    There are sexual abnormalities of desire that can be due to a change in mental health, certain nervous system conditions, hormonal changes, medications, etc. There are erectile dysfunction issues that can be caused by mental health changes, medications, diseases, hormonal changes, blood vessel issues, neurologic problems and even diseases or problems with the penis itself. There are ejaculation problems that can occur for multiple reasons, such as mental health changes, medical conditions, medications, hormones, neurologic changes, etc. There are problems with orgasm that can be due to medications, mental health, neurologic diseases, etc. There are structural or anatomical penile issues from a variety of causes.
     
    These problems listed above can occur by themselves or in combination, but the real bottom line is that sexual health is sometimes dismissed as easy to achieve, when in reality it can be quite complex. In many cases individuals benefit from working with a specialist who practices in these areas. Please do not hesitate to contact a healthcare professional if you believe you are having any issues.

    There are more options available for men and women (lifestyle changes, supplements, prescriptions, procedures, counseling, etc.) compared to any other time in medical history! You have to ask for help, which is actually the toughest step. If you do seek medical help, be sure to find a doctor who makes you feel comfortable as you discuss personal issues.
