Sexual problems occur both in women and in men. Women can experience loss of libido, pain during intercourse or difficulty having an orgasm, while men face erectile dysfunction or impotence. This occurs when sexual arousal does not cause sufficient blood flow to the penis. Women and men can experience sexual difficulty from side effects of antidepressants, hormone insufficiency, and psychological factors. Men can also experience impotence due to diabetes, excessive alcohol consumption, smoking, high blood cholesterol, or high stress.
Sexual difficulty can cause a loss of confidence, self-esteem, and even depression. Treatment all depends on the cause of the sexual dysfunction. There are several natural and herbal treatments that have proven effective in preliminary trials to help with sexual dysfunction in both women and men. These consist of DHEA, arginine, ginseng, ginkgo, damiana. And for men specifically, Korean red ginseng, zinc, melatonin, ashwagandha, avena sativa, catuba, and saw palmetto have been shown helpful. If you are experiencing sexual dysfunction, consult a physician, and begin treatment to regain your sexual health.
