Men can often face problems with sex. Unfortunately, not only do they cause struggles in the bedroom. They can lead to relationship troubles with partners too. It can also affect your overall mental, emotional, and social well-being.
Men in Daytona Beach are no exception either. However, you can always get help for your sexual dysfunction. Learn more about the different sexual health issues you could have and how a Daytona Beach sexual health physician can treat you.
Men’s Sexual Health Issues You Could Encounter
Sexual health problems do not just refer to diseases you could catch during sexual activities. Here are some more complications that our Daytona Beach sexual health physicians handle:
Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction, also called impotence or ED, is a sexual health problem in which the man cannot get or maintain his erection. Erectile dysfunction is more common among older men, but it can happen at any age. According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), about 30 million men have erectile dysfunction here in the US.
Libido Loss
The loss of libido or sex drive is an issue that can happen to both men and women. It basically means you do not have as much desire or interest in having sex. In men, the lack of sex drive is often caused by low testosterone levels, though it may also be due to mental problems such as anxiety or depression.
Ejaculation Disorders
Men may also have problems with ejaculation during sex. For instance, they may ejaculate too soon or take too long to do so. Some men may not even ejaculate at all during orgasm. In other cases, the semen might go back into the bladder instead of out the penis. Depending on the ejaculation issue, the causes can range from diseases and psychological issues to medications and hormonal imbalances.

Common Reasons Behind Sexual Health Problems in Men
Sexual health complications can happen to men for various reasons. Let us look at some causes that could apply to you.
Underlying Health Conditions
We often think of sexual dysfunctions as problems caused by mental or emotional issues like anxiety. However, physical issues can be at play as well. For example, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes affect blood flow, which means your penis might not get enough blood to have an erection. Nerve disorders such as multiple sclerosis can also limit your ability to achieve erections, as your penis cannot receive signals properly.
Medications
If you take prescription drugs, you may experience side effects that cause sexual dysfunctions. For instance, antidepressants can decrease testosterone production, leading to less sexual desire. Meanwhile, taking medicine for high blood pressure can reduce blood flow to the penis, making it harder to get or keep your erection.
Lifestyle
Lifestyle choices affect your sexual health as well. For example, men who regularly smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol are more susceptible to developing erectile dysfunction, low sex drives, and even infertility. Alcohol is a depressant, so it can drastically diminish your mood and leave you with lower libido. Meanwhile, the chemicals in tobacco products can cause blood circulation issues.
Stress also reduces testosterone counts and can cause erectile dysfunctions. So if you constantly face stressful situations at work or in your personal life, you may also find your sex drive lower.

We Approach Your Sexual Health Holistically
Our Daytona Beach sexual health treatments do not just involve prescribing medicine to deal with your symptoms. We also consider your overall health and not just the complications you come to us for. As mentioned before, sexual dysfunction may be a symptom of an entirely different health issue.
For this reason, the medical team will conduct a full exam on you first. It will help us determine what other health problems you have before developing a tailor-made treatment plan. For example, they could include custom diet and exercise programs for addressing hormonal imbalances, obesity, and diabetes. If nerve disorders, blood circulation, or tissue damage are involved, they may prescribe therapy sessions for you.

Sexual Health Treatments You Could Undergo
Our Daytona Beach sexual health physicians employ methods in internal medicine, cellular physiology, and biochemistry. As such, we may recommend certain treatments for you. The number of therapy sessions needed will depend on the prognosis of your condition.
Some of these treatments include:
Platelet-rich Plasma Therapy®
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a treatment where we take a blood sample from you and run it through a centrifuge machine. This activates the platelets, which we will then inject back into your body. The platelets support cell recovery and boost your natural healing process.
This, in turn, helps restore damaged tissues in your affected organ, which can boost your sensitivity and stamina during sex. PRP therapy can be a viable option for those suffering from erection problems due to nerve damage.
Acoustic Pressure Wave Therapy®
If a men’s sexual health patient has blood circulation issues with their penile area, we may advise them to undergo acoustic pressure wave therapy. Also called shock wave therapy, it is a non-invasive treatment that uses low-intensity waves to stimulate blood cell production and tissue regeneration. These help improve blood flow in your penis, encouraging stronger, more rigid erections.
Stem Cell Therapy®
We also offer exosome therapy, which is a particular form of stem cell therapy. Exosomes are special vesicles that the stem cells interact with. The interaction helps accelerate tissue regeneration, allowing your affected body parts to heal faster.
For our male patients, exosome therapy can be used along with our other treatments to boost the recovery of the penis.
