Ask Ayurvedic (Sexologist) Sex Specialist Doctor…Why Ayurveda ?
Why Ayurveda could Be the Answer to Male Sexual Problems
Ayurveda has been there for probably as long as males and females have been there. Ans sexual problems are nothing new to Ayurveda as to men and women; men more so. However, in the present state of the planet as it is, stress and unhealthy lifestyle has spiked make sexual problems mich more than one could have imagined. The result is the loss of performance, decreased virility, loss of interest in sex, to name onlt a few.
To much disappointment, sexual problems in India are often kept a secret, fearing the scorn of a society that should in fact be proud of texts like Vatsayana’s Kamasutra. Nevertheless, male sexual problems exist and wreck many a family.
Despite the shame that is uselessly attaxched to such conditions, many men do seek consultation and treatment from sex specialist doctors in India and do find it effective. But, the larger question is that if Ayurveda does have an important role to play in treating male sexual problems.
To find out, we must first come to terms with that fact that premature ejaculation is not the only sexual problem that men encounter. There are many and we must at least discuss them if brief before heading on to the role of Ayurveda.
Most Common Types of Male Sexual Problems
Premature Ejaculation This one is by far the most common problem in men. It is the inability to copulate for a satisfactory span of time resulting in sexual dissatisfaction (to both) The duration of intimacy is cut short drastically and neither of the couple succeed in achieving a satisfactory orgasm.
Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile Dysfunction is also known as unsatisfactory erection. More often than not, it is purely psychological in nature. However, in some cases there could also be pathological or physical causes behind it. In this condition, the male is unable to get a satisfactory erection in order to perform the intercourse.
Low Libido Well, this one is perhaps even more common than premature ejaculation. Lack of libido or a driving sexual force is usually a result of a stressful lifestyle that is marked by fatigue, inadequate sleep, tension, erratic schedule, etc. It leads to lack of interest in sex, or worse off, the inability to perform even on stimulus from the partner. Low testosterone could also be the reason for low libido.
Low Sperm Count or Oligospermia An awful lot of couples who struggle to conceive are surprised to find that oligospermia or low sperm count is the culprit behind their inability to conceive despite their best efforts. Low sperm count not only leads to male infertility but also to low self-esteem and frustration.
Another related problem is low sperm motility rate. In this case, the sperm count is enough but the quality of the sperm isn’t great. The sperm is there but unable to gain motion and reach the ovaries to form an embryo.
Nightfall or Nocturnal Emissions or Permatorrhoea As the name suggests, it usually happens at night, or better put, during sleep. The semen is discharged involuntarily without ever having an orgasm. While being embarrassing, if it happens too often it may start causing psychosomatic symptoms lack of concentration, excessive sweating, giddiness, headaches, etc.
Age-related Sexual Weakness As makes grow older, the desire for sex in some men wears off rather quickly, leading to unsatisfactory sexual intimacy.
Impotency Contrary to what social belief may be, impotency is primarily a result of psychological pressures. It will not be incorrect to relate it directly anxiety from the pressure of sexual performance.
What Role does Ayurveda Play in the Treatment of Male Sexual Problems
Ayurveda has the precise texts that address the problem of male sexual problems. A few famed and proven Ayurvedic texts like Charaka Samhita, Sushruta Samhita, Yogaratnakara, discuss conditions like “shukragat vata” “sheegra patan” (Premature Ejaculation)
Ashtanga Ayurveda, to be precise, is very much about physical and sexual well-being of men. One of the 8 specialities of Ashtanga Ayurveda is Vrishya Chikitsa or Vajikarana. The subject talks at length about virility in men, aphrodisiacs and overall ways to improve the health of the coming generations as well, by, of course, maintaining one’s own. Charak Samhita suggests that these aphrodisiacs and formulations can result in robust health, strength, great physique and complexion, along with sexual vigour and potency.
By implication, the Charak Samhita also turns out to be helpful in treating sexual dysfunctions which include erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, low libido, male infertility, and in fact all of the conditions listed above.
Is Ayurveda Effective?
In the sense of providing immediate relief? No! But in the sense of treating the root cause and providing lasting relief? Certainly yes. Why?
The thing about Ayurveda is that it is holistic in its approach. So, along with formulations, it also emphasizes on following a healthy routine. So, there are medicinal as well as non-medicinal strategies that focus on diet, physical health as well as behaviour. These prescriptions are made keeping in mind one’s unique physical and mental behaviour. Medicines are administered as per the requirement and not as a standard norm.
So, when you go to a seasoned sexologist in India, you are likely to find treatment that is holistic. Medication is given to you after tracing all your physiological and behavioural traits. Recommendations are also made on the level that is non-medicinal; for example, the right diet to follow, foods and activities to avoid, habits that improve sexual health, etc.
All said and done, you must keep in mind that over-the-counter herbal/ayurvedic supplements/medications cannot replace professional advice and treatment from a sex specialist doctor in India or anywhere in the world. While ayurvedic treatment can be
very effective in treating various male sexual problems, having them without prescription can cause more trouble than relief.
