Menopause is the point of time in a woman’s life when she stops having her period. It is defined as not having a menstrual cycle for 12 months. There is also a transition time leading up to menopause called perimenopause, during which women may experience lighter and less frequent periods as well as symptoms such as hot flashes, mood swings, night sweats, headaches, vaginal dryness, and others.
The prostate is a walnut-sized gland that is responsible for producing seminal fluid (the fluid that sustains and carries sperm). It is located between the bladder and the penis, and it wraps around the urethra, which is the tube that allows urine to flow out of the body.
The electric vibrator was invented in the late 1880s by an English physician named Joseph Mortimer Granville. Originally, it was designed to be used as a tool to relieve male patients’ muscle aches and pains. However, some historians claim that physicians used vibrators as an efficient way to deliver “pelvic massages” to women who had been diagnosed as hysterical, a process they had previously been conducting manually.
You may be experiencing anejaculation and/or retrograde ejaculation. Anejaculation occurs when a man does not release semen from his penis when he orgasms. This could be due to failure of emission, which is when the semen fails to enter the urethra. Alternatively, it could be due to retrograde ejaculation, which is when the neck of the bladder does not fully close during ejaculation, allowing the semen to flow back into the bladder instead of out of the penis.
In 2010, the World Association for Sexual Health (WAS) established World Sexual Health Day, which has been celebrated each September 4th since then. Initially, the idea behind World Sexual Health Day was to create greater social awareness about sexual health as well as to reduce and eventually eliminate the stigma around discussing sexuality.
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common medical condition that affects men around the world. It can be caused by a number of factors such as stress, anxiety, relationship issues, substance abuse, vascular problems, neurological impairments, or underlying medical conditions such as diabetes. Fortunately, there are several treatment options for ED. The following is a list of the most common treatment options:
Pregnancy, childbirth, and becoming a mother can all have an effect on a woman’s sexual function. Breastfeeding may also impact a woman’s sex life. While past studies have shown conflicting results on whether breastfeeding has an overall positive or negative effect on one’s sex life, the following are some of the ways in which it may have an impact.
Many people occasionally view pornography to enhance a masturbation experience or a partnered sexual interaction. For the most part, studies have indicated that recreational pornography use is not associated with any form of sexual dysfunction or sexual difficulties.
Peyronie’s disease is a medical condition in which scarring develops on the penis, causing it to bend or curve during erections. It occurs in two phases: the acute phase and the chronic phase. These two phases have distinct characteristics and should be handled differently, so it is important to know how to tell one from the other.
A penile implant (prothesis) is a device that is surgically inserted into the penis as a treatment for erectile dysfunction (ED). There are two main types of penile implants: the malleable implant that contains semirigid rods and is therefore always firm, and the more commonly used inflatable implant that is manually filled with fluid to achieve an erection.
