Treatment of Sexual Dysfunctions
Sexual dysfunction is a term used to describe the lack of sexual desire, painful sex including lack of production of sexual lubrication fluids, inability to have an erection and inability to experience orgasm.
The causes of this sexual problem also vary from one person to another. In advanced age such as those aged above 40 years of age, the loss of sexual desire or ability to perform sexually may due to reduced androgen hormones. In males and even some females, complications such as increased blood pressure and benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH).
BPH is known to block the flow of seminal and even vaginal fluids by blocking the urethra. This means that for such an individual, experiencing painful sex is highly likely because of the lack of adequate seminal fluids.
Besides this inability to lubricate the vagina and reduce the risk of causing injury, the lack of adequate seminal fluids will result in reduced ability to have an erection. This is because the same blood vessels and the nerve systems that are responsible for the release of the seminal fluids are responsible for release of the semen. They also contribute to the blood flow and pressure required fro erection.
While there are other forms of tablets that can be used in management of BPH, they are not as safe as Terazosin treatment. In the case of hypertension patients, the risk of increased water retention by the kidneys is highly likely.
The link between BPH and sexual dysfunction has been demonstrated in various research. The patients with BPH have been shown to develop secondary lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Therefore for any patient presenting the LUTS, would need to be assessed for the sexual dysfunction.
The relationship between the LUTS and the sexual dysfunction is in the fact that the urethra of the patients of LUTS are not able to release the seminal fluids. The ability to erect is also reduced as the muscles around the penis will not be able to fully functional.
The terazosin treatment has been shown to be effective against the BPH and the secondary LUTS. As little as 10% dilution of the medicine is found to be quite effective in treating BPH including the improvement of the sex activities.
The safety levels of the medicine are quite good and therefore have been approved by most physicians including sex therapists. The simple dosage regime has made it easier for all to follow up and complete the dosage.
It trades in various brands including generic which allow the pricing to be competitive. This brings with it an advantage to the consumer who gets better pricing and saves from the purchase of the medication.
