Sexual health is as important as physical and mental health for overall well being. Maintaining a healthy sex life is presumably used as a gradient for measuring the happiness index. 

According to a report, sexual disorders in men are as common as cold and flu. However, what's noteworthy in this report is that not all disorders are long-lasting. Perhaps, some disorders are temporary and can be treated with home remedies. On the other hand, there could be chronic conditions that may require a medical diagnosis. 

In this article, we will discuss some of the most common male sexual disorders and the possible treatments for them.

Erectile Dysfunction

One of the most common male sexual disorders is erectile dysfunction. The disorder affects millions globally every year and can take years to treat properly. 

There could be several reasons for erectile dysfunction including physical and mental trauma. Besides, sometimes, erectile dysfunction is also caused due to infectious diseases. 

In most cases, it is necessary to seek a professional evaluation of the condition. A medical professional would then prescribe medications and physical exercises to treat the underlying symptoms.

Penile Sensitivity

Another common condition with males includes penile sensitivity. The head or the tip of the male organ contains hundreds of nerve endings and blood vessels. These are responsible for sensing any stimulus, arousal, and erection. 

Usually, sensitivity in the penile region is not a matter of concern. The symptoms alleviate on their own, just as they appear. However, if the sensitivity starts causing discomfort and distress, it should be addressed medically. 

For example, hypersensitivity can easily cause premature ejaculation. On the contrary, reduced sensitivity can cause low libido in males. You can surely learn more about its symptoms, and treatments. But notably, as already mentioned, most of the time this condition is self-resolving.

Premature Ejaculation

Sensitivity is one of the reasons for premature ejaculation. There could be several other reasons for this condition. Before learning about the causes, however, it is better to understand what premature ejaculation means. 

According to medical professionals, premature ejaculation is the condition when you have an orgasm within a minute or less of having sex. Debunking the common myth, there is no set time frame for how long an orgasm could last. Usually, male orgasms could last for as long as 6-8 minutes. 

That being said, for treating premature ejaculation, it is necessary to get medically diagnosed. After diagnosis, the doctor may suggest using medications for delaying the orgasm. 

On this note, it is necessary to understand that practicing safe sex and using contraceptives such as condoms can reduce the risk of sexual disorders to a large extent. Besides, maintaining proper hygiene around the penile region can also promote good sexual health. 

For any of the above-mentioned conditions, it is advised to talk with your doctor. As a rule of thumb, it is important that you talk to your doctor openly and honestly to receive the right treatment. Believe us when we say, you're not alone. There are indeed millions of other men who suffer from disorders like you and thankfully, most of these conditions can easily be treated.
