Sexual health COVID risks in men

Unfortunately, more and more people around the world get COVID. But right now I would like to talk not about the virus itself, but about its complications. In particular, let us learn more about sexual health COVID risks in men. So, we will focus on those consequences that can affect specifically men’s health and the ability to have sex as before. Of course, I will mention other potential risks, too.

Complications in those who have had COVID that can affect men’s health

Although the virus itself is a rather unpleasant and sometimes fatal illness, sexual health COVID risks for men make the situation even worse. Obviously, no one wants deprive the ordinary joys of life, including sex.

So, here’s what research has shown men can expect after recovery:

  • According to one recent discovery, some men risk becoming infertile. Of course, you can search for a proper cure. But better not get sick at all.
  • Several other studies have shown that men who have had COVID may have difficulty getting or keeping erections. Causes might include general weakness after illness and probable vascular problems. If this happens, better see a doctor and find the right means for the treatment of erectile dysfunction.

List of other common complications

In fact, other complications, although not included in the sexual health COVID risks in men, may be very dangerous (both for men and women).

The most common complications include:

  • pneumonia (very common)
  • acute respiratory distress syndrome
  • respiratory failure (common)
  • acute lower respiratory tract infection
  • pneumothorax
  • acute myocarditis (rare)
  • blood clotting disorder and other hematological disorders
  • acute renal failure (quite often, especially in patients predisposed to it)
  • violation of smell and taste (almost always)
  • sepsis

Fortunately, recent studies have shown that having the COVID does not increase your risk of stroke.

What to do to avoid complications and sexual health COVID risks?

Certainly, the easiest way is to trust the standard methods of prevention and try to avoid the disease itself. In particular, keep your distance, wash your hands as often as possible, and maintain a healthy lifestyle. As soon as the opportunity arises, get vaccinated – this will prevent you from getting sick, or at least make the disease milder.

My battle with impotence

Today, I would like to share my personal experience of a battle with impotence. I know that many doctors prefer not to talk about their own health problems. However, we suffer from the same diseases as everyone else. Therefore, I have decided to speak of my experience of treating erectile dysfunction with the visitors of this website.

How does a doctor’s battle with impotence differ from others’?

Theoretically, in my case, everything should be simpler. In particular, I know how to eat properly, I maintain a healthy lifestyle, I undergo medical exams regularly, and so on. Still, even a doctor’s lifestyle may not be perfect. Furthermore, no one is immune from harmful external influences or genetic pathologies. Anyway, I also suffer from mild erectile dysfunction.

My battle with impotence

Personally, my impotence might be caused by bad habits and psychological problems. I constantly undergo preventive examinations with colleagues and pass all kinds of tests, so I know that everything else goes fine. However, regular problems in bed make my life worse.

What I do to improve my sex life?

Of course, there are pros and cons in my battle with impotence. On the one hand, I have the necessary knowledge and the ability to ask colleagues to help me anytime. At the same time, I can’t give up bad habits and deal with stress. Because of the stress and depression, especially this year, the problems have gotten worse. Due to the same stress in a pandemic I do not stop smoking, even after seeing severe patients.

However, my situation is much better than for most men. And here are my so-called secrets:

  • I understand the gravity of my situation, so I try to smoke and drink less to enjoy sex.
  • Also, I’m looking for every opportunity to calm down. For example, this year I started doing yoga.
  • I regularly undergo health checks on the most important organs for men: heart, prostate, blood vessels.
  • When I notice that things get really bad (that is, I have not been able to have full sex more than three times in a row), I take the pills at the dosage suitable for me.

As you can imagine, any man can do the same. Good luck!
