  • Hypersexuality in Neurological Disorders
    HYPERSEXUALITY IN NEUROLOGICAL DISORDERS NATALIE AHMAD MAHMOUD TAYIM A thesis submitted to the Institute of Neurology in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) University College London January 2019 Declaration of originality I, Natalie Ahmad Mahmoud Tayim, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. _________________________________ Natalie Ahmad Mahmoud Tayim ii Abstract The issue of hypersexuality in neurological disorders is grossly underreported. More research has been done into sexual dysfunction (outside of hypersexuality) in neurological disorders such as erectile dysfunction and hyposexuality (loss of libido). Furthermore, in Parkinson’s disease research, most mention of hypersexuality has been in conjunction with other impulse control disorders and has therefore not been examined in depth on its own. Although in recent years hypersexuality has become more recognized as an issue in research, there is still very limited information regarding its manifestations, impact, and correlates. It is therefore important to explore this area in detail in order to broaden understanding associated with this sensitive issue. Perhaps in doing so, barriers will be broken and the issue will become more easily discussed and, eventually, more systematically assessed and better managed. This thesis aims to serve as an exploratory paper examining prevalence, clinical phenomenology, impact, and potential feasible psychological interventions for hypersexuality in patients with neurological disorders and their carers. The thesis is divided into three main studies: 1. Study I: systematic review assessing prevalence, clinical phenomenology, successful treatment modalities, implicated factors contributing to the development, and assessment tools for hypersexuality in specific neurological disorders.

SEXUAL DISORDERS AND GENDER-IDENTITY DISORDER A. Sexual behavior is a major focus of both our private thoughts and public discussions B. Experts recognize two general categories of sexual disorders: 1. Sexual dysfunctions—problems with sexual responses 2. Paraphilias—repeated and intense sexual urges and fantasies to socially inappropri- ate objects or situations C. In addition to the sexual disorders, DSM includes a diagnosis called gender identity dis- order, a sex-related pattern in which people feel that they have been assigned to the wrong sex D. Relatively little is known about racial and other cultural differences in sexuality 1. Sex therapists and sex researchers have only recently begun to attend systematically to the importance of culture and race II. SEXUAL DYSFUNCTIONS A. Sexual dysfunctions are disorders in which people cannot respond normally in key areas of sexual functioning 1. As many as 31 percent of men and 43 percent of women in the United States suffer from such a dysfunction during their lives 2. Sexual dysfunctions typically are very distressing and often lead to sexual frustra- tion, guilt, loss of self-esteem, and interpersonal problems 3.

Cardona Maya . 1, 2, 4 ISSN: 2395-7565 Reproduction Group, Department of Microbiology and Parasitology, School of Medicine, University of Antioquia, © 2020, All rights reserved Medellín, Colombia. 3 www.medicinearticle.com CES University, Departament of Urology, Medellín, Colombia Received: 06-08-2020 Accepted: 19-09-2020 Abstract Prostatitis and premature ejaculation are urological problems that impact sexual and reproductive health in males frequently. The aim of this narrative review is to provide an overview of the relationship between premature ejaculation and prostatitis. A narrative review literature was performed in the PubMed and SCOPUS databases. The most relevant aspects of the etiology of premature ejaculation were detailed, and the causal relationship between prostatitis and premature ejaculation was explored. Treatment should consider the pathophysiology and diagnosis; this is a significant challenge for the urologist. A total of 45 original articles were compiled in a table within the main findings. Both alterations are associated with a decrease in the quality of life and have a negative impact on the couple's relationship. The timely treatment offers improvement or complete recovery for the patients. Keywords: Prostatitis, Premature ejaculation, Chronic pelvic pain syndrome, Fertility. INTRODUCTION Prostatitis and premature ejaculation (PE) are highly frequent genitourinary problems that negatively affect the quality of life of men and their partners, causing anxiety, sexual dysfunction, and even fertility problems [1].

Abstract The role of personality traits in sexual complaints and dysfunctions is ever more evident. However, the literature is very scarce as to the possible relationships between such personality traits and specific sexual dysfunctions like ED, PE or both, their subtypes as to time of onset and severity levels. The main aim of the present study was to investigate if Neuroticism and Extraversion have different roles and trends in men suffering from PE and/or ED, both lifelong and acquired. Moreover, we verified if, by adopting DSM-IV-TR and DSM-5 criteria for diagnosing PE, some differences emerged in percentages of diagnosed cases.

    GUIDELINES ON MALE SEXUAL DYSFUNCTION: Erectile Dysfunction and Premature Ejaculation (Text update April 2014) K. Hatzimouratidis (chair), I. Eardley, F. Giuliano, D. Hatzichristou, I. Moncada, A. Salonia, Y. Vardi, E. Wespes Eur Urol 2006 May;49(5):806-15 Eur Urol 2010 May;57(5):804-14 Eur Urol 2012 Sep;62(3):543-52 ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION Definition, epidemiology and risk factors Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the persistent inability to attain and maintain an erection sufficient to permit satisfactory sex- ual performance. Although ED is a benign disorder, it affects physical and psychosocial health and has a significant impact on the quality of life (QoL) of sufferers and their partners. There is increasing evidence that ED can be an early mani- festation of coronary artery and peripheral vascular disease; thus, ED should not be regarded only as a QoL issue but also as a potential warning sign of cardiovascular disease includ- ing lack of exercise, obesity, smoking, hypercholesterolaemia, and the metabolic syndrome. The risk of ED may be reduced by modifying these risk factors, particularly taking exercise or losing weight. Another risk factor for ED is radical prostatec- tomy (RP) in any form (open, laparoscopic, or robotic) because of the risk of cavernosal nerve injury, poor oxygenation of the corpora cavernosa, and vascular insufficiency. 130 Male Sexual Dysfunction Diagnosis and work-up Basic work-up The basic work-up (minimal diagnostic evaluation) outlined in Fig. 1 must be performed in every patient with ED. Due to the potential cardiac risks associated with sexual activity, the three Princeton Consensus Conference stratified patients with ED wanting to initiate, or resume, sexual activity into three risk categories.

Erectile dysfunction is the most frequent sexual problem, with a prevalence of 30–50% even in men <40 years of age, but other issues such as loss of libido and ejaculatory disorders should not be overlooked. Peculiar factors related to HIV infection (e.g., fear of virus transmission, changes in body image, HIV-related comorbidities, HIV distress and stigma), alongside classical factors non-related to HIV, should be considered when approaching sexual problems in HIV patients. For this reason, the diagnostic and therapeutic workout of sexual dysfunction in the context of HIV requires a multidisciplinary approach, involving specialists in both infectious diseases and sexual medicine. This narrative review presents an overview of current knowledge on sexual dysfunction in HIV men, deepening the factors driving and taking part in these issues, providing advice for the clinical approach, and underlining the importance of caring for sexual health to improve the quality of life of HIV patients.

  • A Man's Guide to Overcoming Premature Ejaculation
    A man’s guide to overcoming Premature Ejaculation Premature ejaculation affects up to 30% of men at some time in their lives yet remains an embarrassing condition which men are uncomfortable talking about. Our guide to premature ejaculation will give you the lowdown on what causes the condition, the impact it can have and advice on a variety of treatments. THE CAUSES of Premature Ejaculation How the condition can occur Premature ejaculation is a common male medical condition yet the precise causes are still not fully understood. Despite its prevalence among men, the subject is largely taboo but failure to talk about or confront the issue often serves to exacerbate the problem for sufferers. Defining what exactly constitutes premature ejaculation can be difficult as different men come at different times – but if it’s a serious concern for both partners then that’s a good working definition of premature ejaculation. This guide talks through the types, causes and impact of premature ejaculation, separates the facts from the fiction, and finally offers advice on the variety of treatments available to help sufferers manage the condition. Let’s start by looking at the two broad types of premature ejaculation: Primary/Lifelong Premature Ejaculation This is where a man has suffered from premature ejaculation since becoming sexually active. It occurs from the first sexual encounter and continues throughout life, and can be attributed to physical or psychological factors or may be hereditary. Primary premature ejaculation is often triggered by psychological impulses, such as conditioning, upbringing, or a traumatic sexual experience. www.doctorfox.co.uk Secondary/Acquired Premature Ejaculation This is when a man goes years without suffering any ejaculation problems but then either gradually or suddenly begins to experience premature ejaculation.
