SEX AND HEALTH: SOME THINGS THAT CAN GO WRONG FOR MEN-BRAIN DAMAGE, BLINDNESS, ARTHRITIS
Posted under Men's Health-Erectile Dysfunction by adminCertain specific kinds of brain damage affect the sexual functioning of the brain and certain tumours can alter a person’s sexual behaviour but this is rare.
Blindness-This is, of course, no bar to sexual expression but it can be difficult for the blind to learn about their bodies and sex generally.
Arthritis-As we grow older our chances of suffering from some kind of arthritis increase and osteoarthritis of the hip can severely impair a person’s ability to have pain-free intercourse. About two-thirds of sufferers have intercourse difficulties. A hip replacement, of course, remedies the situation all round. It is interesting to point out here that many couples find that regular intercourse actually lessens their arthritic symptoms, though no one knows why. If you have a problem in this area talk to your doctor and see if he can get the pain better controlled with drugs if you cannot have an operation or while you are waiting for one.
Arthritis affecting other parts of the body (except the knees) usually has no effect on sex.
