Conclusion – 

Though inherited, Thalassemia cases can be reduced through genetic awareness.

A decline in sexual desire with age is inevitable.

The reduced libido at the age of 30 years in a man is not desirable.

Low sex drive is termed as the hormone testosterone decline.

The hormone degrades by 1 percent every year after the age of 30.

However, libido is believed to rise until the age of 40.

Hormones matter, but they don’t complete the story.

It becomes important to identify the real causes and the complexities leading to sexual dysfunction.

At Aprazer Healthcare (erectile dysfunction medicine manufacturer), we are dedicated to manufacturing effective, reliable solutions to improve sexual functionality.

We manufacture a wide range of sexual dysfunction medicines-

• Erectile dysfunction medicines

Know why your sex desire is reducing, even at a young age?

Sexual desire is not purely individualistic.

It is influenced by several psychological and environmental factors.

• Overall life satisfaction
• Stress level
• Relationship status
• Health status

How does stress influence your libido?

The long-term stress influences hormones.

It increases the production of cortisol.

In turn, it reduces testosterone formation.

The stress puts the body into survival mode.

It saddens the mood.

It affects both –

Psychological and Physical sexual functioning.

Why does physical inactivity reduce libido?

The lack of physical activity increases body fat.

The excess fat increases testosterone breakdown.

The minimal physical work reduces the blood flow to the pelvis.

It declines energy levels.

An alcohol habit may affect your sex drive. How?

A small amount of alcohol initially improves sexual efficacy.

However, chronic consumption depresses the nervous system.

It slows down blood flow.

It lowers testosterone production.

It damages the nerves and blood vessels, leading to erectile dysfunction.

Other drugs that reduce sex desire-

• Stimulants can constrict blood vessels, leading to ED.
• Sedatives suppress the natural desire.
• Opioids lower testosterone production.

Can a habit of pornography reduce sexual urge?

It replaces the need for intimacy.

It desensitizes the brain (dopamine).

The highly edited visuals cause brain to habituate to novel material.

The person loses desire and satisfaction in natural ways.

The idealized bodies in porn lead to performance anxiety and higher expectations.

The practice of solo masturbation reduces the emotional connect for a partner.

The last but not least is sleep dysfunction- 

Sleep balances the body cycle.

It regulates hormones and stress.

Poor sleep drops testosterone levels and reduces blood flow.

It affects both the sexual desire and the physical arousal.

Underlying Medical Conditions – 

Various chronic illnesses directly influence sexual functioning.

• Diabetes
• Heart disease
• Thyroid dysfunction
• Depression

They cause hormonal shifts. It decreases blood flow.

Certain medications also suppress hormone secretion.

Conclusion- 

The majority of the causes of sexual decline in young people are lifestyle factors.

These can be reversed easily through proper interventions.

The components of microemulsion coating – 

It is a mixture formed by – 

• Oil phase
• Aqueous phase
• Surfactants
• Co-surfactants

The oil and the water phases are mixed.

The surfactants are added. They reduce the interfacial tension, rendering stable dispersions.

The emulsion formed consists of small nanoparticle droplets.

The drug is coated with the mixture using the spray drying technique or fluidized bed coating.

What are the advantages of microemulsion coating?

Controlled release formulation –

They encapsulate the drug within the tiny droplets.

These act as a reservoir.

The drug is released as a process of diffusion through the film coating.

It causes a slow and steady release.

Improved Bioavailability – 

The poorly soluble or unstable drugs are coated with polymers.

They are – stable, transparent, and colloidal nanoparticle dispersion.

It enhances the permeability and solubility.

Enhanced Absorption – 

The nanoparticle or the ultra-fine droplets have a larger surface area.

It increases drug absorption.

Enhanced Distribution – 

These are thermodynamically stable mixtures.

These do not form clumps or crystallize at a place.

Protection from degradation-

The coating protects the drug from enzymatic or PH degradation.

Better Patient Compliance- 

Microemulsion coating masks the taste or odor of the drug.

It improves compliance.

Increased stability/shelf –life 

These are thermodynamically stable. They do not change the phase.

It enhances stability and shelf life.

Increased Drug Load- 

It acts as a reservoir for both –

Hydrophilic /lipophilic drugs

Due to the multiphasic system, high concentrations of the drug can be incorporated.

Multi-functional formulation – 

It can incorporate multiple APIs by partitioning them between the two phases.

Scalable /cost- effective manufacturing – 

They are low-energy systems. They are cheap and faster to produce compared to nanoparticle carriers.

They are thermodynamically stable and less likely to spoil.

They have an extended shelf life.

The Therapeutic uses of microemulsion coatings-
