Hyperthyroidism
is a condition where there is an overproduction of thyroid hormone
by your thyroid gland, causing the level of thyroid hormone in your
blood to be too high. An overactive thyroid gland produces excessive
hormones, which deactivates the rest of your endocrine system –
including your hypothalamus, pituitary, and your testes.
Many men with hyperthyroid problems have difficulty maintaining
erections and suffer from premature ejaculation. An overactive thyroid
gland produces excessive hormones, which deactivates your hypothalamus
and pituitary. That means your DHEA and testosterone productions
will slowdown. Thus creating a sure recipe for premature ejaculation
and general dissatisfaction with sex all together.
My Thyroid Said What?
 When
you’re dealing with a case of hyperthyroidism, many words
will be used to describe the dysfunction and its main contributors.
Most of these words will go over your head, but one important word
you’ll need to know is Acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is essential
for the parasympathetic nervous system (the middle man between the
brain and penis), which can ease the burden of premature ejaculation
and allow the person to have control over tightening their prostate
emission valve. In other words, stop the ejaculation train before
it leaves the station.
A Cure For Hyperthyroidism
If you suffer from sexual dysfunction, you first need to be sure
that your thyroid is being fully treated. This means:
Optimal Thyroid Drug Treatment
| Some people don’t
recover from sexual dysfunctions caused by hyperthyroidism from
over-the-counter drugs. In some cases, the body might react
poorly to certain medications and the problem may worsen. Usually
a doctor will switch the patient over to a drug containing triiodothyronine
(T3), such as Thyrolar or a natural thyroid drug like Armour
that includes natural forms of T4 and T3. For some people this
will help their libido return. Others do well with the addition
of Cytomel (synthetic T3) or time time released T3 to levothyroxine.

 Try
Herbal Supplements
Herbal Supplements can
help immeasurably in self-treating the problems linked
to hyperthyroidism. Here is a list of herbs that will
not only help solve the problem – instead of masking
the symptoms – but also treat the man or woman safely. |

Either way, these pharmaceutical drugs are not a cure for hyperthyroidism
or the sexual dysfunctions caused by it. These drugs merely strap
a band-aid to the symptoms – not solve the problem.
Check
Your Hormones
Whenever a man notices a reduction in his sex drive or the appearance
of a sexual problem, they should have their testosterone, DHEA,
and other androgen levels checked.
Have
a Thorough Physical
Keep in mind that a low sex drive and other sexual dysfunctions
may be a result of other non-thyroid health conditions. Diabetes
and hypertension (high blood pressure) can cause a waning libido
in both women and men. You should also discuss other prescription
drugs you are taking, because some antidepressants, tranquilizers,
and antihypertensives - as well as many illegal drugs such as cocaine
and marijuana - can reduce sex drives and cause other sexual side
effects.
Get
Testosterone Supplementation if Needed
Hyperthyroidism causes a low production of testosterone for men.
This low testosterone can cause sexual problems, but too much testosterone
can cause similar problems as well. This is why many men who turn
to testosterone supplements find they have trouble restoring lost
libidos. Testosterone is available as a pill form (some brands are
Android, Virilon, Testred, Oreton), as a transdermal patch (Testoderm,
Androderm), by injection, and sometimes as transdermal pellets implanted
under the skin. Some of these vary in the amount of testosterone
they supply the body, so make sure you figure out what is the optimum
level of testosterone for you.
