I am a full time GP looking to develop a special interest in male sexual dysfunction (erectile dysfunction treatment, psychosexual counselling, etc). I cannot find a specific course and wondered about the best way of getting educated and accredited for independent practice

Male sexual dysfunction is common and may include hypoactive sexual desire disorders/lack of libido, premature ejaculation, decreased ability to climax or orgasm, erectile dysfunction, and/or Peyronie’s disease. There are a myriad of cognitive behavioral, integrative, and traditional medicinal treatment options available. Each treatment has pros and cons. Patient education prior to deciding on a treatment is key. Individual patients need to understand the good and bad of each treatment to make an informed decision about how they want to meet their sexual health goals. Traditional medical treatments were discussed in Chapter 4. The aim of this chapter is to describe other nonmedicinal, nonsurgical treatment options for male sexual dysfunction.

Pharmacotherapy of male sexual dysfunction(s) has developed similar to pharmacotherapy of depression. Some of the treatments for male sexual dysfunctions have been used based on old observations or myths (e.g., so called aphrodisiacs), some based on intuition (e.g. hormones for hypoactive sexual desire disorder), and some were discovered serendipitously (e.g., PDE-5 inhibitors). New, “me-too” PDE-5 inhibitors (e.g., avanafil, mirodenafil, udenafil) are being developed, similar to the development of new antidepressants. A rational approach to pharmacotherapy of hypoactive sexual desire disorder, male erectile disorder and premature ejaculation is being conceptualized (no pharmacotherapy for delayed orgasm is available at present). For instance, the approach to treatment of erectile dysfunction has been frequently staged into three levels (Level I: psychotherapy, oral preparations including hormones, vacuum erectile devices; Level II: intraurethral and intracorporeal application of various preparations; Level III: microsurgery, prosthesis). The management of pharmacotherapy failures, as well as combination of approaches to sexual dysfunctions, (e.g., PDE-5 and hormones for erectile dysfunction) have not been systematically studied. This presentation discusses a rational approach to staging pharmacotherapy of male sexual dysfunction and will also discuss potential combination of therapeutic modalities, especially for treatment resistant cases.

Any stimulus (intrinsic or extrinsic) that triggers a biological response is known as stress. Stress can exert various negative effects on the body ranging from alterations in homeostasis to life-threatening effects and death. Erectile dysfunction can be a manifestation of chronic stress. ED is the most common male sexual dysfunction that affects 10-25% of middle-aged and elderly men. ED may result from many etiologic factors like psychogenic, endocrino- logic, neurogenic, arteriogenic or venoocclusive dysfunction. These factors are not mutually exclusive and multi- ple factors contribute to ED in many patients. According to modern science Psychogenic factors frequently coex- ist with other etiologic factors and should be considered in all cases. A patient aged 35 years came to the OPD of A&U Tibbia college with complaints of inability to initiate and maintain erection along with abnormal vision, dizziness, retrosternal burning, indigestion, heaviness in chest and disinterest. He was advised for Shirodhara along with counselling (Satvvajaychikitsa) and after a couple of days, there was a significant improvement in pa- tient. In this case study, we are trying to highlight the contribution of stress & psyche on male sexual dysfunction and its management through Satvavajaychikitsa (counselling) and Shirodhara. Keywords: Erectile dysfunction, Satvavajaychikitsa, Shirodhara.
