The best kind of doctor to see for male sex problems is a physician who specializes in male sexual health, aptly named a male health specialist. These doctors come from a variety of medical backgrounds and chose to specialize in male sexual health, such as erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation.

There is no specific age at which men start to experience sexual problems, although the chances of these problems occurring increase with age. Some men begin to experience sexual problems in their 40s and 50s, while others continue to have a healthy sex drive and sex life well into their 70s and 80s. Although increased age is linked with a decline in sexual performance, many other things can increase a man’s chances of experiencing sexual health problems, regardless of age. These include health conditions like:

– Diabetes
– Heart disease
– High blood pressure
– High cholesterol
– Depression

Male sexual health problems can also be related to lifestyle habits like not exercising regularly; being overweight can significantly impact the risk for ED. ED is a very real possibility for men of older age as many men reduce their activity levels and gain weight as they get older. Furthermore, drinking alcohol and tobacco use are both related to ED; those who drink in moderation and do not smoke are less likely to have erectile dysfunction compared to those who drink alcohol in excess and smoke regularly. Lastly, several common medications, such as certain antidepressants, opioid pain medications, and even some blood pressure drugs, can increase the likelihood of having ED.

Many men have sexual health problems that go undiagnosed and untreated. The most common sexual health problems for men are erectile dysfunction (ED), premature ejaculation (PE), low sexual desire, and difficulty reaching orgasm. Some of the causes of these sexual health problems include genetic predisposition, psychological issues, relationship issues, and lifestyle factors. In most cases, ED can be treated and is not a cause for concern. However, sometimes a man will experience ED symptoms for which there is no identifiable reason; ED may also be caused by a persistent problem that does not get better with time.

Erectile dysfunction can be diagnosed using a number of different methods. In most cases, the diagnostic process involves a physical exam, and the doctor may also order blood tests or urine tests (urinalysis). In some cases, the physician may also order imaging tests such as an ultrasound, to determine the presence of damaged blood vessels.
