Testosterone Deficiency TreatmentThe usual connotation of menopause is for women in that it refers to the stoppage of menopause in women. This usually occurs in older women at the age of late 40’s and above. This is mainly due to the changes in estrogen secretion. For male, ageing diminishes the production of testosterone which possibly leads to such condition. Andropause for formality is a syndrome in which older men are associated with androgen deficiency. Though similar, this is not the same with women’s mid-life crisis. But it is usually also called male menopause. Aside from ageing, stress levels, health lifestyle (smoking tobacco and drinking alcohol) and obesity.
When do we know if a man has andropause? Some symptoms that may occur can be baldness, reduced body hair, decrease in body fat, feeling tired and stressed, high blood, and/or enlarged prostate. Furthermore, it can be drastic change in the mood such as irritability, aner, tiredness, low self-esteem, and anxiety. Some may show changes in sexual function such as reduced sexual drive and poor erections. In addition, some symptoms may also be seen physically through weight gain/loss, hair loss or lower muscle mass. Though some of these may be normal to other people, it is best to consult a professional to be sure. It is also good that we get ourselves checked so that illness/diseases are managed as soon as possible. Some of the treatments can be with the use of testosterone supplements given to older men, testosterone replacements, and others. Doctors usually conduct additional tests if necessary. These are blood tests, hormone analysis, and BMI. We should never self medicate nor self administer such tests and diagnose ourselves just to save or for convenience’s sake. Remember that in health, we should never settle for second-grade check-ups or medication. Assuring ones health in a proper clinic with professionals is a must. Where can you find more information?

Premature EjaculationThe 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. There are many ways to cure or delay ejaculation.

Erectile DysfunctionIn 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. Once anxiety and stress disappear, it also disappears with it. However, when it persists, it is better to consult a doctor immediately to avoid long-term progression of the condition.
