Sexual Side Effects of Drugs on Men
Sexual Health: A Journey to Discovery
By Doris Zale, RN
Impotence may not be what you think. It is not just a gerontological development. Is it just aging or is it the medicine? Maybe not!
Many commonly prescribed
medicines can cause impotence. Zale has researched the common drugs
and located the references on side effects so that if a medicine is
causing problems, you can point to the actual source for the doctor
to read. Then you can talk about other medicines. There are many
substitutes that may not cause the same conditions.
At last, a book in frank,
easy-to-understand language about the exigencies of a subject
ignored in the treatment of seniors: erectile dysfunction. The
subject has always been relegated to "Well, he is getting older" and
not to possible causes.
"It is imperative that we take action with our own health; we must be knowledgeable in the health problems that affect us personally. We must understand and seek better solutions.
We must learn how each treatment procedure affects us, and seek better solutions for those which produce a negative effect. Most of all, we must adapt our lifestyles to exclude those preventable risk
factors that result in chronic diseases."
- Doris Zale, RN.
Sexual Health, A Journey To
Recovery, by Doris Zale, RN, helps everyone understand that
"impotence" can be treated, especially when a person knows which
medications can actually help cause the problem: Amyl Nitrate,
Thorazine, Benadryl, and nitroglycerin can all have possible side
effects. Diabetes, renal failure and vascular disease are all
considered risk factors for erectile dysfunction.
Over 190 medications are listed
in 28 classifications (shown as easy-to-read tables). Age is also
discussed, but not as the absolute culprit as it has been treated
before. The chapter on "Age-related Changes" helps the reader to
discern what medications are used for what aging problems. The
chapter on "Choices" helps enlighten the reader on different
therapies. And of course, Viagra is given some space. Other
impotence etiologies (also known as ED,E.D. or erectile dysfunction)
such as aging, Nitrate, Thorazine, Benadryl, nitroglycerin,
diabetes, renal failure and vascular disease, are also examined.
Choices, assessment,
evaluation, confronting the loss-every pertinent topic is treated in
this remarkable book.
The glossary is a thorough
dictionary of medications, diseases and side-effects. The findings
of the National Institute of Health are clearly defined and
conclusive and help to argue the case that erectile dysfunction be
covered by health insurance benefits:
"The refusal by insurance
companies to include payment for Viagra and other treatments for
sexual dysfunction, and the jokes by the public and the media
regarding the use of these treatments for this dysfunction
demonstrate the importance of the subject. Erectile dysfunction is a
treatable health problem that deserves treatment just as any other
disorder."
Sexual Health, A Journey to
Recovery is an important book in a decade about the subject of
erectile dysfunction. And it should be read by young and old, men
and women alike. It is about the effects that ordinary drugs such as
glaucoma medicines can have on potency.
Male impotence, also known as
ED (E.D.) or erectile dysfunction, has long been taken for granted
as a by-product of old age. Yet with so many other medications
bombarding the elderly these days, isn't it possible that certain
forms of impotency are actually caused unnecessarily by those
medications?
