Women, Men, and Sleep

Studies show that many health problems experienced by men have a negative effect on their partner’s (women’s) well being and health.

More than 40% of men over age 50 suffer from an enlarged prostate and BPH with symptoms such as frequent urination at night; many men also suffer from sleep apnea that is often manifested by snoring.

Studies show that a partner’s sleep problems (such as waking up and going to the bathroom 3-4 times per night) and snoring negatively affect women’s sleep. Women can also have sleep apnea but it’s much less common in women than in men so women are disproportionately the ones suffering from their partner’s disease. What this means is that at least 50% of women are being affected by their partner’s health problems.

Sleep has a crucial role in body restoration and health. Women and men with impaired sleep are more likely to feel tired, have a less resilient immune system and have a long list of other health issues.

Yet effective treatments are available for enlarged prostate and BPH as well as for sleep apnea. One of the newest treatments for enlarged prostate, UroLift, can be done in the office and actually improves sexual satisfaction as well. Surprisingly, the treatment of one partner’s health problems can help both partners live a fuller, healthier life.

Women, Men, and Sex

Similarly, studies show that a woman’s sexual satisfaction is directly related to the men’s performance between the sheets. Such problems such as premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction (ED) are not only a man’s problem. They have a significant effect on the quality of life for man’s sexual partners. In fact, studies show that the treatment of ED in men improves the index of sexual function in their female partners. Similarly, treatment of premature ejaculation can help men last longer which can help women achieve orgasm.

In fact, studies show that ED is associated with decreased emotional well-being and poorer social function including impaired communication with spouses/partners. Treatment of ED with medications such as Viagra, Cialis or with a penile implant has been shown to improve the quality of life for both men and women (their partners).

About 15% of men are diagnosed with prostate cancer – most eventually experience sexual problems and urinary complications. That means that 15% of women are being affected by these problems. Timely treatment can benefit
both men and their partners.
