How to Become a Better Man: Sexual Health Treatments

Discover the Most Effective Sexual Health Treatments for a Satisfying Intimate Life

A dysfunctional sex life will almost automatically put a strain on your romantic relationships. While the occasional mishap in the bedroom is completely normal, reoccurring issues shouldn’t be taken lightly. As a man, getting your sexual health in check should be one of your main priorities since poor sexual performance can be an indicator of an underlying health problem. Over time, your performance can also lead to low self-esteem. The good news is that sexual health treatments can correct most issues in time. Learn more about the common sexual health problems you may encounter as a man, the signs and symptoms to watch for, and available sexual health treatments if necessary. 

Common Men’s Sexual Health Problems

Understanding the various challenges that can affect men’s sexual health is essential for maintaining overall well-being. Let’s delve into some of the common men’s sexual health problems and their associated symptoms.

1. Low Libido or Reduced Sex Drive

Low libido, often referred to as reduced sex drive, is a condition characterized by a notable decrease in the desire for sexual activity. It can affect men of all ages and is influenced by various factors, including physical, psychological, and hormonal changes. Stress, relationship issues, medication side effects, and underlying medical conditions can all contribute to this issue. Low libido can impact one’s self-esteem and overall quality of life, making it essential to identify its causes and explore potential treatments or lifestyle adjustments to restore a healthy and satisfying sex life.

2. Premature Ejaculation

Premature ejaculation (PE) is a common sexual issue in which a man reaches orgasm and ejaculates earlier than desired during sexual intercourse. It often occurs with minimal sexual stimulation and can lead to distress or dissatisfaction for both partners. PE can have various causes, including psychological factors like anxiety or relationship issues, as well as physical factors such as heightened sensitivity or altered nerve signaling.

3. Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is the inability to get an erection. The severity of this condition can come in many forms. Some men may not be able to get an erection every once in a while, while others may not be able to at all. Sadly, it’s estimated that one in 10 adult males suffer from erectile dysfunction. Common symptoms of erectile dysfunction (ED) include: 

  • Difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection
  • Reduced rigidity of erections
  • Inconsistent ability to achieve or sustain erections
  • Decreased sexual desire or interest
  • Anxiety, stress, or frustration related to sexual performance
  • Lack of morning erections
  • Relationship issues or dissatisfaction due to sexual difficulties
  • Psychological distress or lowered self-esteem as a result of ED

Erectile dysfunction has several triggers. Illnesses such as certain vascular diseases may block blood supply to the penis and cause ED symptoms. Fear of not performing well and high amounts of stress can all negatively affect how you perform. While smoking, alcohol, and a lack of exercise can also lead to difficulties in bed. 

4. Peyronie’s Disease

Peyronie’s disease is a buildup of scar tissue underneath the penile skin that causes a bend or curve. Erections with Peyronie’s can be extremely painful, often preventing men from having sex altogether. If left untreated, this condition will gradually worsen over time. Common symptoms to look out for include: 

  • Penile Curvature
  • Penile Pain
  • Plaque Formation
  • Erectile Dysfunction
  • Shortening of the Penis
  • Penile Deformities

Unfortunately, the causes of Peyronie’s are not fully understood. Repeated injury to the penis seems to be a common culprit, such as damage during sex or athletic activity. 

5. Low Testosterone

Testosterone levels steadily decrease as you age, but certain lifestyle factors can force levels to change severely. Cancer and cancer treatments, damage to the testicles, certain infections, autoimmune diseases, and obesity can result in an imbalance of hormones. Correcting low testosterone, or Low-T, can significantly change how you feel as a man and keep certain health conditions at bay. 

Low-T can look different from man to man, but overall, you will likely notice these symptoms

  • A dip in your sex drive
  • Reduced erectile function
  • Loss of body hair
  • Weight gain
  • Symptoms of depression
  • Fatigue
  • Poor memory
  • Lack of focus
  • Decreased work performance

Effective Sexual Health Treatments to Consider 

While these conditions can lead to feelings of frustration, anxiety, and uncertainty, it’s important to remember that there are effective treatments available. Here, we outline our approach to addressing these conditions, aiming to empower you with the tools you need to enhance your sexual well-being and lead a more satisfying romantic life.

1. Medication for Erectile Dysfunction

The good news is ED is generally treatable with prescription medication. Our medical providers recommend Viagra (sildenafil) and Cialis (tadalafil) to treat symptoms. Viagra is a common ED medication that can help erections last anywhere from three to four hours and should be taken immediately before sexual intercourse. Cialis, on the other hand, can be taken as a daily medication to improve blood flow to the penis and allow for erections to happen more naturally. Depending on your circumstances, you may be prescribed one over the other.

In addition to medication, we may also look into hormone treatment and other natural remedies to ensure positive results. 

2. Shockwave Therapy for Peyronie’s Disease

A successful treatment for Peyronie’s is Shockwave Therapy. It is a non-invasive procedure that emits pulses of acoustic waves directly into the genitals. This process opens up existing blood vessels while encouraging new vessels to grow. Treatment is able to stimulate blood flow and reduce the size of plaque and penile pain by a significant amount. 

Treatment sessions typically last 30 minutes and rarely require anesthesia or numbing cream. Depending on the severity of your condition, your provider may recommend a certain number of treatment sessions in order to see improvement. 

3. Therapy for Low Testosterone

We target low testosterone levels by utilizing several different treatments, including injections, pellets, and topical gels. Depending on your lifestyle and needs, your provider will create a custom treatment administration plan. 

Injections

  • A great starting point for low-t treatment is injections, as they can be done at home. A simple injection once per week can do wonders for changing low levels of testosterone. 

Pellets

  • Pellets are a more involved treatment, consisting of testosterone pellets inserted into fatty tissue. This is done in-office by your provider at least three to four times per year. 

Topical Gels

  • Gels are a prescription topical that must be applied once per day across several areas of the body. Its ease of use is preferred by most patients. 

4. The Priapus Shot for Erections

The P Shot is an injection that enhances erections, along with circulation, plus penile girth and length. Using your body’s own platelets, plasma is injected into the penis to encourage the growth factors in your blood to promote firmer and longer-lasting erections

A single injection can last about one year and, evidently, increase your sexual pleasure and confidence. Likewise, the O Shot for women functions in a similar way, and it’s often recommended that partners both receive injections for maximum results.
