Erectile Dysfunction is a condition marked by the inability to achieve proper erections. It can be due to various factors including chronic diseases, lifestyle issues, and psychological factors. Dr Rana’s Medical Hall offers treatments that combine herbal medication and psychological counseling.
Premature ejaculation is a tormenting sexual disorder causing great havoc to the smooth sexual flow. In this disorder, during sexual intercourse, the male ejaculates way before he attains real orgasm or sexual fulfillment. The reasons behind Premature Ejaculation include chronic diseases, heart ailments, hormone imbalances, irregular levels of brain chemicals, swelling and infection of the prostate and urethra, Parkinson’s disease, Multiple Sclerosis, surgery-related problems, inherited traits, performance anxiety, stress, tension, obesity, smoking, alcoholism, sedentary lifestyle, lack of exercise, non-consumption of balanced food, and relationship issues.
Actually, the size of the penis has no direct influence on sexual interaction. Normally a penis of 5 inches size, when erected, is apt for hearty sexual interaction. The tragedy is that most people who are addicted to porn magazines and videos compare their penile sizes with those of porn stars and their exaggerated sexual performance. This often instigates a psychological problem, developing an inferiority complex and compelling the person to exhibit poor sex or abstinence from sex. However, some people with a penile size below 3 inches when erect or with penile shrinkage need to be treated clinically.
Sexually Transmitted Diseases or Venereal Diseases are life-harming diseases caused by unprotected sexual interaction with multiple or unknown partners, or with a partner who has STD. Main sexually transmitted diseases include Gonorrhea, Syphilis, Chlamydia, Trichomoniasis, HPV, HIV, and Genital Herpes, transmitted by bacteria, virus, and parasite. They cause skin burns, scratches, destroy the functions of genital tracts and internal organs, and can even cause arthritis. Engaging sexually with a single known partner and using latex condoms with an unknown partner are the best self-remedies. If contracted, clinical management and treatment, preferably herbal, are recommended.
Low libido or inhibition in sexual activities can affect women at different phases of their lives due to various reasons, including hereditary, chronic, menopause-related, hormonal, lifestyle, relationship, and psychological issues. Vaginal Dryness is another significant disorder that occurs due to factors like nearing menopause, chronic diseases, surgery-related problems, lifestyle issues, and relationship issues.

Many men and women feel anxious about having sex during periods because we have been culturally conditioned to believe that menstruation is something dirty. There are also many misconceptions about the medical aspects of sex during periods. Medically, it is normal to have sex during periods. The safe sex practices required to avoid pregnancy and STDs when a woman is not menstruating should also be used during periods.
Losing the sex drive can feel very depressing and can cause lots of problems in any relationship. Here are some practical tips on reviving your sex drive:
Is it ok to have sex during pregnancy? As long as your pregnancy is proceeding normally, you can have sex as often as you like. However, hormonal fluctuations, fatigue, and physical changes might affect your sexual desire.
Can sex during pregnancy cause a miscarriage? Most early miscarriages are related to chromosomal abnormalities. It’s generally advised to avoid sex during the first trimester and the last trimester to minimize risks.
Does sex during pregnancy harm the baby? Your baby is protected by amniotic fluid and the mucous plug in your cervix, so sex won’t harm the baby.
What are the best sexual positions during pregnancy? Most positions are safe, but it’s recommended to find those which are most comfortable for you, especially as your pregnancy progresses. Positions that avoid direct pressure on the abdomen, such as spooning, woman on top, or hands and knees, are often recommended.
What about oral and anal sex during pregnancy? Oral sex is safe during pregnancy but avoid allowing air to be blown into the vagina. Anal sex may be uncomfortable due to pregnancy-related hemorrhoids and can carry a risk of infection.
Should my partner use a condom? Using a condom can prevent the transmission of STDs, which is especially important during pregnancy to protect both you and the baby’s health.
Can orgasms trigger premature labor? Orgasms can cause uterine contractions, but these are not the same as labor contractions and generally do not increase the risk of premature labor in a normal pregnancy.
Are there times when sex should be avoided during pregnancy? Yes, avoid sex if there’s a risk of premature labor, unexplained vaginal bleeding, leaking amniotic fluid, cervical issues, placenta previa, or if there’s an active STD.
After the baby is born, how soon can I have sex? It’s generally recommended to wait four to six weeks after childbirth before resuming intercourse, to allow your body time to heal.
Occasional masturbation is normal in both males and females. You need not feel guilty or worried about engaging in it. But it is a cause for concern if you think you are obsessed with it and it is interfering with your routine activities. In such a case, it may be advisable for you to develop more control over yourself. Here are some practical tips that can help you overcome the habit of masturbation:
You can stop it: Tell yourself again and again that you can stop it. Look at it as a test of your willpower. Put a note on your wall saying something like “I am my own master”.
Male fertility depends on sperm quality and quantity, which can be affected by various factors. Here’s what you need to know to maximize fertility:
Safe sex is the practice of intercourse that prevents the direct contact and exchange of bodily fluids such as semen, vaginal fluid, breast milk, and saliva. This helps reduce the risk of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and pregnancy. Common methods for safe sex include:
These methods protect against pregnancy and STDs.
Struggling with sexual stimulation, drive, or misconceptions? Discover some stimulating facts about sex that might help reduce the latent phase of stimulation:
Stay tuned for more exciting facts and tips to enhance your sexual experience.
An orgasm (sexual climax) is the conclusion of the plateau phase of the sexual response cycle, experienced by both males and females. It involves quick cycles of muscle contraction in the lower pelvic muscles, surrounding the primary sexual organs and the anus.
“Anal orgasm” can be achieved through anal stimulation during anal sex, or with fingers or sex toys. This can be pleasurable for both men and women without clitoral stimulation.
A “breast orgasm” is triggered by the stimulation of a woman’s breast and nipples.
Some women can experience a second orgasm soon after the first without a refractory period, often finding subsequent climaxes to be stronger or more pleasurable. However, the clitoris and nipples may become very sensitive post-climax, making further stimulation painful for some.
Dry orgasm, characterized by an orgasm without the discharge of semen, can be caused by various factors. While typically not a health concern, it can affect fertility.
If you are experiencing concerns about dry orgasms or associated pain, it is advisable to consult a urologist for an evaluation. In cases where dry orgasm is due to retrograde ejaculation and infertility is an issue, sperm retrieval from urine post-orgasm may be a viable option for artificial insemination.
