Male Sexual Dysfunction
Erectile Dysfunction (ED)
Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is a common condition where a man has difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection sufficient for sexual intercourse. This condition can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
- Physical Causes: Heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, and metabolic syndrome.
- Psychological Causes: Stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues.
- Lifestyle Factors: Smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and lack of physical activity.
Prevalence and Impact
ED can affect men of all ages, though it is more common in older men. However, it is not uncommon for younger men to experience ED. Factors such as stress, performance anxiety, and lifestyle choices can contribute to ED in younger men. Older men are more likely to experience ED due to underlying health conditions and the natural aging process. Regardless of age, ED can have a significant impact on self-esteem, relationships, and overall quality of life.
Female Sexual Dysfunction
Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) encompasses a range of issues, including low sexual desire, difficulty with arousal, lack of orgasm, and pain during intercourse. The symptoms of FSD can vary widely among women and can be influenced by both physical and psychological factors.
Symptoms
- Low Sexual Desire: Lack of interest in sexual activity.
- Arousal Disorders: Difficulty becoming physically aroused or maintaining arousal during sexual activity.
- Orgasmic Disorders: Difficulty achieving orgasm or experiencing delayed orgasm.
- Pain Disorders: Experiencing pain during intercourse (dyspareunia) or pelvic pain.
Prevalence and Impact
FSD is a common issue, affecting up to 40% of women at some point in their lives. Despite its prevalence, FSD is often underdiagnosed and undertreated. Many women may feel embarrassed to discuss their symptoms or may not be aware that treatments are available. The impact of FSD can be profound, affecting not only sexual health but also emotional well-being and relationships.
