Many cases of sexual dysfunction can be corrected by
treating the underlying physical or psychological problems.
Treatment strategies may include the following:
sexual
problems with the human male:
-
Medical treatment -- This involves treatment of any
physical problem that may be contributing to a man's sexual
dysfunction.
-
Medications
-- New medications, such as Viagra, may
help improve sexual function in men by increasing blood flow to
the penis.
-
Hormones -- Men with low levels of testosterone may
benefit from hormone injections. The FDA has approved the use of
a testosterone patch to raise testosterone levels to a normal
range. Testosterone replacement by pills and implantable pellets
also is being evaluated.
-
Psychological therapy -- Therapy with a trained
counselor can help a person address feelings of anxiety, fear or
guilt that may have an impact on sexual function.
-
Mechanical aids -- Aids such as vacuum devices and
penile implants may help men with erectile dysfunction.
-
Education and communication -- Education about sex and
sexual behaviors and responses may help a man overcome his
anxieties about sexual performance. Open dialogue with your
partner about your needs and concerns also helps to overcome
many barriers to a healthy sex life.
Can Sexual Problems Be Cured?
The success of treatment for sexual dysfunction
depends on the underlying cause of the problem. The outlook is good
for dysfunction that is related to a treatable or reversible
physical condition. Mild dysfunction that is related to stress,
fear, or anxiety often can be successfully treated with counseling,
education, and improved communication between partners.

While sexual problems cannot be prevented, dealing
with the underlying causes of the dysfunction can help you better
understand and cope with the problem when it occurs. There are some
things you can do to help maintain good sexual function:
-
Follow your doctor's treatment plan for any medical/health
conditions.
-
Limit your alcohol intake.
-
Quit smoking.
-
Deal with any emotional or psychological issues such as
stress, depression, and anxiety. Get treatment as needed.
-
Increase communication with your partner.
When Should I Call my Doctor?
Many men experience a problem with sexual function
from time to time. However, when the problems are persistent, they
can cause distress for the man and his partner, and have a negative
impact on their relationship. If you consistently experience sexual
function problems, especially with erectile dysfunction, see your
doctor for evaluation and treatment.
