Medical Issues and Your Sex Life
Medical Issues and Sex
By Vicki Salemi
Forgetfulness, inattentiveness, lack of interest, difficulty completing tasks, and impulsivity can all wreak havoc on relationships. And they're all hallmarks of various medical issues. Although various mental and physical ailments may interfere with relationships, there are short and long-term solutions.
ADHD
When it comes to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, forgetfulness, impulsivity and distractibility may hinder a relationship. "By driving your partner bonkers, it causes conflict and you can't stay focused or get things done," says Philip Lanzisera, Ph.D. For the short-term he says it's important for patients and their partner to understand the things they can control and things they can't. For instance, use a day planner to develop consistent routines, even sex. Longer term solutions include a combination of behavior modification, lifestyle changes, counseling and possibly medications.

I am one of those who have the symptoms and the sex is not working fully; mine was brought on by high blood pressure and stress; have to have catherization (Monday) and doc said that should help quite a bit as blood flow is most important; the thought is always there but the machine is a little slow; thankful for my wife whom I desire every day. Its like any machine as it gets older things jappen you just have to take care of them and move on as for billwbajr va hosp is not the only way to go unless you do not have reg health ins. I am lucky I guess we have great H.C.

NurseKathleen77 types in all CAPS. That pretty much says it all. Go to any Wal-Mart parking lot and witness the average American woman. The amount of body fat is equaled only by the amount of self importance these creatures exhibit. The social contract between men and women in this country is too uneven. Men have no rights due to the government involving itself in domestic issues. Men also have no privledges either due to Oprah telling the average (ie FAT) American woman that she is put upon. Remember this ladies: Oprah has a low IQ and was molested several times as a youth..

Hey NurseKathleen77... Way to turn your problem back around on men. Enjoy the pathetic sex life you subject your husband to.

Who cares if your parts aren't working like they should (men or women.) You still have hands, you have a mouth, you've even got porn and erotic poetry and dirty talk. Go at it and have fun anyway. Does it really HAVE to end in an orgasm? Think of it as a sexy, intimate massage. It's better than turning your backs on each other when you get into bed.

I have all the problems that are listed in that headline, but i have never had a bad sexual relationship. I mean these stories are never totally accurate.

What can you do about ED? **** *** only goes so far eventualy she will wisper in your ear and tell you that she wants you and when it fails to get up. I feel like getting a gun and just putting my self out of my missory. I made an apointment to the Dr. But the damned VA hostital ( nothing the best for our veterns) can't see me for another month by that time she wiill be long gone. GOOD GRIEF

I THINK IT IS A LITTLE DISTURBING THAT MOST OF THESE ARTICLES IMPLICATE WOMEN AS THE "PROBLEM" IN THE RELATIONSHIP. I THINK THAT THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM IS THAT MEN DO NOT WANT TO WORK HARD WHEN THERE IS A TEMPORARY BUMP IN THE ROAD.
