Sexual dysfunction in men is one of the most common and sensitive health issues in men's medicine. Many men are affected by it in the course of their lives, but only a small proportion actively seek medical help. In our practice in Switzerland, we offer a well-founded, respectful and discreet assessment and treatment of such complaints. Sexuality is an essential component of quality of life and psychological well-being. Disorders in this area often have an impact not only on the relationship, but also on self-esteem and general life satisfaction.
The causes of sexual dysfunction are varied. It is often a combination of physical and psychological factors. The most common physical triggers include circulatory disorders, hormonal imbalances, chronic illnesses such as diabetes mellitus or high blood pressure, as well as the use of certain medications. An unbalanced lifestyle with little exercise, an unhealthy diet and excessive alcohol or nicotine consumption can also impair sexual function. On a psychological level, stress, anxiety, depression or conflicts in relationships play a significant role. These factors can reinforce each other and thus lead to a permanent problem.
One of the most common sexual dysfunctions is erectile dysfunction. This is the persistent inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual intercourse. This symptom can be both an early warning sign of cardiovascular disease and an expression of a hormonal imbalance, such as a testosterone deficiency. Another common symptom is premature ejaculation, in which ejaculation occurs very early, which is stressful for many men and their partners. Other disorders can include a reduced sexual desire, pain during sexual intercourse or orgasm disorders.
