Do you feel unsatisfied with many of your sexual experiences? While factors such as your relationship with your partner and your general mood can influence your enjoyment of sex, it is also possible that you are suffering from a physiological condition that makes sex less enjoyable for you. For men, these include conditions such as erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation in Singapore. While these are not diseases, they can impact your sex life negatively and cause friction in your sexual relationships. Thankfully, it is possible for these conditions to be diagnosed and treated at an STD clinic in Singapore. This article will provide a short explanation of each of these two conditions, what causes them and how doctors can help alleviate their symptoms.
Erectile dysfunction
Men who have erectile dysfunction are unable to get their penis erect to have sexual intercourse or are unable to maintain that erection over the period of intercourse. While there is no set time for how long a man should be able to hold his erection before he is considered to have erectile dysfunction, it may be beneficial for a man to see an STD doctor if he thinks he may have this condition. Severe cases of erectile dysfunction will not only affect the man’s sex life but may also affect his self-esteem, overall mood and confidence.
Erectile dysfunction can be caused by multiple different factors, but the most common ones involve the inability for blood to flow to the penis. This could be caused by a number of possible conditions including high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, Parkinson’s disease and hormonal disorders. As such, getting treated for erectile dysfunction will likely involve treating these symptoms and increasing your overall health. It may be a long process though, so your doctor may recommend taking specific medication to help you achieve erections. These include the commonly known Viagra and Cialis. Doctors will also recommend exercises that strengthen the pelvic floor muscle as these exercises will help the patient have more control over the penis.
Premature ejaculation
Men who have premature ejaculation, instead, achieve ejaculation too quickly after penetration. This is often caused by increased sensitivity in the penis and can lead to dissatisfaction by the man or his partner. Patients experiencing premature ejaculation can feel frustrated or embarrassed. They may also feel that their relationship is being affected because of the condition.
While the causes of this condition are not very well known, most researchers attribute it to a few different factors, including low levels of serotonin in the brain, depression, stress or performance anxiety. Fortunately, this condition can be alleviated with a few changes to the sex life, such as wearing condoms to reduce sensitivity and using behavioural techniques that can help control ejaculation. There may also be medicines that can help alleviate symptoms. Your doctor at the STD clinic will be able to recommend treatments based on their assessment of your condition.
Conclusion
Both erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation can be treated. The first step to treatment is seeing a doctor about your symptoms.
