, then sexual counselling may help. Talking with a therapist will help you overcome those mental blocks that are preventing you from getting an erection.  

If the cause of this disorder is some medicines that you are taking, your doctor may decrease the dose of these or change the medication.

In case there are other causes, you may be prescribed medicines that will improve blood flow to the penis and make an erection possible. These medicines may have serious side effects and should only be taken after consulting a doctor. 

Based on your underlying condition, medication can be herbal or allopathic. You can decide which you want to opt for and talk to your healthcare provider about any history of allergy to medicines (if experienced in the past).

Treatment can also comprise therapy. It’s very important to note here that Erectile Dysfunction is nothing to be ashamed of. With the right treatment, you can have a normal and happy sex life.
