What ayurveda says about alcoholism

2009-10-09T04:50:00.000-07:00

According to ayurveda the diseases which cause erectile dysfunction are "Hritpaandurogatamakakaamalashrama..." - Heart diseases , anemia , asthma , liver disorders , tiredness .Apart from these the imbalance in tridoshas also cause impotence or erectile dysfunction. Ayurveda texts indicate that little quantity of madya or alcohol help to increase libido, hard erection and prevent premature ejaculation. But consuming this in large quantity destroys human body and his sexual life . When addiction develops to alcohol it affects liver and interferes in blood circulation. The triglyceride level increases and reduce the inner space of arteries. This leads to reduced blood circulation to genital area which leads to low erections.Read Complete article by David Buster at http://www.ayurveda-increaselibido.com/Links/addictions.html

Guy Sex-Anatomy Facts

2009-07-21T03:49:00.000-07:00

Always good to clear the air of any misconceptions with some solid facts about the penis:
• Big guys don’t necessarily have big penises. A 6’5” basketball player could have a tiny gherkin-sized penis while a 5’3” shrimpy guy could be extremely well-endowed.
• Likewise, you know what they say about a guy with big feet? Well it doesn’t mean squat. Big hands and feet have nothing to do with penis-size.
• Hairiness (or lack thereof) has nothing to do with virility. Guys who are hairy or who are bald have a predisposition to be that way – it has nothing to do with testosterone or libido.
• Not all guys masturbate regularly. At least 5% pass on this daily activity.
• A veiny penis is totally normal; it is not a sign of infection, infertility, or impotence.
• Mountain Dew will not decrease sperm count. People used to think that yellow dye 5m and caffeine were responsible for a drop in sperm, but both theories have been debunked.
• Not all guys are circumcised and it’s becoming more popular to leave boys fully intact. In fact, 85% of men in the world are uncircumcised. In the US, every year the number of circumcisions drops, and is now only slightly more than 50%.
• The average erect penis is about 5” long. Any hard on bigger than that is considered big.
• Erectile dysfunction is not a symptom of aging. Older people are more likely to get Erectile dysfunction because of other illnesses that they’ve acquired over time and because of medications that they may be taking. This is why young men can also experience ED and problems with impotence.
• Guys can fake an orgasm too. Unless a woman knows that a guy generally ejaculates bucket-loads, it’s possible for a guy to fake climax – almost as easy as it is for his partner.

Natural Tips for Treating ED

2009-06-11T05:19:00.000-07:00

Though some consider it a touchy subject, erectile dysfunction (ED) is nothing to hide or suffer from in silence, whether you're a man with ED or his partner. According to the the US National Institutes of Health, the number of men with erectile dysfunction may be anywhere from 15 to 30 million men and more and more doctor's office visits by men are made to seek treatment for erectile dysfunction.
Fortunately, aside from prescription medications, men looking for alternative and herbal-based treatments to try have wide variety to choose from which may be promising for providing ED relief. For example, some have used the herb ginkgo biloba successfully for ED; ginkgo works by improving blood flow to the penile veins and arteries and is without many of the side effects of medications.
Other men with decreased libido take Indian Ginseng, a tonic herb that is capable of strengthening the body and is even used by some as an aphrodisiac. Believe it or not, the amino acid, L-Arginine is used by the body to create nitric oxide, the chemical that relaxes the blood vessels, in order to diminish erectile dysfunction.
L-Arginine is found in food sources such as meat, dairy products, poultry and fish. Some men suffering from ED often have a deficiency of the mineralzinc and a simple supplement of 15-30 mg daily can help to improve their symptoms. But before considering adding supplements and medications, men with ED should consider the research which shows that those men who exercise regularly are less likely to develop impotence as they age. Researchers at the New England Research Institutes of Watertown, Mass., studied 593 men, ages 40 to 70, and found that men who burned at least 200 calories a day, were less likely to develop ED than sedentary men, so even minimal exercise is helpful when it comes to maintaining ahealthy sex life.

Super Foods For Erectile Dysfunction

2009-05-20T03:14:00.000-07:00

There are many underlying physical and psychological causes of erectile dysfunction. Reduced blood flows to the penis and nerve damage are two of the most common physical causes. Underlying conditions associated with erectile dysfunction include vascular disease, diabetes, drugs, hormone disorders, neurological disorders, pelvic trauma, surgery, radiation therapy, a venous leak or psychological conditions.
A lack of zinc can interfere with the maturation of the reproductive organs, as well as interfere with reproductive functions and processes. It can contribute to impotence. Chronic diarrhea, poor appetite, and thus significant weight loss of the unhealthy and undesirable sort, hair loss, and the slow healing of wounds are all associated with zinc deficiencies. So, too, are open sores on the skin and in the mouth, strange tastes in the mouth, and inefficient or reduced mental functioning, especially cognitive processes. So be sure to include lots of zinc-rich foods in your diet, including red meat, fortified cereals, oysters, almonds, peanuts, chickpeas, soy foods, and dairy products.
Zinc is vital to many internal processes and supports immune function, reproduction, and the nervous system.It’s also imperative to include other vitamins and minerals in your diet, as they may also help improve erectile dysfunction. Be sure to eat whole, fresh, unrefined, and unprocessed foods. Include fruits (lots of richly pigmented berries to support vascular integrity), vegetables, whole grains, soy, beans, seeds, nuts, olive oil, and cold-water fish (salmon, tuna, sardines, halibut, and mackerel. Avoid sugar, dairy products, refined foods, fried foods, junk foods, and caffeine. If you’ve found in the past that you’re sensitive to certain kinds of foods, eliminate them from your diet, ass it could be a contributing factor to erectile dysfunction. Also be sure to drink plenty of water. A good rule of thumb is to drink 50% of your body weight in ounces of water daily (e.g., if you weigh 150 lbs, drink 75 oz of water daily). Try to avoid alcohol and smoking, as they can have a negative impact on erectile function.

Erectile dysfunction may be chronic or recurring, or it may occur as a single isolated incident. In the past, it was assumed that impotence was primarily a psychological problem, but many therapists and physicians today believe the majority of all cases of impotence have some physical basis.

Premature Ejaculation Tips

2009-01-29T02:59:00.000-08:00

Here are some excellent tips for lasting longer in bed and avoiding premature ejaculation. The first two tips you can use immediately, the last tip will take some practice but the results will be much better, longer lasting and permanent.
1. Premature Ejaculation Creams.
There are actual creams available in stores (in the condom section usually) which are promoted to help you last longer during sex. These will in fact lessen the sensation greatly during sexual intimacy, and you should be able to hold out much longer. But, they can also desensitize too much so you don't get much feeling at all. So be conservative with the amount you use.
2. Masturbation an hour before.
If you masturbate an hour or so before, it actually helps greatly with being able to last much longer than normal during actual sex. This is used quite often by guys who worry about suffering from premature ejaculation. It's definitely an inconvenience to have to do, but if it is premature ejaculation tip that can have you lasting a lot longer, and it really does work pretty good.
3. Premature Ejaculation Exercises.
These are actual exercises you can perform which will help you last longer by actually controlling the muscle that is responsible for ejaculatory control. The same muscle responsible for controlling urinary flow is responsible for ejaculation as well. But with ejaculation we find it much harder to control, hence we have to learn these exercises and then we can easily, and permanently last longer in bed. The best bet is getting an online guide which has all the necessary exercises needed for curing premature ejaculation. This way you won't have to mess around with creams or have to worry about masturbating an hour before you have sex every time!

The dysfunction is accompanied by several other disorders that have adverse effect on the health of a person. A person may suffer from depression and anxiety that prohibit him from normal sexual activities. Erectile Dysfunction is a man’s inability to maintain or have an Erection. There are various factors that lead to Erectile Dysfunction in men. These factors are mostly physical in nature such as heart disease, diabetes, and Peyronie’s disease. However, there are certain psychological factors as well; these are: stress, anxiety, guilt, depression, low self-esteem, and fear of sexual failure.

Impotence or erectile dysfunction

2008-12-31T03:26:00.000-08:00

An estimated 10 to 15 million men in the United States suffer from impotence, also known as erectile dysfunction. Some people also use the term impotence to describe other problems such as lack of sexual desire and the inability to ejaculate or have an orgasm. While many people who suffer from impotence suffer in silence, it is a treatable condition at any age.
Impotence is sometimes used to describe female sexual dysfunction, which includes the broad categories of reduced sexual desire, pain during sex, inability to become aroused, and inability to have an orgasm.
Male impotence usually has an underlying medical condition that causes nerve or artery damage. Such damage can interfere with the nerve impulses that are needed to start and sustain an erection or with blood flow that is needed to engorge the tissues in the penis to make it erect. Diabetes, surgery, injuries, vascular diseases, kidney disease, and chronic alcoholism are some medical conditions that may cause impotence. Smoking can also cause impotence by narrowing the blood vessels. Since the likelihood of having some of these conditions increases with age, older men are more likely to suffer from impotence.

Definition Of Premature Ejaculation By International Society For Sexual Medicine (ISSM)

2008-11-01T10:28:00.000-07:00

Definition Of Premature Ejaculation By International Society For Sexual Medicine (ISSM)
http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/107506.php
The ISSM has defined premature ejaculation as "a male sexual dysfunction characterized by ejaculation which always or nearly always occurs prior to or within about one minute of vaginal penetration; and, inability to delay ejaculation on all or nearly all vaginal penetrations; and, negative personal consequences, such as distress, bother, frustration and/or the avoidance of sexual intimacy."

Prevention of erectile dysfunction

http://www.health24.com/medical/Condition_centres/777-792-1446-1683,25452.asp
Prevention
Many erection problems can be prevented or even reversed by a more relaxed approach to sex and by rediscovering sensuality. Sexual intimacy is a form of communication. If you and your partner talk about your lovemaking, it will help reduce your stress and anxiety, so that your sexual activity becomes more relaxed. Many people avoid talking about problems in their sexual relationship. It may gradually become more difficult to get and maintain an erection as you get older. However, foreplay and the right environment can increase your ability to have an erection, regardless of your age.
Bicycle seats can cause impotence
If you’re a cyclist, it’s a good idea to lift out of your seat when you’re going over bumpy terrain. This could help avoid vascular damage that may lead to erectile dysfunction. Researchers found that the typical narrow, pointed bike seat can crush the arteries that fill the penis with blood. When a male sits on a narrow bike seat, too much weight is placed on the area between the anus and the scrotum, where the cavernosal arteries are located. Researcher Pedram Salimpour of the Boston University School of Medicine found that about four percent of cyclists studied suffered impotence, compared to one percent of runners. Salimpour says the problem can be avoided by using special bike seats with oval gaps, similar to a toilet seat.

How High Blood Pressure Causes Erectile Dysfunction

2008-10-04T07:42:00.000-07:00

http://highbloodpressure.about.com/od/associatedproblems/a/impotence.htm
Nobody knows exactly how high blood pressure causes erectile dysfunction and impotence. One leading theory is that the excess pressure in the blood vessels actually causes damage to small arteries in the penis.
Normally, these arteries dilate in response to sexual stimulation, allowing more blood to flow into the spongy tissue of the penis to produce an erection. It is thought that excessive pressure on these arteries may cause tiny tears, which the body then repairs. In response to these tears, the healed arteries become thicker, allowing them to better resist further damage. These thicker arteries, though, aren’t able to respond as fast, or as completely, to demands for extra blood, so they become a sort of dam in the flow of blood to the erectile tissues of the penis.
One problem with this theory is that some studies seem to show that how long a patient has had high blood pressure is not as important for predicting the risk of erectile dysfunction as is the actual severity of the high blood pressure. In other words, someone who has had moderate hypertension for twenty years sometimes appears to be at lower risk for erectile dysfunction than a young man who has had very serious hypertension for only a few months. In light of this, other theories of how high blood pressure contributes to erectile dysfunction have been proposed.

Erectile Dysfunction And Diabetes

2008-09-28T01:14:00.000-07:00

http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/65318.php
A new study sheds additional light on how erectile dysfunction (ED) interacts with diabetes. The study is another step in uncovering the link between the two disorders, and may lead to improved efficacy in treatments.
Sexual dysfunction is a well-recognized consequence of diabetes mellitus in men. Erectile dysfunction, retrograde ejaculation and the loss of seminal emission have all been described by such patients. This study examined induced penile erection, yawning and stretch in diabetic rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats treated with streptozotocin (STZ) to induce diabetes were used as they exhibit sexual and behavioral symptoms similar to those found in diabetic men with sexual dysfunction.

The ED Conversation Dilemma: Forty Percent Of Men With ED Don't Talk To Their Doctor, Survey Finds

2008-09-22T01:03:00.000-07:00

http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/115546.php
A new survey reveals that while 82 percent of men with erectile dysfunction (ED) surveyed recognize it as an indicator of other health conditions, such as heart disease and diabetes, nearly 40 percent have never discussed the condition with their doctors. The survey, conducted by Ipsos Public Affairs and sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY), makers of Cialis® (tadalafil), was designed to further understand men's current beliefs about ED and ED treatment options, as well as the perceptions men have about communicating with their healthcare professional about ED.
"Sexual health is considered by many doctors as the window into a man's overall health -- for instance, erectile dysfunction can be an indicator of other health issues," said Ridwan Shabsigh, M.D., director of the Division of Urology at Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn, NY and professor of clinical urology at Columbia University. "It's important for men with ED to talk with their healthcare professional about ED and its treatment options. For instance, Cialis for once daily use is a new low-dose ED treatment option taken once a day and may be right for some men."
Perceived Barriers to the ED Conversation
According to the Ipsos survey results, discomfort discussing ED ranked as the number one barrier to good communication between a man and his doctor -- mentioned by 74 percent of men with ED who participated in the survey. The survey also found that, despite their discomfort, 64 percent of ED sufferers surveyed wished they knew more about ED and its treatments.
"Unfortunately, men tend not to talk about ED with their partner, their doctor or their friends," said Michael A. Perelman, Ph.D., co-director of the Human Sexuality Program at the Payne Whitney Clinic at NY Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York City. "As a psychologist and sexual medicine specialist, I would encourage any man who thinks he might have ED to talk with a healthcare professional to learn about available treatment options."

Research on premature ejaculation

2008-09-06T17:26:00.000-07:00

http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/8254.php
It is one of man's most common, underestimated sexual problems: Ejaculating earlier than desired. More common than erectile dysfunction, this condition can affect men at any point in their lives, and one in four men experience poor control over ejaculation on a frequent basis.
"Premature ejaculation is a frequent and distinct medical condition that can severely impact quality of life, affecting the physical and emotional well-being of patients and their partners," says James H. Barada, M.D.
The working group found that the term premature ejaculation was universally recognized and accurately understood by men with the condition and their partners, and concluded that changing the name may have the opposite effect, resulting in confusion and requiring extensive re-education. In the research study, which included 61 health care professionals, 75 men with premature ejaculation and 48 partners, other terms that also were occasionally used by physicians to describe the condition like "rapid ejaculation," were not as well understood by the study participants.

A Healthy Lifestyle Helps to Prevent Erectile Dysfunction

2008-08-14T04:27:00.000-07:00

Erectile dysfunction (ED) becomes a more common condition as men age. Experts evaluate that about half of men older than 40 years have at least modest problems in achieving and maintaining an erection. Taking into consideration the US male population, that means erectile dysfunction may affect about 18 million men.
Nobody knows yet exactly why ED happens but the consequences are very serious in some cases.
A research team conducted by a scientist working for the manufacturer of Viagra concluded that men had problems in maintaining a relationship had important troubles related to depression, anxiety and self-esteem. After 10 weeks of treating erectile dysfunction, members of trial group restored self-esteem and improved their depression and anxiety condition.
Of course erectile dysfunction treatment is beneficial for people in need and many trials have confirmed the life improvements. But more important is to try to prevent this uncomfortable situation.

It is one of man's most common, underestimated sexual problems: Ejaculating earlier than desired. More common than erectile dysfunction, this condition can affect men at any point in their lives, and one in four men experience poor control over ejaculation on a frequent basis.
According to published research, 20-30 percent of men worldwide are commonly affected by premature ejaculation (PE), yet this medical condition remains a taboo subject in virtually every culture. Two presentations at this week's 99th Annual Meeting of the American Urological Association (AUA) are helping to increase understanding and discussion of this common male sexual condition.
"Premature ejaculation is a frequent and distinct medical condition that can severely impact quality of life, affecting the physical and emotional well-being of patients and their partners," says James H. Barada, M.D., urologist at the Center for Male Sexual Health, Albany, NY, and board member of the Sexual Medicine Society of North America (SMSNA). "But most men are reluctant to talk about it with their partners or physicians."

Erectile Dysfunction And Diabetes

2008-06-18T10:20:00.000-07:00

http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/108498.php
"Men with diabetes who are having trouble keeping an erection could be at increased risk of serious heart problems", BBC News reported. It said that a study has found that those with erectile dysfunction are twice as likely as other men with diabetes to develop heart disease. This finding could apparently be used to "alert both patients and healthcare providers to the future risk of coronary heart disease".
This study followed 2,306 diabetic men for four years and found that the men with erectile dysfunction were 1.58 times more likely to have a cardiac event (fatal or non-fatal heart attack or surgery for heart disease). It has some potential weaknesses, for example it might not have used the most accurate method for classifying erectile dysfunction, some of the participants may already have had heart disease before the study began, and other drugs they were taking could have had an effect.
Despite its shortcomings however, this research corroborates what other studies have suggested. It suggests that an assessment of erectile dysfunction could be useful when assessing the risk of heart disease in men with diabetes.

Do Cigarette Smokers With Erectile Dysfunction Benefit From Stopping? A Prospective Study

2008-04-05T04:00:00.000-07:00

Do Cigarette Smokers With Erectile Dysfunction Benefit From Stopping? A Prospective Study
http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/55831.php
UroToday.com - Cigarette smoking has been identified as a strong risk factor for erectile dysfunction (ED.)
The authors of this study have attempted to identify whether smoking cessation reverses ED in men who previously smoked cigarettes.
They studied men with ED who entered a nicotine replacement program for smoking termination. The men studied had no risk factors for ED other than smoking. Degree of ED was categorized by the erectile function domain
(EFD) score of the International Index of Erectile Function. Patients completed the IIEF on entry into the nicotine replacement program and one year later after cessation of smoking or after one year of continued
smoking. There were 118 men who stopped smoking after the nicotine replacement program and 163 men who continued to smoke.
After one year off cigarettes, ED status improved in 25% of the ex-smokers and none of the men who continued to smoke. ED status worsened in 3.4% of the ex-smokers and 6.7% of those who continued to smoke. The authors conclude that smoking cessation can result in reversal of ED "in a considerable percent of smokers."

Viagra is no aphrodisiac'

Viagra is no aphrodisiac'

http://www.indianexpress.com/res/web/pIe/ie/daily/19980717/19850474.html

In the age of Viagra, nearly 350 men, all in the 50-plus age bracket, and a handful of women openly discussed impotence at a lecture on `What is new in the Management of Male Impotence?' at the S P Jain Auditorium, Bombay Hospital, organised by the Indo-American Society.

While Dr Bhalchandra Parulkar, Consultant Urologist and Andrologist at the University of Massachusetts Hospital, USA, quoted various examples of the Americans' need for lifelong virility, the questions that followed showed things were barely different this side of the world. Parulkar explained thatthere are a whole list of drugs which should not be used along with Viagra. ``Viagra will not work if the blood vessels and nerves surrounding the prostate gland have been surgically removed. If the vessels are intact, it might,'' he said, adding that if a man was capable of walking up two storeys without getting breathless, he could safely use Viagra, even after coronary bypass.

Parulkar also laid to rest doubts on Vanprasthashram and Hindu culture, quoting the example of a newly married 80-year-old Viagra user. "If every impotent man in the US uses Viagra six to eight times a month, the country will go bankrupt. But if a 60 year-old Indian man wants to use Viagra and pay for it himself, there is no reason why we should stop him!'' Explaining the 21 related Viagra-deaths in the US, Parulkar said: "Those who take this drug must undergo a detailed examination to exclude coronary artery disease. When a patient is hospitalised after a heart attack, a nitrite patch is placed on his chest. Nitrite and Viagramake a lethal combination".
Viagra apart, there was a keen interest evinced on alternative methods to cure impotence. Parulkar spoke of two drugs: Pentalomine and Apomorphine, which are yet to be launched. There is also a range of other products like injection therapy, a supository which has to be inserted in the urethra, a vacuum pump which induces erection using negative pressure, micro-surgery and implants. In the present scenario, where Viagra is being sold in Mumbai without a licence, prescription or medical check up, there is an obvious need to highlight the difference between a drug for impotence and an aphrodisiac. Parulkar stressed that Viagra will not increase libido. The best aphrodisiac, he pointed out, is an understanding partner.
