ADHD Treatments and Sensual Health
More and more men are aware that matters
affecting sensual health are not necessarily all related to the male member.
(That doesn’t mean that proper attention to male organ health is not a factor, of course;
merely that the whole world of sensual health is bigger than just one organ.)
For men with ADHD, or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, some common
medications used to manage this condition sometimes may result in side effects
which can have an impact on sensual health.
Methylphenidate
As
most people nowadays know, ADHD is a condition usually characterized by three
symptoms: difficulty concentrating, having a need for an exceptional degree of
activity, and a tendency to behave impulsively. As with any condition, it
presents differently in different people. Some people may identify only with
one or two of the symptoms, others with all three; the degree to which any one
person exhibits any symptom can vary significantly from one person to another
(and vary at different times even for the same person).
Because
ADHD can create problems that impact a person’s ability to learn or complete
work in an accustomed manner, many people with ADHD are prescribed medication
to help manage the symptoms. Often this medication is methylphenidate (marketed
under various brand names).
Although
methylphenidate is often prescribed for people with ADHD, it also is used in
treating other conditions, such as depression, Parkinson’s disease and
narcolepsy.
Side
effects
So
how might methylphenidate affect a person’s sensual health? First, it’s
important to remember that many people take this treatment without having any
negative impact on their sensual lives; some may find it even helps them, as it
may make them feel more in control and less self-conscious.
But
some people do experience sensual health issues while on methylphenidate. These
issues may include a diminished sensual drive, painful male organ firmness or,
less frequently, priapism. (Priapism is a condition in which the manhood
remains stiff for several hours. While this may seem like an ideal situation in
theory, in practice it can produce tumescence that is quite painful. Of even
greater concern, priapism can damage male organ tissue to a degree that can
have future impact on sensual performance and enjoyment. A man experiencing
priapism needs to seek treatment right away to avoid potential long term
damage.)
In
addition, there could be other side effects which may not directly affect the
manhood but can contribute to sensual issues for a man. These include insomnia,
nervousness, easy irritability, and high blood pressure.
What
to do
If a
man with ADHD is taking methylphenidate and believes it is causing sensual
health issues, his first step should be to contact his doctor. The doctor and
patient should review the reasons why the man believes there is a connection
and determine what steps they may need to take. Sometimes the doctor may
recommend a different medication; other times he may recommend altering the
dosage or the frequency of administration.
Sensual
health can of course be affected by things other than the medication used to
treat ADHD. That’s one reason why paying close attention to male organ health
via the use of first rate male
organ health crème (health
professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil, which
is clinically proven mild and safe for skin) is advised. When the member is in its
best health, a man is in a good position to more quickly overcome other factors
affecting him. In selecting a crème, he should look for one that contains both
alpha lipoic acid and acetyl L carnitine. The former is a potent antioxidant
that combats free radicals and thereby protects the manhood from dangerous
oxidative stress. The latter helps protect an overused or roughly-used member
from peripheral nerve damage and the accompanying loss of sensation. The two
ingredients have a synergistic relationship, so finding both in one crème
enables them to work even better together.
