When broaching any mention of a medical concern, men find it too embarrassing to discuss. These problems are common and should be aired to remove the taboo.
Men prefer not to discuss Premature Ejaculation
This topic provokes a great deal of unease with men but this ailment is very normal and occurs in practically every man at one stage in their lives. They find it belittling that they are unable to be in control of their ejaculation. The more often it happens, the less they are able to deal with it and can become, to their detriment, more introverted and it may even lead to depression. The knock on effect of this symptom of depression, is that it will affect the relationship that he is in. There is a solution called the Prolong Climax Control Programme which consists of a six week programme offering a treatment that can postpone orgasm until both he and his partner are ready.
Men avoid discussing Low Sperm Count
Hearing that you have a low sperm count is not uplifting especially if you are hoping to start a family but there is no need to feel awkward about this: in fact it is a very common reason why male infertility happens. Sometimes this is due to a hormone balance or an infection which is treatable through a series of either hormone replacement treatment or antibiotics.
Men are uncomfortable talking about Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI)
One of the main points that are hard to bring up among men is STI and they find it even more humiliating in from of a doctor. What men do not realise is that it is fairly usual for STI to occur even if he is not careless and can only be treated with medication administered by a GP.
Men can’t face talking about Gynecomastia or Male Breasts
When Gynecomastia results in a man, it invariably means that he has put on weight and the pectoral region develops fat. However it is essential that if a man’s breast enlarges suddenly or they become painful, medical examination will need to be conducted. A few of the other causes for this ailment are chronic liver disease, kidney failure, tumours, genetic disorders (ex: Klinefelfter’s syndrome), reaction to some therapeutic medication and androgen hormone exposure. However in older men, these enlargements may be due hormonal imbalances.
Men are incapable of opening up about Erectile Dysfunction
Discussing this subject is not easy at all amongst men. The definition of male impotence focuses on the inability to fulfil or continue an erection for as long as it takes to be satisfied by sex. For this to happen, the blood flow must be acceptable for the penis to maintain an erection. The underlying origin may be cardiac or vascular disease. Check for cholesterol, obesity and smoking plus change your lifestyle. The medication available include Cialis, Viagra and Levitra.
It is time now to open up and stop the discomfort!
Thanks for the guest post, ProlongShop.
Yes, and how about Hypogonadism. Or what I call it now that I have it: old man shriveled balls disease.
They get smaller, softer. T score drops from 600 or 700 normal to 148. My doc asked for tests when I was 65 because: a) I was depressed
b) my ass went flat early
c) my belly was out there
d) talked and thought about sex but never did it; seldom wanked even
Now I shoot .6ml of Testosterone every Sat. in my thigh now and I’m back to normal. For every guy like me that knows he has low T, five more guys don’t know and have shame around this.
Fuck shame.
I’m sorry that you’ve had to go through this. I hope you’ve found a safe place to talk about it!
These things are so important! Even if a guy doesn’t have to deal with all of these issues personally, they should not be taboo. From my experience/observation, it often takes an open, caring woman whom he trusts, either a romantic partner, friend, sister, or otherwise, to get a guy to really open up about these things, or get up the courage to see a doctor when needed.
