Chronic Illness and Sexuality

Diseases can strongly affect and complicate everyday life and that includes sexuality too. However, sexuality should not be forgotten even when someone is suffering from some chronic illness.

Every chronic illness or pain in general will certainly lower your sexual desire and sexual endurance. If you are recovering from some acute disease you will also notice that your libido is affected. In addition, the medications that you have to take in most cases have negative effect on your sex drive and sexual activity. Furthermore, if you are practicing unhealthy lifestyle you will soon feel the negative effects when it comes to your sexuality. Heavy drinking and smoking for example can lead to erectile problems. Besides physical health, mental health is very important too. Depression for example brings some devastating effects to our self-confidence and ultimately leads to low sexual desire and erectile problems too. Certain health problems cause specific sexual difficulties but the good news is that there is a solution for all those problems.

Diabetes mellitus can cause erectile dysfunction and these difficulties are getting more complicated as the patient grows older. The best advice is to stick to a healthy diet and never miss a meal. This is the best way to postpone possible erectile problems that diabetes brings. Another good advice is to stop worrying too much, because you can develop emotional problems and blockage too. The more you think about your problem the more worried you will get and that doesn’t bring anything good. If you are too worried and you don’t follow the advice from your doctor, you may even completely lose interest in sex.

Erectile problems are very often present before a heart attack and a certain period after a person survives a heart attack. The cause for these erectile problems is the reduced blood flow in the genitalia. The penis needs sufficient blood flow in order to get hard and easily penetrate into the vagina. Those who have survived a heart attack usually face mental problems because of the fear that they can experience another heart attack during the sexual intercourse. This mental pressure is usually present in older men who are trying to have sex with younger women. There is no need to panic because if your doctor has confirmed that you are ready to engage in physical activity again then it is perfectly safe to have sex again. If you are worried that you might get too excited, it’s a good idea to masturbate some time before you have sex. Men who have experienced heart attack should be very careful if they are having sex with a new partner because the whole atmosphere brings a lot more tension.

Those who are suffering from multiple sclerosis should be prepared for erectile problems. They usually have reduced feeling of stimulation and some of them lose the ability of ejaculation. The best thing to do in such case is to stimulate your own erection and continue with the sexual intercourse.

Few Ways To Treat Erectile Problems

Treatment of erectile problems and dysfunction has reached its peak with the discovery of drugs like Viagra. However, there are few other ways that can help people that are suffering from this unpleasant condition.

Viagra, Cialis, Levitra are all pills that treat erectile problems in the same way – they release the sponge tissue in the penis (the penis muscle) which allows easier blood flow in the organ. The most popular of these drugs is of course Viagra, but just like the other drugs, Viagra is not recommended for men that are suffering from heart disease or those who have problems with their blood vessels or high blood pressure. The effects of Viagra can be noticed after only 15 minutes while it takes up to 30 minutes to feel the same with Cialis. However, the first drug promises results that can last up to eight hours, while Cialis lasts a little bit longer. According to the manufacturers Cialis can last for 36 hours which makes it very convenient for those who don’t want to be limited with time. Thanks to all these pills, men can achieve more powerful and stronger erections because of the improved blood flow. Using these pills is generally safe but it is always a good idea to consult with a doctor before using them.

Those who find oral intake of these drugs inefficient can choose injection treatment. In his way the drugs will be taken with an injection that is shot in the base or on the side of the penis. The good thing is that men can use these injections while they are at home, because the doctor will provide the necessary instructions. It will take only 10 minutes to see the results.

People that are afraid of injections can use penis suppositories. Just like injections, they are using the drug Alprostadil in order to remove the erectile problems.  These suppositories are very thin and they are inserted into the penis or the ureter to be more precise. The only problem with this method as well as the one using injections is the fact that the sex is less spontaneous. The need to take an injection or place a suppository in the penis right before the sex is a little bit complicated.

Erectile pumps are another option. These devices can increase the blood flow in the penis which leads to strong erection. In addition, you can use penis rings that will keep the erection longer. These rings should not be used for more than 30 minutes. If you are experiencing any kind of pain and coldness remove the ring immediately.

Modern medicine is using implants in different areas of the human body. Penis implants are also available for people that want to achieve stronger erection.

Surgery is another way to deal with erectile problems. This is the last option for patients that tried all the other methods and failed to solve the problem. The surgery is performed on the blood vessels in the penis.
