Prescription medications are often necessary for treating
serious or chronic conditions, and they can be critical to a man’s overall health.
However, many medications come with a host of unwanted side effects. For men,
impaired bedroom performance can be an especially upsetting problem, as
medications can interfere with hormone production, circulation and nerve
function, leading to a reduction in desire and/or the ability to become
excited. While it is important to follow a treatment plan for a serious health
problem, impaired bedroom performance can create problems of its own, affecting
a man’s overall quality of life. Fortunately, by working with their doctors, as
well as engaging in adequate male
organ care, men are often able to improve their responsiveness and ability to
perform.
The following types of medications are often prescribed for
dealing with common health problems and are known to cause problems with
bedroom performance in men (as well as women, in many cases):
1) Medications for hypertension (high blood pressure);
2) Antidepressants and antianxiety medications;
3) Anti-seizure medications used for treating epilepsy;
4) Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (these may
include over-the-counter medications for treating everyday aches and pains);
5) Medications used in treating Parkinson’s disease;
6) Antiarrhythmic heart medications;
7) Antihistamines (over-the-counter remedies for colds and
allergies may be included in this category);
8) Muscle relaxants;
9) Prostate cancer medications;
10) Chemotherapy medications.
In addition to doctor-prescribed medications, there are numerous
recreational and illicit substances that can have unwanted sensual side
effects; even alcohol can have a negative impact in terms of bedroom
performance.
Tips for handling medication-induced
loss of sensual function
Loss of sensual function can be enormously frustrating; however,
it is critically important that men do NOT stop taking any medications without
consulting with their physicians first. Stopping a prescribed treatment may
lead to dangerous health complications. Other solutions may be available to
address bedroom performance problems:
1) Alternative medications. Often, when loss of performance is of
concern, there are alternative medications that may address the same health
issue without the negative effects on a man’s sensual response. Men should work
with their doctors to find the medication that works best for their condition.
2) Dietary changes. Whether loss of function is linked to
medications or to the underlying medical condition, changes to the diet can
help to improve a man’s overall physiological health, not to mention his
ability to perform. Eating fresh, unprocessed foods that are rich in vitamins,
minerals, heart-healthy fats, lean protein and fiber can increase energy
levels, improve a man’s mood and promote healthy heart function – all of which
are important to a healthy desire.
3) Exercise. Enough can’t be said about the
importance of physical activity. Regular exercise is a crucial part of staying
healthy, and this includes not only a man’s physical condition, but his mental
health as well. Exercising for at least 30 minutes a day, at least 5 days a
week, can have enormous benefits, including weight loss, increased
cardiovascular function and feelings of well-being and confidence.
4) Medications. While not all men are enthusiastic about
adding a medication to counter the effects of another medication, some may
choose to explore this option. In some cases, doctors may suggest another
prescription medication to counter issues with performance.
5) Male organ health creams. For some men, adding a
specially-formulated male organ
health crème (health
professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) to their personal care routine may be
an effective option. A crème that is enriched with vitamins, amino acids and
antioxidants that are aimed at improving circulatory and nerve function in the
male organ may lead to increased function by stimulating blood flow and
sensation in the area where it matters most. And even men who do not have
performance-related issues can benefit from a cream that leaves the male skin
soft, smooth and resilient.
