Cancer and Sexual Dysfunction

With the emergence of advanced treatment modalities for cancer, the survival rate of cancer patients has increased, often leading to long term survival. Many types of cancer have gradually evolved from an acute to a chronic disease, and, with the population growing older, the number of cancer survivors in the population is constantly increasing.

The cancer as disease, the diagnosis, and the therapies, they all can have a negative effect on the quality of life on both the patient, the partner and also of other family members.

Sexual dysfunctions are identified among most cancer patients, particularly those with gynaecological and urological cancers.

Cancer survivors may experience sexual dysfunction as a consequence of the treatment also.

A set of healthy and properly functioning endocrine, circulatory, and nerve systems are mandatory for a well-functioning sexual response.

Many factors involving cancer and its treatment can cause damage to these systems with profound consequences for the sexual life of the patient and the couple.

The impact of those various elements of the cancer process tends to cause a decline in the patients’ level of functioning and on their ability to maintain intimacy and a healthy sex life with their partner.

Although sexual problems are common among cancer patients, very little professional and therapeutic attention is paid to that aspect of their life.

More so, the patients usually neither receive adequate information regarding the sexual difficulties they can develop through the cancer treatment strategies nor regarding possible treatments when sexual difficulties develop.

Sexual Functions in Alcohol-Dependent Males

1

Sexual dysfunction disorder has an impact on quality of life and well-being of both males and females. Etiology of sexual dysfunction is mainly multifactorial—some factors such as chronic diseases, unhealthy life style, ageing, and medical treatments may increase the severity of the problem.

Among unhealthy lifestyle habits, alcohol consumption and smoking are thought to be related with sexual dysfunction. It was reported that long-term and high amount of alcohol consumption cause sexual dysfunction in men. It has been found that addicted males experienced more sexual dysfunction than social drinkers. Alcohol addicts having erectile dysfunction engaged in sexual intercourse less frequently. Alcohol-addicted males smoking more than one package of cigarette a day had erectile dysfunction.

Chronic alcohol consumers experienced lack of sexual desire, 16% experienced erectile disorder, 4% experienced premature ejaculation, and 22% experienced retarded ejaculation problem.

Long-term and high amount of alcohol consumption causes testicular damage, reduced testosterone level, and deteriorated sperm formation. 6.5% of the males who frequently consumed alcohol (3 days a week) had erectile problems. It was also found out that the age of starting alcohol consumption was lower in the group with erectile dysfunction. The later the person starts drinking alcohol, the less erectile dysfunction he suffers from, the longer the period of alcohol consumption is, the more erectile dysfunction the person suffers from.

The deterioration of sexual function and interpersonal relationships related with alcohol consumption was produced in chronic alcohol consumption cases. It has been noticed that in lower economic conditions, lower education level and unemployment, sexual dysfunction in alcohol addicted males is related with starting alcohol consumption at an early age and long-term cigarette smoking.

In case there is erectile dysfunction, alcohol-dependent males can be made conscious of this issue through education and counseling services, and they can be instructed to contact to appropriate centers for help.

Excessive Porn Use

The development of Internet and streaming services has provided new, fast, and anonymous ways to access sexually explicit material (e.g. porn). Internet pornography use identified four factors—relationship, mood management, habitual use, and fantasy. Pornography use might be associated with sexual dissatisfaction, addiction, or compulsion,

unrealistic expectations, poor sexual decision making, and personal distress. Most consumers consider that their use of pornography has never been a problem and report positive sexual effects, including sexual entertainment, a richer sexual repertoire, stronger desire and arousal, and increased sexual knowledge.

Most of the predominantly male users have no problems with their SEM consumption, some men describe their behavior as a compulsive sexual behavior (CSB) characterized by excessive use, loss of control, and inability to decrease or stop the problematic behavior, resulting in considerable economically, physically, or emotionally negative consequences to self or others. Compulsive sexual behaviour (CSB) is characterized by repetitive and intense pre‑occupation with sexual thoughts, urges, and behaviours causing clinically significant distress or impairment in occupational, interpersonal, or social domains of functioning. It has also been called by other names such as sexual addiction, sexual compulsivity, and hypersexuality.

These men often describe themselves as “sex or porn addicts”. An important characteristic of sexual compulsivity is the difficulty to regulate sexual impulses despite negative consequences. CSB can be divided into paraphilic (un‑conventional sexual behaviors) and non‑paraphilic (conventional sexual behaviors) CSB.

As far as treatment of CSB is concerned, medications and psychotherapy are effective. Various medications can be prescribed including selective antidepressants, mood stabilizers, antipsycotics, and anti‑androgens.
