What is Male Sexual Dysfunction?



Male sexual dysfunction has long been known to be common. Affecting a large percentage of individuals, with estimates between 10% and 52% of men, sexual problems and dysfunctions are correlated with a wide range of physical and psychological conditions. Other health conditions, including cardiovascular disorders, common diseases such as diabetes, health habits, and mental health are responsible as well. 

What is Male Sexual Dysfunction?

In men, sexual dysfunction refers to difficulties engaging in sexual intercourse. Sexual dysfunction encompasses a variety of disorders such as follows:

·         Low Sex drive ( Low Libido)
·   The ability to achieve or maintain an erection (Erectile Dysfunction or Impotence)
·         The ability to  hold ejaculate (Premature Ejaculation)
·         The ability to achieve an erection without a deformity in the penis
·         The ability to achieve an orgasm

Sexual dysfunction may result from either physical or psychological factors. Many sexual problems result from a combination of physical and psychological factors. A physical problem may lead to psychological problem (such as anxiety, depression, or stress), which can in turn aggravate the physical problem.

Men sometimes pressure themselves or feel pressured by a partner to perform well sexually and become distressed when they cannot (performance anxiety). Performance anxiety can be troublesome and further worsen a man’s ability to enjoy sexual relations.

What are the causes of Male Sexual Dysfunction?

There are numerous causes of MSD, including:

  • Psychological conditions, such as depression, anxiety and stress, concerns about sexual performance or relationship problems
  • Conditions that cause impaired blood flow, such as cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure and diabetes
  • Neurological and neuromuscular conditions, such as multiple sclerosis, stroke, brain tumors and spinal cord injuries
  • Medications with sexual side effects, such as drugs for Parkinson's disease, depression, high blood pressure, pain, and heart disease
  • Pelvic surgeries, including surgical treatments for prostate cancer, colorectal cancers, bladder cancer and spinal cord conditions
  • Lifestyle factors, such as excessive drinking, smoking, recreational drug use, and lack of exercise
  • Low testosterone or hormonal imbalance, which may be caused by: aging, injury to testes, chemotherapy and radiation therapy for cancer, genetic conditions, obesity, liver or kidney disease, or pituitary gland conditions  
With some sensible considerations to psychological health, nutrition and medication use, most sexual dysfunction can be improved.
