What Is Prostate Cancer?

Prostate cancer develops in a man's prostate, the walnut-sized gland just below the bladder that produces some of the fluid in semen.

1. Less Stress, Better Blood Pressure

Having sex could lower your stress and your blood pressure.
That finding comes from a Scottish study of 24 women and 22 men who kept records of their sexual activity. The researchers put them in stressful situations -- such as speaking in public and doing math out loud -- and checked their blood pressure.
People who'd had sex responded better to stress than those who engaged in other sexual behaviors or abstained.
Another study found that diastolic blood pressure (the bottom number of your blood pressure) tends to be lower in people who live together and have sex often.

How Can I Prevent Male Sexual Problems?

These suggestions may help you avoid sexual problems:

• Avoid problems with blood flow: Don't smoke; control your blood pressure, cholesterol level, and medical conditions such as diabetes.
• Avoid alcohol and recreational drugs that can lessen sexual desire or impair your performance.
• Discuss side effects of medications with your doctor or pharmacist in case an alternative with fewer sexual effects is available. Never change your medications without your doctor's approval and guidance.
• Exercise regularly, eat a healthy diet, and get enough sleep.

Relaxed, clear teaching to promote understanding of one's body and of sexual functioning, emphasizing the importance and normalcy of sexuality, is key to avoiding the guilt and fear that sometimes result in sexual dysfunction.

Sexual Problems in Men

A sexual problem, or sexual dysfunction, refers to a problem during any phase of the sexual response cycle that prevents the man or couple from experiencing satisfaction from the activity. The sexual response cycle has four phases: excitement, plateau, orgasm, and resolution.

While research suggests that sexual dysfunction is common (43% of women and 31% of men report some degree of difficulty), it is a topic that many people are hesitant to discuss. Fortunately, most cases of sexual dysfunction are treatable, so it is important to share your concerns with your partner and doctor.
