Male Sexual Dysfunction (MSD) refers to a variety of issues that affect a man’s sexual performance and satisfaction. This training video will discuss about the various aspects of male sexual dysfunction.

Types of Male Sexual Dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction

Refers to the inability to achieve or maintain an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse. It can result from

  • physical
  • psychological
  • a combination of factors
  • may require medical intervention or lifestyle changes for improvement
    • Premature ejaculation

    The condition in which a man ejaculates earlier than desired, often shortly after the initiation of sexual activity or even before penetration. It can be caused by psychological factors, such as

  • anxiety or relationship issues
  • may have an underlying biological cause
    • Retrograde ejaculation

    Occurs when semen flows backward into the bladder instead of being expelled out of the penis during ejaculation. This can be caused by

  • certain medications
  • nerve damage
  • prostate surgery, and may lead to fertility issues
    • Decreased libido or desire

    A reduced interest in sexual activity, which can be influenced by various factors, including

  • hormonal imbalances
  • stress
  • fatigue
  • relationship issues

    • Identifying the underlying cause and addressing it through counseling or medical treatment can help improve sexual desire.
