More Prostate Cancer Survivors Turning To Sexual Rehabilitation

According to a recent article in Medical News Today, more men are turning to Sexual Rehabilitation. Why?

Because of the technological advances since its debut, prostate cancer is being diagnosed earlier in men. Younger men are finding themselves tackling prostate cancer and coping with the effects.

For many men, prostate cancer can disrupt sexual activity and the ability to perform as they would have previously. The changes can be difficult to handle and men are finding alternative ways to improve their sex lives.

Many men, especially the younger demographic, are not fully prepared for the life style changes that take place after treating prostate cancer and many are hearing about "sexual rehabilitation."

Dr Michael Lowy from Sydney Men's Health says that " sexual rehabilitation services are an evolving and useful scientific and clinical branch of sexual medicine and urology" and recently presented these findings to the Clinical Oncolgoical Society of Australia.

In the years to come, sexual rehabilitation, accomplished through comprehensive treatment strategies, may be a term the public becomes more and more familiar with as techniques improve and stigma decreases.

Premature Ejaculation Could Be Genetic

Some studies have claimed that Premature Ejaculation is caused by a psychological source. However, recent studies on Dutch men have brought forth the idea that maybe genetics play a larger role.

The study tested 89 men who have had trouble with premature ejaculation since their first sexual experience. In these men, Serotonin levels were far lower than the 92 men that had never had such experiences. The areas of the brain that lacked sufficient levels of Serotonin were the same areas that control ejaculation.

Dr. Marcel Waldinger, the conductor of the study, determined that this means it may be possible to treat Premature Ejaculation with gene therapy.

Dr. Hall, a psychotherapist, confirmed that Premature Ejaculation is not purely psychological and that "serotonin was linked ejaculation and that researchers were developing drugs for the condition that prolong this hormone's action."

Communication with your partner

Even though Premature Ejaculation or Erectile Dysfunction can begin as a male condition, they can evolve into a couple's concern. In other words, the condition may at first only affect the man, but it can eventually affect both partners and ultimately their relationship.

Partners of men with ED or PE often think its safe to say that this problem is simply a normal part of the aging process. Many often attribute ED or PE to a waning sexual libido while others may perceive that their partner no longer finds them to be attractive. Often times, partners of men with PE quietly suffer from disappointment and frustration.

In the majority of cases, men retain their sexual interests throughout the entirety of their lives, and want to keep their ability to enjoy and share their sexual intimacy to the very fullest.

But there is hope. ED and PE are completely treatable conditions, and an dialogue open with your partner can be the first spark in the reignition of intimacy. Many men who involve their partners in an clear, caring discussion find their partners are just as interested in sexual intimacy as they are themselves, and are more than willing to give their support.

What you should know about PE

Premature ejaculation (PE) is ejaculation that occurs uncontrolled, either shortly after or before sexual penetration, with minimal sexual stimulation and before it is desired. PE may result in an unsatisfactory sexual experience for both partners. This might increase anxiety, which can also compound the problem. Premature ejaculation is amongst the most common forms of male sexual dysfunction, and has most likely affected every man at some point in his life.
