  • Oligo, Astheno, Teratozoospermia
  • High DNA Fragmentation Index
  • Poor acrosomal capacitation
  • Unexplained
  • Azoospermia
  • Erectile dysfunction
  • Anejaculation and Retrograde ejaculation

Correction of the problems

  • Hormonal balancing
  • Varicocele ligation

GUIDE to good male sexual health

Do you experience voluntary erections more than 80% of the time?

Optimal male sexual health includes sexual desire (libido) and the ability to get and sustain an erection (erectile function). Although physiology can affect both the desire for sex and the ability to have sex, mental health and emotional factors also play important roles.

Why is it important?

Apart from ensuring qualitative sexual gratification, good sexual health among males is also an indication of their overall physical, physiological, mental and emotional health. One should be aware and address issues on a precautionary basis.

Symptom of a deeper problem

In the absence of a normal or healthy sexual quotient of wellbeing, it can actually be an indicator of a deep-lying problem. Many things can cause ED, including stress, depression, relationship issues, abnormally low testosterone, damage from urological surgery, and even cholesterol-clogged arteries.

There are several and diverse reasons for Erectile Dysfunction. Medical investigations and research studies over the years indicate both physical and mental health issues as responsible. Physical issues like heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, and smoking can all cause erectile dysfunction. On the other hand, depression, anxieties, stress, relationship problems, and other mental health concerns can also interfere with sexual feelings.

Diseases that commonly cause ED include:

Vascular disease: These affect blood vessels and account for 70% of physical-related causes of ED, restrict blood flow to the heart, the brain, and--in the case of ED--to the penis.

Diabetes: Diabetes can cause nerve and artery damage that can make achieving an erection difficult. Between 35% and 50% of men with diabetes experience ED.

Kidney disease: These cause chemical changes that affect hormones, circulation, nerve function, and energy level. These changes can lower libido (sex drive) or sexual ability. Drugs used to treat kidney disease may also cause ED.

Neurological (nerve and brain) diseases: The nervous system plays a vital part in achieving and maintaining an erection. It is common for men with conditions such as stroke, multiple sclerosis (MS), Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and spinal cord injuries to experience ED. This is due to an interruption in the transmission of nerve impulses between the brain and the penis.

Prostate cancer: Prostate cancer doesn’t cause ED on its own, but treatment for prostate cancer can lead to erectile problems.

Kidney Stones, also called nephrolith or renal calculi, is amongst the most common health condition associated with the urinary system.

If you have suddenly or recently developed lower back pain, nausea and/or vomiting with the pain, blood in your urine & while urinating, compulsion to urinate frequently and fever combined with chill attacks, chances are that you are having kidney stones. In particular, a fever with a kidney stone or a urinary tract infection (UTI) with a kidney stone are surgical emergencies.

Kidney stones are hard collections of salt and minerals often made up of calcium or uric acid. They form inside the kidney and can travel to other parts of the urinary tract. Stones vary in size, while some are as small as a dot, or a fraction of an inch, others grow to be a few inches across and can also fill up the entire kidney.

A kidney stone forms when too much of certain minerals in your body accumulate in your urine. Lack of adequate hydration in the body is a most common reason for the formation of stones. The urine becomes more concentrated with higher levels of certain minerals.

General male fertility and sperm counts are declining globally, studies indicate. Over the last few decades, the fertility rates amongst men has declined by 50%.

One of the rising causes of male infertility is the reduction in sperm production. Several factors including air pollution, extensive use and exposure to insecticides, pesticides and harmful chemicals, use and exposure to heavy metals are amongst key imperatives for the deterioration.

It is established that adverse environmental factors have a significant and detrimental impact on male fertility. Certain industrial chemicals, environmental pollutants and radiation are known to contribute to or cause infertility. Lead poisoning, for example, has long been associated with infertility in both men and women.

Potential causes of this male fertility crisis include exposure to environmental endocrine disrupting chemicals (e.g., plasticizers, bisphenol A, and phthalates), rising rates of obesity, and the trend of delayed parenthood. Other causes include tobacco and alcohol consumption, illicit drugs, being exposed to toxins and more.

This condition can be addressed though medical intervention, changes to lifestyle, and mental-physical wellbeing. To know more, please book an appointment

Here is a basic Diagnostic Framework:

ed-treatment

Clinical trials have demonstrated that stem cells can restore enough erectile function to allow previously impotent men to engage in spontaneous sexual activity. Stem cell therapy has also resulted in patients regaining erectile function to engage in sexual activity.

Stem cell Regenerative Therapy

Hypothesis is that stem cells can differentiate into a wide variety of cells including endothelial cells, Schwann cells, smooth muscle cells, and neurons. These have beneficial effects, leading the host tissue to initiate a regenerative or healing response to diseased or injured tissue responsible for ED.

One reported case series of seven men treated using Stem Cell Therapy. In this series, 6 out of 7 diabetic patients ranging from 57 to 87 years age regained morning erections. Another phase 2 trial with 12 patients with post Radical Prostatectomy patients have shown significant improvement by 6 months.

It is said Stem cell therapy achieves at least 50% improvement in patients with erectile dysfunction (impotence) after initial administration.
