Erectile Dysfunction (ED)
Erectile Dysfunction (ED) or male impotence, is defined as the inability of a man to achieve or maintain penile erection sufficient for sexual activity. Erectile dysfunction may be psychological or organic in etiology. Physical causes include impaired vascular and neurologic function. Treatment can include counselling, lifestyle modifications, phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE-5) inhibitors, intracavernous injections, or, in extreme cases, penile prostheses. Recently erectile dysfunction has been recognized as a potentially lifesaving indication of cardiovascular disease.
Premature Ejaculation (PE)
Premature Ejaculation (PE), also known as rapid ejaculation, rapid climax, premature climax or early ejaculation is the most common sexual problem in men, affecting 25%-40% of all men. It is characterized by a lack of voluntary control over ejaculation. Masters and Johnson stated that a man suffers from premature ejaculation if he ejaculates before his sex partner achieves orgasm. Today, most sex therapists understand premature ejaculation as occurring when a lack of ejaculatory control interferes with sexual or emotional well-being in one or both partners.
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), the abnormal proliferation of prostatic cells, can cause progressive enlargement of the prostate gland. The most common clinical manifestation of BPH is a set of voiding dysfunctions commonly referred to as lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Untreated, obstruction resulting from BPH can lead to acute urinary retention (AUR), which can require surgical interventions such as transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) or prostatectomy. Usually, LUTS/BPH can be managed with a range of medications and natural treatments.
