Men facing financial difficulty stand high risk of erectile dysfunction, say Urologists. They also have identified economic difficulty as one of the factors that could predispose men to risk of having premature ejaculation during sex. Premature ejaculation occurs when a man has an orgasm and ejaculates earlier during intercourse than he or his partner would like.
This comes in light of financial struggles which many Nigerians are going through currently. The urologists said this could not only affect their sexual performance; but could also worsen existing health conditions, making individuals more susceptible to premature ejaculation.
The experts say premature ejaculation is a common problem that affects 30 percent to 40 percent of men.
According to the specialists, the stress and anxiety triggered by financial struggles could significantly impact sexual performance.
Speaking in a recent media chats, the physicians explained that financial stress could lead to anxiety, depression, and poor lifestyle habits, all of which have been linked to premature ejaculation.
According to Africa Health Report checks conducted on a health website, Mayo Clinic, premature ejaculation occurs in men when semen leaves the body (ejaculates) sooner than wanted during sex.
While identifying early sexual experiences, sexual abuse, depression, and guilty feelings as some of the causes of premature ejaculation, the clinic added that erectile dysfunction, anxiety, and relationship problems are also some other factors responsible.
According to them, when men are under financial pressure, they often neglect their physical and mental health. This neglect, they noted, could manifest in various ways, including sexual dysfunction.
An urologist at the Federal Medical Centre, Abeokuta, Ogun State, Dr. Olaitan Adeyemi stated that economic hardship might lead to unhealthy coping mechanisms, such as excessive alcohol consumption or smoking.
These poor lifestyle habits, he stressed, might worsen other existing factors that could lead to premature ejaculation.
According to Adeyemi, premature ejaculation is a complex condition requiring a multifaceted approach.
He explained that medical factors, such as neurological disorders, hormonal imbalances, and prostate issues, could contribute to premature ejaculation.
He, however, noted that social factors, including stress, anxiety, and relationship dynamics, also play a significant role.
He stated that economic hardship could worsen premature ejaculation symptoms, adding that increased stress and anxiety affect men’s sexual performance.
“Financial struggles can lead to increased stress levels, which can negatively impact sexual performance. Economic instability can have far-reaching consequences on mental and physical well-being,” the specialist noted.
Another specialist, a Consultant Urologist, Dr. Taiwo Alabi, said healthy living and avoidance of smoking could help to improve a man’s sexual performance or libido.
He noted that the stop-start technique, which requires a man to stop sexual stimulation and return to it again after the sensation had passed, could likewise help to delay ejaculation.
Alabi said premature ejaculation happens when a man had an orgasm and releases semen within one minute of penetration, and is unable to control ejaculation during sexual intercourse.
While stressing that economic hardship could affect men of all ages and backgrounds, the physician said premature ejaculation was not exclusive to any particular demographic.
He, however, noted that men in lower socioeconomic brackets may be more vulnerable due to limited access to healthcare and increased stress levels. (With Agency Report)
