OVERVIEW
What is male sexual dysfunction?
Dysfunctions among men may result in infertility issues. The commonest dysfunctions experienced by men are erectile dysfunction and ejaculation dysfunction, which may affect their ability to engage in intercourse normally or when scheduled to conceive. There are many successful treatment methods that depend on the reasons for the dysfunction. They may include lifestyle changes, counseling, medications, and medical procedures among others.
For Whom
What's right for you
This is for men experiencing difficulties with sexual function that may be affecting their ability to conceive naturally. It’s especially relevant if:
Important to know
When something else is needed first
- Uncontrolled diabetes, hypertension or a cardiac condition - these are addressed first
- Medication you are already taking that may be the cause, which needs review
- A hormonal cause such as low testosterone, confirmed on blood tests
- Where conception is time-critical, in which case assisted conception runs in parallel
None of these means treatment will not work. It changes the order, not the outcome.
What to expect from treatment
- Assessment is a conversation first - nothing invasive at a first visit
- Only the tests actually needed, usually bloods for hormones and blood sugar
- Most men see meaningful improvement once the cause is identified
This is a sensitive subject and it is common to put it off. If it is causing you distress, please speak to a doctor.
What treatment involves
- Lifestyle changes - Sleep, weight, alcohol, smoking, exercise and blood-sugar control all affect erectile function directly.
- Counselling - Where stress, anxiety, performance pressure or relationship strain is driving it - including the pressure of timed intercourse itself.
- Medication - Prescribed after assessment and aimed at the underlying cause rather than the symptom alone.
- Medical procedures - For specific physical causes that do not respond to the above. Discussed only where clinically indicated.
