There are several types of erectile dysfunction or male impotence. The first is arteriogenic in which the arteries which supply blood to the penis do not have enough blood to cause an erection. This is a more common occurrence when there is narrowing of the arteries from a disease such as diabetes or in the elderly. Individuals who have high blood pressure or have had an injury in the genital region can also have a blockage in the artery that supplies the penis. An injury is more commonly found in young men. These can happen following eight fracture of the pelvis or in cyclists who sustain friction in that region which can cause a thrombus to develop in the artery.

Impotence resulting from injuries are actually very common but often unsuspected. Patients who have sustained an orthopedic or urologic injury may find that after the fractures have healed they are impotent. Fortunately if they are evaluated by an andrologist who takes the complete history the causative agent may be discovered.

One possible treatment that has been suggested for premature ejaculation is administering one of the drugs in the drug family known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). SSRIs are more commonly referred to as anti-depressants and include such drugs as Zoloft, Paxil, and Prozac.

Do SSRIs work to treat premature ejaculation?

That is still a debated issue inside the medical community. Some believe that SSRIs can be effective as treatments for premature ejaculation. The Food and Drug Administration has still not approved SSRIs for the particular use of treating premature ejaculation. That does make some rather cautious doctors reluctant to prescribe them for this use. However, this is a very common approach. Some people who have taken them for this purpose are pleased with the results they have received.

Possible benefits of SSRI treatment

The hope is that SSRI treatment can produce impressive delays in ejaculation. This has been observed in some people who take daily SSRI treatment. The delay in ejaculation is also found in men with erectile difficulties. The SSRI drugs are the most effective solution. They are prescribed in lower dosages than for people taking them for treatment of depression.

Who is the most at risk of premature ejaculation? Are some men more likely to develop premature ejaculation problems than other men? Is their a certain age group or a group of men that are at higher risk of having problems with premature ejaculation? Most doctors agree that every man will experience premature ejaculation at some point in his life, so what men are the most at risk for developing long term problems with premature ejaculation?

The research isnt definitive. Some researchers say that particular groups of men are more likely to develop premature ejaculation problems than other groups. It does appear that teenage boys and younger men are the most at risk of having problems with premature ejaculation just to due to the fact that they havent learned regular ejaculatory control.

Some men might not realize that ejaculatory control is a skill they can learn and they might think that they will always be victims of premature ejaculation. Other men, particularly older men or men who have health problems, might find that they develop a problem with premature ejaculation that is caused by their health conditions or the medications they take for those health conditions.

More common in men older than 65, it can occur at any age. As men age, it is normal to experience changes in erectile function. Erections may take longer to develop, may not be as rigid or may require more direct stimulation to be achieved. An occasional episode of erectile dysfunction happens to most men and is normal. Men may also notice that orgasms are less intense, the volume of semen is reduced and recovery time takes longer.

(HealthDay News) — Smoking can reduce fertility in men, and the more one smokes, the more the ability of sperm to bind to an egg is diminished, a new study finds.

Researchers studied the sperm of 18 men who had smoked at least four cigarettes a day for more than two years. Using a test called the Hemizona Assay, the scientists compared sperm function in the 18 smokers with the sperm of nonsmokers.

The researchers found that the sperm from almost two-thirds of the smokers failed the test. Although none was infertile, their sperm function was greatly reduced.

“All of them had a little fertilizing capacity,” said lead researcher Loni Burkman, head of the Section on Andrology in the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics at the University at Buffalo School of Medicine. “I wouldn’t call them sterile, but they’ve lost fertilizing capacity.”

“Tobacco changes the body because it mimics a natural chemical in the body — acetylcholine,” added Burkman, who developed the Hemizona Assay. “Many of the smokers had only 25 percent of the binding capacity of a control.”

Erectile dysfunction is a common problem for many men, especially in the middle years of life. Erectile dysfunction occurs when a man cannot maintain an erection while in the midst of sexual intercourse. For some men, this only happens once in a while.

This can account for being tired, overworked, and just plain stress. Once he gets some sleep, cuts back on work a bit and takes a break, or relieves some of stress the problem goes away.
