Sexual Dysfunction in Trauma Victims

by

According to a recent study reportedat the 2008 Clinical Congress of the American College of Surgeons, 3,087 out of 10,122 survey respondents reported cases of sexual dysfunction after experiencing severe physical trauma.

Trauma, a serious or body-altering injury, had not been linked to sexual dysfunctions until recent years and findings now support the correlation. After becoming aware of the increased number of young trauma patients experiencing sexual dysfunction, University of Washington doctors decided to conduct a study on patients recovering from trauma. The study included both male and female patients and showed similar rates of sexual dysfunction regardless of the patients gender.

Said one of the study’s leaders: “For most practitioners, both primary care and trauma physicians, sexual function is not on their radar screen and most often they think of erectile dysfunction in men. Sexual dysfunction is a complex and difficult topic for most practitioners to discuss. But sexual function is a major determinant of quality of life, impacts both men and women, and if physicians don’t ask patients about their sexual health, the patients are unlikely to bring it up. This is something physicians should be asking their patients about because there are excellent medications that work in the majority of patients.” The study aims to make trauma physicians aware of the findings.

Researchers are not sure why sexual dysfunction is so prevalent among trauma patients but they do suspect it might be related to the psychological effects of trauma and its life-changing limitations.

Yoga Linked to a Healthier Sex Life

by

The Journal of Sexual Medicine recently reported that sexually unsatisfied women who practiced yoga saw improvements in their sex life, sexual arousal and desire as well as heightened climax. It has been said that yoga may effectively treat premature ejaculation in some men.

“Mindfullness” and Yoga focus on the awareness of the present moment in order to release tension, stress and anxiety. The idea of awareness of the “now” increased awareness of the body which eventually led to sexual goals in many yogis.

In 2007, The Journal of Sexual Medicine published a report in which 68 Indian men who suffered from premature ejaculation were given a choice of yoga-based, non-pharmacological treatment or Prozac. The men who chose yoga as a form of treatment, and practiced for an hour each day, “had both subjective and statistically significant improvements in their intra-ejaculatory latencies, similar to participants in the pharmacological treatment group.”

Causes of ED: Cut Down On That Cholesterol

by

You are what you eat. Have you ever heard that before? Well, that may or may not be true, but the simple fact is that you can affected very strongly by what you eat, and that effect can gravitate over to the way you are able to perform sexually.

That is because high cholesterol levels can have a bearing on your possibility of developing erectile dysfunction, and Boston Medical Group, the leading experts in this field, think that you should know that.

Certainly you need cholesterol in your blood. What you don’t need is HIGH cholesterol, because in that case fatty deposits build up in your vessels that can greatly inhibit the flow of blood. This puts you at risk for a number of different things.

One of those things is a heart attack. Another is a stroke.

Yet another is erectile dysfunction.

And it makes sense, when you think about it, and you have the understanding that the process of achieving and maintaining erection has to do with the proper flow of blood through the arteries. Logically, it follows that when those arteries are clogged, you are going to have more problems with ANY kind of blood flow.

Did you know that having high levels of high cholesterol could increase your chances of developing erectile dysfunction by as much as 80%? It absolutely can.

That doesn’t mean you can’t do anything about it. First, reduce your intake of fatty foods and get some more exercise. And contact Boston Medical Group toll-free at 1-888-740-5170 to get help with erectile dysfunction, if it has indeed started to happen as a result. You will not be sorry.

Study: Less Sexual Desire Could Cause ED Years Later

by

Perhaps it would interest you to know that a sign that erectile dysfunction is on the way may come long before its physical onset.

That’s right, and you can bet that the people Boston Medical Group are probably more familiar with this subject than anyone else.

Last year, the results of a study involving 800 men were reported, and it was discovered that when men had less in the way of sexual desires and thoughts, it translated into a greater likelihood of developing ED than those who had normal sexual thoughts and desires.

The idea, one supposes, is that those thoughts, or lack thereof, are perhaps the beginning of a process of sexual dysfunction. In a way, that makes sense, because of the natural connection between thoughts and action as a part of the sexual function in general.

The American Urological Association reported the findings at their annual meeting last year, and while we don’t know why it took so long, the study in question took place between 1987 and 1997.

The group of men who took a survey and gave indications of reduced sexual desire were then re-visited and found to have ED at some level to a much more considerable degree.

For questions related to sexual desire and erectile dysfunction, please contact Boston Medical Group at any of its 21 offices nationwide.

ED and Your Diet: Eat Your Vegetables

by

Boston Medical Group is dedicated, completely and totally, to diagnosing and treating erectile dysfunction in adult males. Toward that end, of course, that means they are the recognized authorities in this area.

BMG understands that, whether one knows it or not, there are medical conditions in people that can bring on ED, and that there can be a very real connection between one’s diet and the onset of some of these conditions.

So there are certain foods that can be suggested as part of a healthy diet. Here are a few of them:

Mixed Vegetables – Speaking in layman’s terms, the more colorful the better. There are a lot of phytochemicals in mixed vegetables, which are great for the cells in general.

Eggs – You will do a trade-off here, because it is important to eat the whole egg in order to get the most out of its content of lutein, protein and iron. You can cut back on cholesterol in other ways.

Leafy Greens – These are great for you; what we are talking about here is the group that includes collard greens and spinach. Popeye loved his spinach; why shouldn’t you?

If you have any questions or concerns regarding erectile dysfunction, please contact Boston medical Group today at 1-888-740-5170. BMG has 21 convenient offices located through the U.S., and several overseas.
