What Is A Penis Fracture?

Penis fracture is defined as rapture of the membrane of the bulging cavernous structures of the penis. Luckily this injury is not that often but when it happens it should be treated seriously and it is no wonder why doctors consider it as a emergency situation. This injury happens while the penis is erected.

There are many reasons why penis fracture happens. Unexpected blunt trauma or abrupt bending of the penis while it is erected, can lead to rupture of the membrane that surrounds the cavernous bodies of the penis. The injury might be even worse if both cavernous bodies are broken and the urinary tube too. In most cases this injury happens during the sexual intercourse while the female is on top of her partner. Of course there are other reasons for this injury to happen like masturbation, mechanical injuries or any other shock on an erected penis. In extremely rare cases this injury can happen while sleeping, because unconsciously people can have an erected penis and try to turn around in their sleep.

In order to understand the injury better we should look at the structure of the penis. The penis consists of three parts – root, body and head. All these parts are growing when they are aroused due to increased flow of blood. The penis is innervated by left and right dorsal nerves and pudendal nerves. Blood supply comes from the inner pudendal arteries.

When the penis is not erected there are almost no chances for injury of this kind because of its flexibility. When the penis gets hard erection and its elasticity is much lower. For example, during the transition from normal state to erection, the membrane gets a lot tighter (from 2 mm it goes to 0,25 mm) practically loosing almost all of its flexibility. Due to this thinning and inelasticity, blunt trauma or bending of an erected penis can cause penis injury much easier. A sudden increase in pressure in the corpus cavernosum in these cases can quickly destroy the membrane.

Penis fracture can be easily spotted because it has clear symptoms. Like we have said before, in most cases men get injured when they pull the penis out the vagina during the sexual intercourse while the women are in a dominant position. On the way out the penis can hit the tailbone and this is why penis fracture happens. Penis fracture is always painful but depending on the seriousness of the injury the pain can vary from mild to extremely strong. Penis fracture can be noticed by the appearance of the penis which is usually swollen, deformed, unusually bended and discolored.  Many doctors suggest early surgical intervention for treatment of penis fractures. The patient stays at the hospital for at least 10 days and after that can proceed with the treatment from the comfort of his home. Usually antibiotics and analgesics are prescribed.  The penis should be healthy after a while but erectile dysfunction and penis bending are possible.

Managing Premature Ejaculation through Kegel Exercise

An erectile dysfunction (ED), premature ejaculation is a problem that affects some men across the globe. The problem is characterized by ejaculation of semen, which can occur just before penetration or soon after penetration. It has psychological effect on both a man and his partner. Just like with the partner, a man with the problem experiences sexual un-satisfaction and dejection.

There are certainly many ways through which the problem can be treated depending on identified cause. One of the most effective ways of managing the problem is through Kegel exercises. Although widely performed by women, Kegel exercises have proved very beneficial to ED in men. The benefit of these exercises lies in the fact that they are useful in addressing various types of erectile dysfunction.

Location of Right Muscles

Like with other exercises, Kegel exercises target specific exercises in the body. These are the PC muscles that control various mechanisms in the pelvic region including release of semen in men. A man can easily ascertain whether his PC muscles are weak or strong by stopping flow of urine when he urinates. Ability to stop urination mid-way before allowing the flow to continue is a clear indication that the PC muscles are strong, which also aids in combating premature ejaculation.

Regular Exercises

Because holding urine from flow and letting it flow can only happen when a man feels like urinating, the best way to perform the exercise is to contract the PC muscles and relaxing them several times a day on a regular basis. The technique lies in contracting the muscles for say five second before relaxing them for another five seconds before repeating the whole process several times in a row.

Although it might seem a simple exercise, a man with the problem of premature ejaculation and any associated erectile dysfunction can greatly benefit from the exercise by gradually increasing both the contractual and relaxation period. A man needs to perform this exercise by starting off slowly and increasing intensity as days pass by.

Focus

A very important element in performing the exercise with the aim of eradicating premature ejaculation and any associated erectile dysfunction problems is focus. A man needs to focus on the PC muscles in particular without flexing abdominal, thighs and buttock muscles. Another important element is how one breathes. A man needs to breathe normally while performing the exercise without holding back his breath.

Precaution

Men who perform this simple Kegel exercises do not only realize positive results; eradication of premature ejaculation and associated erectile dysfunction problems but also experience healthy penile function. However, care needs to be taken because overworking the PC muscles can be counter-productive. Over-exercising the muscles can weaken the same muscles, which can lead to erectile dysfunction. It is therefore recommended that the exercise be performed on an empty bladder.

Because of its positive effect in eradicating ED, this exercise is highly recommended for men diagnosed with the problem and undergoing treatment through other means. Such a combination allows such men to realize positive results in less time compared to when such other treatment option is undertaken on its own.

Testosterone And Sex Drive

There are many things that stimulate male sex drive and although testosterone hormone is not the only one, if there is not enough testosterone produced it can certainly have very negative impact on sexual relationships. Even more, the lack of this important hormone can result in total loss of sex drive and even erectile dysfunction. However, with the advance of medicine, there are several ways to treat this unpleasant situation and all of them give significant results.

How does testosterone affect sex drive?

Although scientists have not yet fully explained the connection between the testosterone hormone and the strength of the libido, what is known as a fact is that as men get older their sex drive starts to decline. That’s a very natural thing. Men have their maximal sex drive in their teen ages and in their 20s. After that period the libido starts to decrease. However not all men have the same sex drive and what one man considers to be weak sex drive some other men think that the same level of sex drive is fine. We should of course point out that the sex drive changes with other changes in men and it is equally affected by stress, insomnia, mild depression and other everyday problems. That’s why experts avoid making a definition of “normal sexual drive”. The symptoms that occur as a result of low level of testosterone do not apply to the feeling of lower sexual drive. Some men maintain their sex drive even though they have lower testosterone levels. Thus, the lack of testosterone is one of the causes that negatively affect male libido, but not the major cause.

Erectile dysfunction

It is really surprising that low levels of testosterone are rarely causing problems with erection. And even when there is a connection between sex drive and low levels of testosterone it rarely causes erectile dysfunction. Erectile disorder, in most cases, appears as a result of atherosclerosis (that is actually a disease that of large and medium-sized muscular arteries characterized by dysfunction of the endothelium of blood vessels). Due to the damage of the arteries, blood vessels that supply the penis are not able to expand and can’t provide strong blood flow that causes an erection. High blood pressure, high levels of cholesterol and diabetes are the main causes of atherosclerosis and erectile dysfunctions. At the same time, testosterone deficiency is “helping” atherosclerosis when it comes to causing erectile dysfunctions. It is important to say that lower testosterone levels can indirectly responsible for erectile disorders, sometimes even in conditions that lead to erectile problems like: obesity, diabetes and metabolic syndrome.

What to do?

When we talk about solving this bitter problem, one of the most efficient ways is testosterone therapy, which will certainly make a positive impact on the male sex drive and improve sexual life. Although these therapies are performed for several years it is good to know that the side effects are still not well researched and people should be careful.

If you want to keep your sex drive on high levels you should also consider: less smoking, less alcohol and moderate physical activity.

How premature ejaculation affects female satisfaction

Every man has gone through a moment or two in his sexual life where he suffer from premature ejaculation or erectile dysfunction. Most research and studies conducted on both of these diseases have centered on how it affects the male sex. However, women are also dramatically affected by these sexual dysfunctions. Let’s take a deeper look into how sexual dysfunction on the male side actual affects the life of his female counterpart.

Psychologically

Women are emotional creatures and are heavily dictated by what their partner thinks about them. When it comes to bedroom women are even more sensitive. They want to satisfy their partner and want them to enjoy sex but when a man reaches orgasm too quickly many females believe it is their fault. Even though this is faulty reasoning many women continue to believe this and therefore develop a complex further complicating their sexual relationship.

Sexually

Women require intellectual stimulation and an emotional connection in order to reach orgasm while men are strictly focused on the physical attributes of their partner. This means it may take a woman longer to reach an orgasm than a man. Of course, if a man has an issue with premature ejaculation or even erectile dysfunction it can have drastic effects on sexual satisfaction for a woman.

All Hope is not lost

From medications to therapy, men have hundreds of options available to them to reverse the situation and improve their sexual relationships. Women are also much more forgiving than many men believe which allows them to be open about things in the bedroom. Confidence and communication will create the environment that a man needs to thrive in the bedroom. Also, often times these problems can be psychological or simply caused by focusing too much on the issue. Instead of focusing on what’s wrong with his skills in the bedroom if a man focuses on what is going right chances are premature ejaculation will not become a problem later on.

What women Want

As long as a man is caring, affectionate, and attentive during sex a woman will not be concerned with how long he lasts. Sexual intimacy is centered on a caring relationship and if a woman feels like she is being cared for she will be sexually satisfied.

How to Cope with Premature Ejaculation and Impotence

Sexual dysfunction is a very difficult topic to discuss for many men; virility has become such an ingrained concept of masculinity that often, problems are kept secret out of shame. When it comes to issues like premature ejaculation and impotence, it is important to treat sexual dysfunction for what it is- a medical condition, not a source of shame. Often these cases have varying degrees of severity and, depending on the cause, can be successfully treated. With the right information, and the right frame of mind, you can come back from many kinds of dysfunction.

Premature ejaculation is a complicated condition, just because of all of the variables at play. First, its cause can be mental or physical; second, the condition is based largely on frame of reference. For some men, it can be so severe that they are unable to last through initial penetration; while another could last for 15 minutes, but if they wanted to last 5 extra minutes- they fall under the category of premature ejaculation. It comes down to lack of control over your erection and sexual experience.

Most commonly, it is psychological condition that causes premature ejaculation. Causes such as depression, stress, performance anxiety, sexual repression or lack of confidence are all big contributing factors to not only PE but all sexual dysfunction. There are many treatment options for PE including psychological or behavioral therapy and medication. Therapy can often treat underlying mental blocks, while medication can be useful in treating mental conditions. Alternatively, topical anesthetic creams can be used in some cases to prolong ejaculation.

Erectile dysfunction is also a common disorder, which is often referred to as impotence. Erectile dysfunction is, in its base form, the inability to achieve and maintain an adequate erection for intercourse. Sometimes it can be a psychological condition, in other situations it can be a physical cause. One indicator of a psychological condition is being able to achieve an erection during masturbation.

Psychological conditions can include:

  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Exhaustion

Physical conditions can include:

  • High blood pressure
  • Diabetes
  • Smoking
  • Excessive Drinking
  • Obesity
  • Pharmaceutical Side Effects
  • Recreational Drug Side Effects

While erectile dysfunction is something no man wants to think about, the much stigmatized condition is not what it used to be. In fact, the first part of the 21st century has already seen an incredible improvement in the prognosis for erectile dysfunction. The first step is seeking help, and not hiding it from your partner. Denial will do nothing to help your condition, proper treatment will.

Once you seek out medical assistance, your doctor can help determine the right treatment path for you. To reiterate, there is more help and options out there than ever before. Your options include therapy, ED medication, even mechanical aids; treatment success rates are growing by the year.

Whatever sexual dysfunction you fear you might be facing, the most important thing to remember is that there are real options for help and recovery. With proper information, and medical advisement; erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation could be a thing of the past.

Causes and Treatment of Premature Ejaculation

What is Premature Ejaculation?

Premature ejaculation (PE) is a condition where a man reaches orgasm (release of semen) too early during sexual intercourse. Although the boundary between early attainment of orgasm and what is considered normal ejaculation is very thin, PE is in most cases characterized by ejaculation of semen within the first minute of sexual intercourse. Men without PE problem do ejaculate after about four minutes with some men capable of prolonging their ejaculation to more than ten minutes.

PE is often considered an erectile dysfunction, in which case it leaves both a man affected and his partner sexually unsatisfied. Indeed, some sexual partners of men having the problem do look for sexual satisfaction elsewhere, something capable of causing marriage breakups in case of married coupes. On their part, men with PE problem do initially feel embarrassed and often develop fear of getting involved in sexual activities. This eventually leads to stress and one can easily become depressed when one affected does not seek help.

Cause(s)

Even though the exact cause(s) of premature ejaculation has not been ascertained, which is the reason for its consideration as an erectile dysfunction problems, a number of theories for its occurrence have been advanced. One theory advanced indicates that PE is a result of masturbation by young men. Because they masturbate quickly to avoid being caught, the action soon develops into PE problem when they come of age. Other theories advanced include increased anxiety just before sexual intercourse and lack of sex for a prolonged period by adult men. These are just theories that have no evidence of proof.

A possible cause for this type of erectile dysfunction is believed to be lack of self control on the part of men who experience the problem. In particular, scientists have linked physiological mechanism to occurrence of PE. This is a genetic condition where a man is naturally born with increased nerve sensitivity. Furthermore, scientists have also established that men with premature ejaculation problem do have a high neurological response particularly in their pelvic muscles.

Management

Several management techniques have been recommended for men who experience premature ejaculation. Such techniques include:

  • Use of condoms – Condoms reduce penile sensitivity, allowing men with PE to prolong their ejaculation.
  • Use of analgesic creams – These numb the penis when erect, reducing penile sensitivity to a large extent, in effect prolonging ejaculation.
  • Application of pressure on the penis – This technique is best performed by a partner. It involves applying pressure (squeezing) the penis when a man is about to ejaculate. Alternatively, a man needs to inform his partner when he is about to ejaculate for the partner to pull back his scrotum, which delays ejaculation. This works because when a man is about to ejaculate, his scrotum rises toward the body.
  • Change of position – Changing from “active” sex position to a ‘passive” position has been proven to help a man with premature ejaculation problems to delay ejaculation as much as possible.
  • Reduced anxiety – Men with PE problem can do themselves good by avoiding anxiety before intercourse. Having sex in a different room apart from the bedroom and avoiding fear/sexual thoughts before intercourse goes along way in delaying ejaculation.
  • Exercises – Performance of PC exercises have been proved to help men with PE problem to eventually overcome the same. PC exercises are basically kegel exercises that that strengthen specific muscles that control ejaculation.

Medications

Apart from management techniques, various medications are normally prescribed for treating this type of erectile dysfunction. Such are in most cases selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) that are effective in reducing incidents of premature ejaculation. The medications include Clomipramine (Anafranil), Dapoxetine, Paroxetine and Tramadol among other SSRIs. Self-medication is strictly not recommended when dealing with PE. This is because these medications can have serious side effects including such erectile dysfunction problems as diminished libido and amargasmia among other problems.

A cream that can help you to cure premature ejaculation without side effect like Activ Homme Cream. There are no amazing ingredients or science in the cream, the cream just lower down your sensitivity of your penis. This will help you to be more longer lasting in sex.

Different Types Of Erectile Dysfunction

Commonly referred to as impotence, erectile dysfunction is a condition that affects a percentage of mature males, making them incapable of performing satisfactorily as is expected of them. The condition can manifest itself in different ways including failure to attain penile erectile at all, occasional penile erection, gradual but persistent penile erection or abrupt penile erection without any sexual stimuli. One major problem that some of the males attain some degree of penile erection is experiencing premature ejaculation. This is when a male ejaculates either even before penetrating his partner or does too soon after penetration. They may not be able satisfy their partner with sexual desire and sexual pleasure.

Unlike in the past, the cases of males being diagnosed as impotent is on the rise. This is attributed to some causes that were not there before. The main causes of erectile dysfunction have traditionally remained such causes as old age, health conditions, genetics, surgery and medications. Recent causes include poor lifestyle, contaminated food stuffs and food stuffs short on vital nutrients including vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids.

Erectile Dysfunction

There are five main types of erectile dysfunction:

  1. Arteriogenic impotence – Most males diagnosed and declared to be impotent do suffer this type of erectile dysfunction. Majority of them happen to be those with such medical conditions as diabetes, high blood pressure, medications or those who sustain injuries in their genital areas. The characteristic of this type of erectile dysfunction is insufficient flow of blood in the arteries supplying the penis with blood, which is necessary for normal erection.

  2. Venogenic impotence – This type of ED occurs when penile veins fail to close once they receive sufficient blood that leads to penile erection. In normal cases, the valves in the veins are designed to close down to prevent flow-back of blood. This is the mechanism by which the penis remains erect until ejaculation stage when the valves open, allowing the penis to recoil back. Impotent males who suffer this type of ED are most likely to have inherited the condition.

  3. Neurogenic impotence – This type of ED occurs due to insufficient supply of blood by nerves responsible for supplying penile nerves and muscles with blood. This can be brought about by injury to the spinal cord or around the pelvic region.

  4. Hormonal impotence – This type of erectile dysfunction occurs when there is a serious imbalance of sexual hormones in a man’s blood stream. This can occur when the body fails to naturally produce or secret sex hormones into the blood stream. Such imbalance negatively affects libido, leading to lack of interest in sex, which in turn causes lack of erection or very minimal erection inadequate for satisfactory sexual performance.

  5. Psychogenic impotence – This type of erectile dysfunction occurs due to state of the mind. High stress levels and worries and depression are some of the main causes.

Males who have had healthy and successful sexual life only to be diagnosed and declared impotent at a later time do develop low self esteem, which further worsens their condition. It must also be noted that males who suspect that they have or are developing erectile dysfunction need to consult their physicians for proper diagnosis to receive applicable treatment in good time.
