Male sexual dysfunction (MSD) is a term for a variety of conditions that can affect men of any age but are more common in older men.
Sexual dysfunction in men is a common issue that can affect various aspects of sexual health, including desire, arousal, and performance. Understanding the different types of sexual dysfunction, their causes, and treatment options is crucial for managing these conditions effectively.
Treatments for MSD
- Phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors: Drugs like Viagra (sildenafil), Cialis (tadalafil), and Levitra (vardenafil) are commonly prescribed to help men achieve and maintain erections by increasing blood flow to the penis. These medications are typically taken orally before sexual activity.
- Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT): For men with low testosterone levels, TRT can help improve libido, sexual function, and overall energy levels. TRT can be administered through gels, patches, injections, or pellets placed under the skin.
- Injectable medications: In some cases, injectable medications such as trimix may be prescribed to help stimulate blood flow to the penis, resulting in an erection. This injection is typically self-administered into the base or side of the penis before sexual activity.
- Combination therapy: Combined PDE5 inhibitors and testosterone therapy: Some men may benefit from a combination of PDE5 inhibitors and TRT to address both the physical and hormonal aspects of erectile dysfunction (ED).
