The normal course of sexual intercourse for men starts with emission, ejection then orgasm. Premature ejaculation (PE) is the most common disorder. It is when ejection occurs sooner that it is desired to come. Its universal definition is the inability of a man to delay its ejection until the woman reached 50% of her orgasm. PE does not necessarily have a time frame. When partners still do not desire for an ejaculation, and it comes, this may cause the relationship some complications, then it can be regarded as premature.

Most causes of PE may just simply be unable to control such sexual response. However, in some cases, PE is caused by changes in prostate gland, diabetes and other neurological diseases. Some may be caused by problems encountered in the relationship. Such examples maybe the differing needs of partners, trust issues, broken relationships, discontent, and the likes.

In this article, we will be talking about the management of erectile dysfunction (ED). To begin with, erectile dysfunction is the inability to achieve an erection for sexual intercourse. This may be a complex physiological and biological condition. Men of all ages are affected by this condition that ultimately changes their lives. This may be psychological, neurological or hormonal,. It can also be a symptom for cardiovascular diseases.

This table presents different categories and causes of erectile dysfunction.

Visit your doctor for accurate analysis of such condition. Your doctors usually have initial assessment. They would ask you about your sexual history, present medical condition, physiological health as well as surgical health. Some clinics would also use questionnaires to assess the gravity and causes of the condition. Afterwards, a physical examination is recommended as well as rectal examination of the prostate. Doctors would also give laboratory testing to check fluids from the person.

How do we prevent this condition? It should be noted that men should always maintain a healthy lifestyle, which includes avoid smoking and drinking alcohol, sensible eating and maintaining good physical health.

While men usually have short-term erectile dysfunction, that may be caused by short-term anxiety or stress, these dysfunctions can also be short-term.

Foreign Workers Medical Exam

4/4/2015

According to the Ministry of Manpower, requirements, along with medical examination are deemed necessary for a work pass in Singapore. In the past years, Singapore’s foreign workers have grown. In 2012, the total foreign workers was approximately 1.2 million, whereas for resident labor was approximately 2.1 million. Singapore encourages the maintenance of two kinds of workers. First is the highly skilled foreign talent and the other, low-skilled foreign worker who would do the dirty and risky jobs. It should be noted that at this era, a lot of people from third world countries would seek opportunities abroad for better living. With the increased outflow of foreign workers in Singapore throughout the years, the Singaporean government, together with local clinics should help in ensuring that all foreign workers are free from any diseases that can spread in Singapore.

This is a checklist for present and historical medical information. For the latter, diseases like mental illness, epilepsy, tuberculosis, chronic asthma, hypertension and the likes are asked.

For the present medical condition, cardiovascular and respiratory systems are checked, mental state, chest x-ray, blood and HIV diseases are checked. (Please see MOM website to get full details on the medical examination for foreign workers in Singapore).

It should be noted that Singapore would require certain duration from the time of application/arrival in the country. It is best to consult a clinic/a physician that is aware of the requirements of MOM to avoid further complication of the application/completion process. It should also be noted that one should only go to authorized and legitimate clinics for medical check-up to ensure that accuracy of the results. Lying about your medical conditions has consequences both from the Singaporean government and from yourself, as one would not be able to detect any early symptoms of diseases and to cure it as soon as possible.

Some of other medical requirements such as renewal of driver’s license, pre-employment requirements are also offered in clinics together with foreign worker’s medical check-up.
