Chronic Pain – is characterized by lasting for several months
or more. The pain may be there one month, disappear for a little while, and
then return. When you experience chronic pain it can affect your sleep
patterns, lead to depression, possible isolation and the inability to move.
Obviously, this type of pain can also interfere with sexual health. Diabetes - men who are affected with diabetes do not
usually have problems with sexual function except for the few that experience
impotence, which can be caused by diabetes. There are treatments available if
you suffer from impotence caused by diabetes. Heart Disease – one of the symptoms of heart disease is the
inability for blood to flow freely. The penis needs blood flow in order to
maintain an erection; therefore, if the blood cannot flow an erection cannot be
maintained. Then there is the free that once a man has experienced a heart
attack participating in the sexual act may trigger another one. There is a
simple standard to determine if a man is ready for sex: if he can climb two
flights of stairs without losing his breath or having any pain then he is
considered well enough to engage in sexual activity. Incontinence – is the inability to control the flow of urine.
This increases with age, can be embracing, and seems to happen more to women
than men do. The leaks can occur during exercise or when you laugh, sneeze, or
even cough. Incontinence may even occur during sex due to the increased
pressure on your bladder. There is no need to stop having sex. Speak to your
doctor and he/she will discuss options with you. *****
