On the 19th of November each year, the world observes Men’s day to recognize and celebrate  them and the positive value that they bring to the world. But a major goal of celebrating this occasion is spreading awareness about men’s leading health issues and overall well-being. 

Sexual dysfunctions are some of the most common health conditions that impact men of all ages. The main types include

  • Erectile dysfunction
  • Ejaculatory disorders
  • Low libido

Let us understand these sexual health issues in detail and discover how Ayurvedic medicines can help alleviate them safely and holistically.

Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is difficulty getting or maintaining a firm erection. It is the most common form of sexual dysfunction, affecting over 3-76.5% of men globally. Furthermore, it becomes increasingly prevalent with age. There can be various physiological and psychological causes for it. Because male sexual arousal is an elaborate bodily process involving the brain, emotions, hormones, nerves, blood vessels, and muscles.

A problem in any of these can cause ED. Mental health concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, relationship issues, etc., can worsen this issue. Often, it is a combination of an underlying disease that slows down sexual response and its resulting performance anxiety or stress.

Besides this, the common physical causes of ED include 

  • Diabetes
  • High blood pressure
  • High cholesterol levels
  • Clogged blood vessels
  • Obesity
  • Tobacco use, alcoholism, and other kinds of substance abuse
  • Sleep disorders
  • Nerve-related disorders
  • Low testosterone

ED can also be caused by side effects of various prescription medications, conventional treatments for prostate cancer, and injuries/surgeries that affect the spinal cord or the pelvic region.

Ejaculatory Disorders

Some men find that they ejaculate too quickly during sex. This is called premature ejaculation (PE). It affects close to 30-75% of men, especially the ones aged between 18 and 59 years. On the other hand, for some men, it takes an unusually long time to ejaculate or reach climax, despite having a typical erection. This is referred to as delayed ejaculation (DE) and is prevalent in over 1-4% of the male population.

Men might also experience painful ejaculation, anejaculation (inability to ejaculate), or retrograde ejaculation (when the semen goes backward into the bladder rather than coming out of the body).

The causes of these ejaculatory disorders can be both psychological and biological. 

Premature ejaculation can be caused by-

  • Early sexual experiences
  • Poor body image
  • Depression
  • Irregular hormone and brain chemical levels
  • Swelling/infection in the prostate or urethra
  • Genetic factors

Retrograde ejaculation happens when the muscle at the opening of the bladder doesn’t tighten properly. As a result, the semen enters the bladder instead of passing through the prostate and ejecting out of the body. This can happen due to conditions like nerve damage, surgeries, or side effects of certain medications.

The causes of delayed ejaculation, painful ejaculation, and anejaculation include

  • Side effects of medications like antidepressants, painkillers, anti-anxiety drugs, blood pressure medicines, etc., surgeries, and radiation therapy
  • Consumption of alcohol or recreational drugs
  • Hormonal changes
  • Prostatitis (inflammation/infection in the prostate) due to severe diabetes or a weakened immune system
  • Nerve damage due to spinal cord injury, surgery, stroke, multiple sclerosis, etc.
  • Psychological issues (depression, anxiety, and excess stress)

Low Libido

Low libido (sex drive) refers to decreased interest in sexual activity. It is common for sexual desire to fluctuate in men (and women) with hormonal changes, stress, and age. But low sex drive for a very long time can be concerning. 

Its most prominent cause is low levels of testosterone in the body. It is a male hormone vital for bone and muscle growth, sperm production, and healthy sexual function. As many as 35% of men over the age of 45 years suffer from this.

Its causes include testicular injury/infection, hormone disorders, chemotherapy/radiation treatments, and side effects of traditional prescription medications like painkillers, steroids, antidepressants, etc.

Besides that, low libido can occur due to various chronic illnesses that hamper sexual function, such as

  • Diabetes
  • Lung, heart, liver, and kidney diseases
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Hypertension
  • Cancer
  • Obstructive sleep apnea
  • Obesity
  • High cholesterol

Other factors include too little/too much exercise, aging, stress, depression, fatigue, poor self-esteem, alcoholism, drug abuse, restless leg syndrome, etc.

Can Vijaya Be Used For Improving Sexual Dysfunctions?

Here is a look at some studies assessing the connection between Vijaya and sexual function:

A study shows that the hemp plantcan help reduce the tissue buildup and damage associated with erectile dysfunction by activating the CB2 receptors in the penile tissue. It further helps reduce high cholesterol, a prominent risk factor for ED, by decreasing oxidative stress in the body.

 As per a 2020 study, CBD in Vijaya was effective in alleviating anxiety and its related disorders without any adverse side effects. 

Another study showed that consuming only 300-600mg of cannabis-based medicines significantly decreased anxiety symptoms among adults, which can help decrease performance anxiety.

study in Prague showed that Vijaya helped activate the brain regions responsible for sexual arousal. This makes the hemp plant beneficial for improving libido.

As per the study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, consuming the hemp plant led to higher sexual frequency among people.

Vijaya improved the overall sexual experience in over 69% of study participants. Besides making the experience more pleasurable, the herb increased the sex drive and satisfaction of orgasms in close to 61% and 53% of the patients, respectively.

In a 2019 Canadian study on consuming cannabis-based medicines, 58.9% of patients reported an increased sexual desire, 73.8% reported an increased sexual satisfaction, 74.3% reported a heightened sensitivity to touch, and over 65.7% reported a higher intensity of orgasms. Besides that, nearly 70% of patients said they could relax more during sex.

Leveraging Kameshwar Modaka for Sexual Health

Cannabis-based medicines like Kameshwar Modaka can be incredibly beneficial for alleviating sexual dysfunctions. This potent formulation leverages the vast therapeutic potential of Vijaya and combines it with numerous other Ayurvedic herbs for effective action on overall sexual function and well-being. It helps enhance muscle strength, stamina, endurance, vitality, and vigor.  

The reason why Kameshwar Modakacan be an effective medication for sexual health concerns is the incredible efficacy of Vijaya in alleviating them. Research shows a strong link between the body’s ECS (endocannabinoid system) and sexual processes. The system regulates vital bodily processes, including pleasure, relaxation, and homeostasis (balance). 

The cannabinoid receptors of the ECS (CB1 and CB2) are important modulators of sexual function. When patients consume cannabis-based medicines, the cannabinoids found in the hemp plant, prominently THC and CBD, activate these cannabinoid receptors in the reproductive organs. These activated receptors help the ECS resolve sexual dysfunctions and leave the patients with increased sexual pleasure.

Consuming Ayurvedic medicines like Kameshwar Modaka in low doses can help stimulate sexual desire, increase arousal, and boost men’s overall performance without adversely impacting the system. Because the concoction’s herbal composition makes it easily tolerable and safe for consumption.

It is important to note that these effective aphrodisiac properties of Vijaya only occur with low to moderate doses. Consuming the herb in very high doses or abusing it can severely affect the system. To fully benefit from potent cannabis-based medicines like Kameshwar Modaka and understand their efficacy, contact Hempstreet and discover the right dosage and treatment regime best suited for your condition.
