Brief Answer:
Please find detailed answer below
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
Inability to ejaculate may be seen in over 33% of men older than 75 years in age. This can be due to weakening of the pelvic floor muscles, whose contractions trigger an ejaculation.
Metoprolol does not usually cause dry ejaculation but decreased sexual ability has been reported infrequently.
Ways to improve your sexual health are the following:
1. Speak to your partner and include methods to make your sexual relationship more intimate.
2. Value your own pleasure. Increase in oral or manual stimulation may be needed.
3. Focus on sexual fantasies and also try erotic videos as long your partner is comfortable with it.
4. Use plenty of lubrication jelly.
5. Breathe deeply.
6. Do pelvic floor strengthening (Kegels) exercises.
Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.
Regards,
Dr.Vivek
