Hi and welcome to MansMatters, the Erectile Dysfunction and Peyronie’s Disease Shockwave Clinic.
Today, I want to talk about erectile dysfunction and being gay. No one likes to admit they’re having sexual problems, but for many gay men, their sexuality can be central to their identity. Many gay men have had to sacrifice friends and family in coming out and making a stand about their sexuality. Historically, gay men have been victims of stereotypes, with the media and magazines suggesting that they are always ready for sex and always in the mood.
So, when this doesn’t turn out to be their reality, many gay men assume they are at fault. An inability to perform often leads to acute embarrassment and a reluctance to seek help. The harsh fact is, just like heterosexual men, over 50 percent of gay men over the age of 40 will suffer from erectile dysfunction, and a further 10 percent will suffer from Peyronie’s disease.
With Peyronie’s disease, the penis starts to curve. While this may not seem like a problem in the early stages, it can become severely debilitating and prevent sex in the more advanced stages. When we are younger, erections seem to have a mind of their own. Regardless of our sexual proclivities, they always appear when we don’t expect them or even when we don’t want them. But as we get older, erections can sometimes become a little reluctant, even when they really shouldn’t be.
The fact is, most men viewing this video have either had or will have periods where they struggle with erections. Sometimes it won’t go hard at all, sometimes it’s not quite hard enough to do the job, but other times it fixes itself. Erectile dysfunction (ED) does not discriminate, and for both gay and heterosexual men, it eventually becomes a medical issue.
ED can have several causes, often related to other health conditions. Diabetes, multiple sclerosis, and general circulatory problems are all common causes. When blood flow to the penis is interrupted due to these conditions, erections become difficult. In fact, ED can sometimes be the first symptom of a circulatory problem. Drugs—both prescription and recreational—are frequent factors in ED as well. These are all reasons why you should always consult a doctor when ED occurs; you may be preventing a more serious health issue, such as a heart condition.
Low testosterone could also be the culprit, particularly for older men. It’s also important to consider the possibility that psychological issues could be contributing to ED. However, just because you have psychological ED doesn’t necessarily mean that your overall mental health is at risk.
Most importantly, there is plenty of help available, regardless of the cause. There are many treatment options for men, ranging from well-known pills, to penile pumps, traction devices, and injection therapy, all the way to permanent surgical implants. But there is also a new groundbreaking treatment: focused shockwave therapy.
Focused shockwave therapy is now the gold standard for erectile dysfunction and Peyronie’s disease treatment. This method is widely discussed in our other videos. Focused shockwave therapy works by creating new blood vessels and repairing existing ones, rejuvenating nerve tissue and leading to fuller, harder erections. It also breaks down the plaque in Peyronie’s disease that causes the bend in the penis.
