Medicines and Sex – Not a very Good Combination

Sex is suppose to give people comfort and pleasure, when sex is delivering the opposite then you and your partner need to seek for treatment.

Many relationships, marriages are suffocating and happiness is literally missing and has no place in many relationships because of bedroom problems. I am talking about sexual discomfort experienced in most relationships today. This could be due to erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation and inadequate flow of blood to the penis or any other malfunctions. It is true that both men and woman are equally affected and it takes a complex chain of events to move from arousal to satisfying orgasm. The following must be properly balanced for this to be achieved:

• The mind has to stay focused
• The nerves have to stay sensitive
• The blood has to flow to all the right places

Much as we desire to have all these to function properly many at times this is not so and often things can break the chain including even the pills you were prescribed for to offer solution. The medical professionals will tell you that medicines often work by making alterations in your blood flow and the brain chemistry it is therefore no surprise that these medicine may affect your sexual function negatively. Careful attention should be taken when using medications because the truth is medications can rip off a person’s sex drive, delay orgasm or even prevent orgasm completely and may even cause an erectile dysfunction in men.

It takes great sacrifice to build a relationship and sexual matters should not be the reason why you are experiencing problems, therefore if you are noticing certain signs of drop in your ability to have or enjoy sex, you must take the most appropriate step of finding timely solutions to this problem before it is too late. Talking to doctor Dalal Akoury will be the best thing you can do for yourself and to your relationship. Doctor Akoury is available and she is only a phone call away, you don’t have to worry when you’re being attended by this great doctor who has been in this discipline for over two decades. It may not matter the kind of medication you were using before, during your one on one consultation with the doctor she will evaluate your situation and eliminate all your worries.

Medicines and Sex – Drugs affecting your sexual function

Selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors (SSRIs) or serotonin-specific reuptake inhibitor are a class of compounds characteristically used as antidepressants in the treatment of depression, anxiety disorders and some personality disorders. These drugs are very common in television adverts for antidepressants such as Paxil (paroxetine) or Zoloft (sertraline) mention “certain sexual side effects.” The real point is that for some people, SSRI antidepressants can put their desire on hold and make it difficult for them to achieve orgasm. Recent findings have established that for every six women using SSRIs one will have fresh sexual problems. In another study reported in The American Family Physician it was established that up to one-half of patients taking SSRIs have reported sexual problems. Study results vary depending on the patients studied and the questions asked, but the final message is the same which is sexual side effects caused by SSRIs are common.

As I have already stated if SSRIs or any other kind of medication for that matter is affecting your sex life call and talk to doctor Akoury. As reported in the current Psychiatry Reports if you can get hold of it there are very many options to get you back on track and doctor Akoury will in your consultation with her help you regain your sex life upon evaluation and may advice on either Orgasm Shot® (O-Shot®) or Priapus Shot ® depending on your situation I recommend that you call this experienced doctor to not only regain your sex life but also to revive and add value to your fading relationship.

Medicines and Sex – Blood pressure medications

Are you suffering from high blood pressure and you are on medication? It must interest you to know that most drugs used in controlling high blood pressure like diuretics and beta blockers which are very common can affects ones sex life. These drugs can cause erectile dysfunction in men however when they are taken by women, they can diminish sexual desire. It is important to note that switching from one drug to another may not necessarily offer you a solution when it comes to high blood pressure’s medications. Doctor Akoury will help you determine the best medical solution for you based on your unique circumstances. For instance the following medications will work differently as follows:

Medicines and Sex – Opioid (narcotic) painkillers

Opioids such as morphine or Oxycontin (oxycodone) go beyond pain elimination. One of its side effects is that it is capable of reducing the production of testosterone and other hormones which are very essential in facilitating sexual drive desires in both men and women. The sexual side effects of opioids haven’t been thoroughly investigated; however preliminary studies paint a disappointing picture according to reported in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism where a study of 73 men and women receiving spinal infusions of opioids uncovered widespread sexual problems. 95% of the men and 68% of the women reported a drop in sex drive and all of the premenopausal women either developing irregular periods or stopped menstruating completely.

Medicines and Sex – Antihistamines

Several over the counters medications can affect your sex life negatively. A very good example is Antihistamines. A study established that these drugs can cause erectile dysfunction or ejaculation problems in men and as for women, antihistamines can cause vaginal dryness. This is only a partial list I have given but other drugs that can affect a person’s sex life include oral contraceptives, tricyclic antidepressants, antipsychotics, and cholesterol medications. I do not know what you are using but one thing I know is that medicine and sex is not a very good combination and I strongly recommend that what you’re using call or visit AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center under Doctor Akoury’s care for proper evaluation and lasting solution that will restore your relationship and sexual pleasure for a very long time.
