Essential Information Regarding Male Health: Focus on Men's Wellness Issues
In a recent event titled "#MaxPlay," physician-andrologist-urologist Chingiz Nugmanov, along with pharmaceutical company SANTO and the "Transform" theater, came together to discuss erectile dysfunction (ED) and improving quality of life. The event included an immersive performance by the "Transform" theater, where participants became direct heroes of the performance, emphasizing the importance of psycho-emotional aspects and helping participants get a little closer to themselves.
ED is defined as a persistent or temporary inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for sexual activity for three months or more. It is a complex issue that can have both organic and psychogenic causes.
Organic causes refer to physical or physiological issues affecting erectile function. These may include cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus, neurological disorders, hormonal imbalances, medication side effects, chronic illnesses, trauma or surgery affecting pelvic nerves or blood supply, and more.
Psychogenic causes, on the other hand, involve psychological or emotional factors such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, performance anxiety, and mental health disorders.
It's important to note that erectile function is a unique protective mechanism, not a separate center, and it physiologically involves the brain apart from stimuli (mental, tactile, visual, and olfactory).
In 98% of cases, ED is treatable with pharmacotherapy, using drugs based on sildenafil. Other treatment methods include vacuum-constriction therapy, intracavernous injections of vasodilators, and surgical treatment (implantation).
Nighttime erections, known as nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT), and morning erections, or morning wood, are normal occurrences in men and can indicate the presence of normal erectile function.
The andrologist, Chingiz Nugmanov, also commented that seeking medical help for ED should not be embarrassing, and it's important to consult doctors in any situation, even the most delicate. He emphasized that ED can be a symptom or signal of more complex diagnoses such as cardiovascular diseases or diabetes.
In the event, Chingiz Nugmanov, as a physician-andrologist-urologist at the Institute of Reproductive Medicine, did not discuss his specific views on the causes of ED, but his expertise and dedication to improving men's health were evident throughout the discussion. For more detailed insights, one can refer to his publications or lectures directly.
Science plays a crucial role in the understanding and treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED), a complex issue that affects both physical health-and-wellness and sexual-health, particularly men's health. During the "#MaxPlay" event, Chingiz Nugmanov, an andrologist and urologist, emphasized the importance of seeking medical help for ED and highlighted how it can be a symptom of underlying health conditions like cardiovascular diseases or diabetes.
