Erectile
Dysfunction Clinic
This
is a Urology Nurse Specialist run service which
provides assessment, support and treatment to
men with Erectile Dysfunction. Treatment options
are discussed, preferably with the active involvement
of the partner.
Referrals
are taken directly from GPs and also from other
hospital departments, the Community Diabetic Nurse
Specialist and the Psychosexual Counselling Service.
The
aims of the clinic are:
- To
re-establish patient and partner satisfaction
with sexual activity and function
- To
provide ongoing support to the patient, whether
treated or not, and to promote health education,
information and training
- To
recognise and refer those patients who require
further investigation or specialist management,
either by a Urologist or by the Psychosexual
Counselling Service.

Is it just me or do other people feel that medical staff, in general, are not quite what they used to be? Nowadays, there would appear to be a lot more people in charge of departments and other administrative roles who have absolutely no official medical training whatsoever. Their skills would be more in-keeping with a commercial business. Yet they are in charge of making important decisions on what should go on in hospitals. Several decades ago, there was no call for so many managerial and administrative staff and the medical institutions did not seem to be any worse off for it. After all, MRSA and other super bugs have only really materialised in the last 15 years or so, so hygiene definitely hasn't improved as a result of these newly created posts. In fact, if we are talking about what is healthy and in any person's best interests, it seems that our hospital system quite simply is not working. Management have lost insight into the real job at hand which is to create specialist departments with fully trained cardiologist nurses in heart attack units, and professional andrologist and urologists for prescribing Levitra tablets for male health care following prostate cancer operations. There are a definite percentage of staff that really do feel that they possess the same amount of power as a Greek God. When they hold so much power in their hands, it can come across as being one big game to them, as they make decisions that are likely to affect people's lives to a huge extent. (more...)
According to a recent report, erectile dysfunction (ED) affects nearly half of the men in the UK between the age of 40 and 70. While stress and depression can cause this condition, more than eighty per cent of cases are due to some physical cause. If you have somehow missed the ubiquitous ads on the TV, erectile dysfunction is a chronic condition that consistently prevents men from achieving a sufficient erection.
Of course, most men do experience episodes of impotence from time to time, but when the problem continues for weeks or months on end, it is likely that the patient is suffering from erectile dysfunction. What are the most common causes?
The most common cause of ED is reduced blood flow to the penis . Just as in other parts of the body, there are major arteries and blood vessels that deliver blood to the male organ, which naturally increases when he becomes excited or sexually aroused. But if these arteries have narrowed or have been otherwise affected, the man will not be able to rise to the occasion. Cialis Tadalafil bought online on a private prescription or obtained following a consultation with your GP is a type of medication classed as being a vasolidator. Vasolidators relax the blood vessels to improve blood flow.
What prevents natural blood flow to the penis? Well, sometimes it is inevitable. What we mean is that often a man will experience bouts of impotence with increased frequency as he grows older. However, there are a few related conditions and behaviours that are known to increase the risks of erectile dysfunction. The most common ones are high blood pressure, cholesterol and diabetes.
We also know that certain behaviours or addictions may affect your performance in the bedroom. The two most obvious ones are alcohol abuse and smoking. Since both behaviours increase cholesterol and tend to harden the arteries, they may also affect the arteries down there.
When a man cannot achieve an erection, we call that impotence. But when a bloke consistently has problems in the bedroom, the doctors have invented a special term for the condition. They call it erectile dysfunction (ED) and it affects nearly half of the men in the UK between the age of 40 and 70. Though physical causes like decreased blood flow to the penis are far more common, ED can also develop as a result of psychological causes. What are they? A man who is suffering from depression, anxiety or general stress may suddenly experience the condition even if he has never had any problems in the past. In fact, Sex problems in busy people account for about twenty per cent of the cases of ED. Often they are the result of trouble at work or problems in relationships. When a relationship is the root cause, a few bouts of impotence can easily turn into a fully-fledged case of ED because the man may then feel sexually inadequate, which adds pressure and causes anxiety. This will likely exacerbate the condition. (more...)
Our bodies are a complex organism that is comprised of many different functions. As soon as one of our primary functions becomes damaged or infected, it can drastically alter our way of life. One such infection that is incredibly painful and hard to get rid of is a urinary tract infection (UTI). A urinary infection is basically an infection in the urine tract, which is the passage that carries the urine and other waste materials out of our bodies. We use our urinary tract numerous times throughout the day so any interruption or discomfort to it can be disastrous. Thankfully UTI is treatable with certain medications, but some cases, in particular the more extreme cases can be very painful and harder to get rid of. Antibiotics are the easiest and most common way to get rid of a urinary tract infection, but in some cases more powerful measures need to be taken. (more...)
As our bodies age, things eventually wear down and do not work as well as they used to. Some people are born with birth defects or may contract a disease later on in life that may hinder one of their internal organs. One organ in particular that is very vulnerable, yet crucial to our survival is our kidneys. A kidney transplant is fairly common in today’s society as long as the donor matches the person who needs the transplant. A family member is usually a prime donor in most cases since they often have the same blood type. A kidney failure, or in scientific terms a renal failure, is when one or both of the kidneys fails to do its bodily functions. Our kidneys are responsible for producing urine which gets rid of all the waste in our bodies. If our kidneys are not producing urine then eventually our bodies become infected, which can ultimately lead to death if not treated. (more...)
As we get older, certain body parts do not perform as well as they used to. One body part in particular is the male sexual organ, the penis. When men get older, they sometimes lack sex drive which in turn can lead to erectile dysfunction and other sexual problems. Advances in technology have allowed men to turn back the clock and return to their younger years in terms of sexual appetite. There are many available cura farmacologica per impotenza in Italia , but by far the most popular is Viagra.
This simple blue pill helps to stimulate blood flow into the penis; increasing erection time and helping aid sexual intercourse. Viagra is not meant for everyone which is why there are other treatment options available. (more...)
Our body slowly breaks down as we get older. For some men it happens earlier than others, but at some point we will not be able to do the things we used to. For instance a football player will not be able to perform as well in his 50s as he did in his 30s. This is not a degenerative condition, it is simply age catching up on us. One condition that many men suffer when they get older is dysfonction érectile permanente qui se traite avec médicaments sur ordonnance . These can be very troubling problems for both the male and his sexual partner. The inability to get an erection, or the inability for the erection to last long enough to complete sexual intercourse is both embarrassing and frustrating to the individual that has the condition.
