I occasionally suffer from Hemorrhoids, and have been told that they can cause impotence.
Nothing I have read about Hemorrhoids seems to correlate with this, but it would but my mind at great ease if a medical professional could dispel the notion for me.
Or is there any link?
I have no problems getting it up-it lives in that state-but am worried about potential future problems.
I've been with my boyfriend for almost a year now and we've just started getting sexually active. He has confided in me that he has penile neuropathy due to complications of diabetes.
He's been to doctors and had tests done. The result is there is no problem with blood flow, it's nerve damage, the nerves don't transmit the signal to the penis to become fully erect. I've noticed the base does become semi erect but that's about it. Just curious if anyone has any experience with this and is there anything that will help such as over the counter medications like Cialis?
I have been reading up on alternatives for impotence because my husband has a problem in this area , I'm not sure if it's physical or emotional though , I recently read about this natural cure but that would mean that it's from anxiety or stress. Can impotence be really caused
from stress?
My wife starts hating me because I'm unable to give him pleasure. I'm afraid she founds elsewhere. The problem is due to impotence or erectile disorder. I've never seen a doctor because I've not used and I want to settle it all alone if possible.
View 5 RepliesI just started dating a woman and we have been having sex daily for the last month. Well, about 3 days ago, I started getting symptoms of hemorrhoids, not too big, but painful nonetheless. We were getting into it, and it seems that I can become erect but it doesn't last long b/c of the pain in my rectum. It has happened on 2 different occasions now, and it's becoming very frustrating. I have had hemorrhoids before, but not with a sexual relationship going at the sametime. And again, I have had the erection go down, but due to stress and other things on my mind. So my question is, What's going on, why am I losing my erection when 3 weeks ago I was erect and still erect long after orgasm?
View 1 RepliesThere is a large lump on the right underside of my penile shaft, I haven't had sex and know its not a sexual disease. It appeared all of the sudden last night when I noticed it while I was in the shower. It looked like a swollen pimple almost so i proceeded to try to pop it (probably a bad idea) there is now an indention not unlike a hair follicle has been dug out. There was a decent amount of blood that came out of the surrounding area (most likely because I scratched it while trying to "pop" whatever is causing the lump. Its been a day since that and I checked on it again shortly before writing this. There is still a lot of welling in the area and I put some topical antibiotic on it (neosporin) just now to avoid it becoming infected. I would like to know if this is something I can just ride out with the proper care, or if I need to go to a doctor.
View 1 RepliesI have a concern and not sure if i am at risk of hiv transmission through oral sex. I receive oral sex from a massage worker for around 10 mins and ejaculated outside her mouth. One thing to mention that i have 2 months old penile psoriasis on the head of my penis. Can some expert assess my risk?
View 10 RepliesI got diagnosed w/ HSV1 about a week ago. I slept with a girl about a month back who i didn't know very well, and I'm sure she passed the virus to me.
In any case, I masturbated about two weeks ago and noticed a significant bump on my penile shaft the morning after. It was hard, red, and noticeable. However, it DID NOT blister, and actually got significantly smaller each day before disappearing completely within 72 hours.
I masturbated again two days ago, and again the bump appeared. Obviously, I'm nervous this is HSV1. I've scheduled an appointment with a dermatologist, but that's two weeks down the road. As such, I'm in desperate need of peace of mind. Below are photos of the bump. The first is from the first day, the second is from the day after.
I know diagnosing something online is difficult. But can this be a herpe sore if it goes away so fast AND doesn't blister? It should also be known that the sore doesnt really hurt. It feels like a tiny pinch, but I can rub my finger on it without experiencing pain.
I'm 48 and would like feedback on the TURP surgery...
I've had issues with my prostate over the past 2 years. Last October it was 3.9 cm x 4.9 cm. An now its measured at 5.9 cm x 5.7 cm during the past year I've noticed I was getting 5-8 times a night and during the having to rush to the restroom with no time spare, in the past 4 months I've had to force my urine out. Called doc he ordered urodynamics test, it showed that my bladder has no reaction when I'm full of urine. Doc said MY prostate is so large it's shutting off my urethra tube. So he said I need the TURP surgery. .
I'm so unsure about this because I've had penile implant surgery this past Jan. and if I have the TURP I'll lose my ejaculation...
I also would like to know how to do all with not being able to cum?

View 1 RepliesI'm a 24 year old guy. Not a virgin (not sure if relevant) and I have a white lump / or white clot along the lines of my penile raphe. I've had it since I was a teen and I've noticed that it's getting bigger over the years. I'm worried and fear that it might endanger my health in the future.
View 1 RepliesI started taking Norvasc (amlodipine) six months ago because my blood pressure was too high. I didn’t really have any visible problems that I could thought of were caused by high blood pressure, but it remained high even after I started watching my sodium intake and following the DASH diet. Since I’m 52 my doctor wanted to be on the safe side and prescribed me Norvasc.
Ever since I started taking this medication I’ve started having problems and now it seems as though I’m going through erectile dysfunction because of it. I haven’t been able to maintain an erection in over a month, but my doctor doesn’t really seem to be worried about that, telling me I still need to lower my blood pressure.
I’m male, 42 years old and I’ve been having genetic problem with high levels of bad, LDL high cholesterol, in ranges between 250-270 over period of two years. The first statin medication I was prescribed was Crestor. It took me almost a year to convince my doctor that muscle and joint pain I’m experiencing because of Crestor are ruining my life completely.
So he took me off statins for a short period, just three months, and together with dietary changes, my LDL cholesterol levels were around 250. I was having a completely normal and healthy sex life. Then my doctor decided my levels are still too high and that I need another statin - Zocor (simvastatin) and for the past six months I’ve been on Zocor, I’ve been having extreme erectile dysfunction.
I had a recent problem with my sexual life. I have always masturbated at least everyday of my life, and then I met this girl 2 months ago. We had great sex for over a month, and I see to it that she will be satisfied. I even force myself to come three times, although I can feel some extreme exhaustion on my part.
Then one night I masturbated, and I can feel a total drain of my energy. The next morning, I found out that would be the last night that I would masturbate. Now, I cannot feel any urge for sex, and my penis wont feel anything. It has been two weeks now that I cannot have an erection, like it is dead.
The anxiety and depression is killing me.
They advise that to do a reboot for a few months would help but I cant help to worry everyday. Because of this it has affected my outlook in llife.
I would blame it on my excessive masturbation.
Here's what has been bugging me for a while. Namely, Im having occasional impotence problems and low sex drive. I also put on a few extra pounds which is also quite a turn off. I want to take up exercising in order to reduce my weight, and since I like cycling, I'm thinking about starting with it but the problem is that I don't know whether it can have some bad effect on my impotence. Any ideas?

View 1 RepliesMy boyfriend and I have been together for 8 months now. The sex (when it happens) is amazing! However, let me backtrack a bit....Around the same time we got together, he also got a really important promotion at work, adding a ton of additional stress onto his already stressful job. We share an incredible chemistry but sometimes, when it comes down to intercourse, there is either a lack of erection or an erection that isn't cohesive to lovemaking:( This isn't every time! But the times it happens, I can't help but feel like its me. He says its not me, but its only human nature for me to think it is. I would totally marry this man and start a family! But....what if this is what lies ahead for us? Is this worth ending a relationship? Is there a solution other than quitting his job?
View 1 RepliesI am a 71 year old male. About 14 years ago, I had a high rating on a PSA test, which lead to a twelve needle biopsy. The results were rated as a Gleason 8 tumor. My urologist said the type of prostate cancer I had was very aggressive and that we needed to take some action. At that time, I was told my options were radiation and/or surgery. Prostate cancer had occurred in both of my Grandfathers. My father had not come back from WWII so I had no information on him. However, I had done some research into what I would do if prostate cancer visited me. I opted for a radical prostatectomy. Both my urologist and the pathologist believed that the surgery got all the cancer, and saw no value in radiation. As it turned out, I have never had much of anything to speak of on any subsequent PSA tests. Oh joy and rapture. I am alive, and doing well with one exception. Prior to the cancer diagnosis, my wife and I had a very active sex life. We had been married for over 25 years and had engaged in some form of sex on an average of twenty or so times a month. When my wife learned of my cancer, she asked for a divorce. Following the surgery, I was impotent and of course could no longer ejaculate. On the advice of a crusty older nurse, God Bless her, I learned that I could masturbate to a sort of semi erection and achieve an orgasm. However I entered a period of depression and when I finally found my way out of it, I could no longer achieve an orgasm. Following a discussion with my urologist, I tried some injections directly into the penis that was supposed to result in an erection, but it was not satisfactory, and the whole idea of sticking a needle into my penis was not very appealing. My doctor then recommended an Osbon penis pump which cost a couple of hundred dollars. When I tried the pump, it sucked my scrotum into the pump cylinder and slammed a testicle into the pump cylinder. It hurt so bad I threw up. The pricey Osbon pump ended up in the garbage. So here I am. My libido has always been very high and seems to be getting higher as I age. I am still very attracted to women and, have no interest in a sexual relationship with men. I don't really care for the company of men all that much and never have. Between the internet and satellite TV, I am bombarded with pornography. While I do watch a fair amount of porn and sexually explicit shows on TV, it does nothing to assuage my libido. I hate sleeping alone, and I hate the notion of nothing but platonic relationships with women. Over the years I learned how to do a satisfactory job of performing oral sex, however, even the ladies of my age still want sexual intercourse in their lives and to be honest, I would not be interested in a women who did not want sex. I have been so lonely for female sexual companionship that I have met with several prostitutes, and it is nice to be able to touch and talk with an attractive nude woman, but then I have to go back to my empty lonely place. Is there any way that I could reestablish the ability to have orgasms? Does anyone have an ideas or information as to how I could achieve an erection and failing that, how do I shutdown my libido?
View 3 RepliesI have a serious issue of impotence that i have been suffering from for quite some time now. From what i remember it started sometime around the age of 16 right after a bad car accident i was involved which shattered both my ankles & left me bedridden for about 6 months & i am now 22. I've been to a couple urologists but every doctor seems to think i have typical ED & prescribed me cialis. Even that doesn't help at all with having any type of successful intercourse. This problem has really taken a toll on my life & having any type of relationship. Even during masterbation it takes quite some time to obtain an erection. I honestly feel like i have absolutely no sex drive at all. In my younger years i had no problems at all obtaining an erection even with a simple hug but now i get as close to penetration & can barely even get an erection. I've read some threads on here that say it may be phycological more than physical. Which now im considering going to see a psychologist but i would like to see if anyone would be able to give me some more insight as to what may be going wrong.
