Small or big problem can occur in all marital and
non-marital relationships from time to time, but these problems are especially
sensitive when they are related to sex. This is a short list of common sexual
problems and how to solve them.
What causes sexual problems in women?
As we all know, certain physiological processes affect the
sex life of every man, but women don’t have such problems. The most common
cause for sexual dysfunction in women is based on the lack of desire, lack of
arousal or painful sex. In addition, some women cannot achieve intense orgasm because
of this pain.
Despite the poor relationship and stress which usually lead
to sexual dysfunction in women, some women experience decrease in the level of
estrogen especially during menopause. Furthermore, some diseases like
depression or thyroid problems can also affect woman’s libido.
What type of medicines can result in sexual problems in men
and women?
The best-known medicines that lead to these problems are
tranquilizers or antidepressants. They can significantly lower the desire for
sex in both women and men. In addition, women can experience low sex drive if
they take certain contraceptive pills or medicines used for relieving menopause
symptoms. Finally, high blood pressure medicines, antihistamines, non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs, drugs for cholesterol, Parkinson’s disease and few
other drugs can also have negative effects.
What is the most common cause of sexual problems in women
and men?
Sexual problems come in many forms, but in most cases they
are defined as emotional or physical problems that prevent partners to achieve
mutually satisfying intimate relationship. Some of the most common causes in
men include diabetes, heart disease, prostate issues, damaged nerves in the
spinal cord, lack of testosterone etc.
A common issue in women is lack of libido due to lack of
estrogen or thyroid problems (which can also affect men) or painful intercourse
due to vaginal dryness. There are also some couples that experience problems
because they use substances that affect the sexual function. These substances
include nicotine, alcohol, narcotic drugs, drugs for high blood pressure,
antidepressants and antihistamines.
Frequent sexual problems in men
Numerous scientific surveys and studies have confirmed that
the most common problem among men is premature ejaculation. About 75% of men
who have sexual problems belong to this category. Premature ejaculation is
defined as a type of ejaculation that occurs before or short after the sexual
intercourse begins. Although almost each man can experience such thing from
time to time, this problem has a chronic nature in some men. In such cases, the
cause might be found in the sensitivity or light stimulation of the nervous
system, lack of control over the body’s ability to respond to excitement or
obsessive compulsive disorder. Chronic premature ejaculation can be treated
with antidepressant medications which need to be taken 12 hours before the
sexual intercourse.
There is another cause that is frequently overlooked –
prostate gland infection also known as prostatitis. In cases like this, men are
advised to follow antibiotic therapy. Things like medications and stress can
also lead to temporary sexual problems.
