Pakistan's national pharmaceutical industry has experienced exponential growth over the last several years. Many pharmaceutical formulation production units operate under Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) laws.
Men have specific health needs regarding reproductive health, stamina, endurance, and energy levels. Here are 10 supplements designed to enhance these areas while supporting overall wellness.
Pharmaceutical Industry
The pharmaceutical industry contributes significantly to local markets and the national GDP. Although Pakistan's pharmaceutical industry can produce advanced medications, achieving its full potential requires a clear vision and investment. Coordination must take place to facilitate qualified professionals entering training, expand manufacturing to include biological drug production lines, and anticipate how future therapies such as gene therapy or mRNA vaccines might be met locally.
Corruption remains one of the major impediments to pharmaceutical firms' exports. It causes higher consumer expenditures and strains healthcare services, which strain scarce resources; furthermore, corruption increases demand for imported medications, which puts undue pressure on foreign exchange reserves.
An additional issue related to production costs involves energy consumption. The pharmaceutical industry requires large amounts of electricity for machinery and heating and cooling operations in its facilities, further complicating production.
An official of the government noted that the 20% protective duty on imported active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) is impeding industry growth, rendering Pakistan-made pharmaceutical products uncompetitive in foreign markets where long-term contracts require reliable raw material supplies. He suggested replacing this tax with subsidies and incentives designed to support API production.
Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile Dysfunction (ED), which affects men and their sexual partners worldwide, has become an increasing global health problem. Characterized by an inability to attain and/or sustain a firm penile erection during sexual activity, ED can be caused by numerous factors, including hypertension, diabetes mellitus, heart disease, obesity, smoking, and psychological/psychiatric disorders [2].
Experienced men may encounter occasional issues with erection problems; however, persistent ones can become disruptive to both lifestyle and relationships as we age. They could also be signs of diabetes or heart disease that lead to depression and anxiety symptoms as well.
Treatment options may include oral medicines that increase blood flow to the penis and help you achieve an erection during sexual activity, such as sildenafil (Viagra), vardenafil (Levitra), tadalafil (Adcirca), and avanafil (Stendra). These typically only work when sexually aroused. Your doctor may also suggest medication inserted through either the urethra or injection directly into the penis to increase circulation, such as phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors.
There are various herbal remedies available to treat erectile dysfunction, including Kushta Qal'al. Made with all-natural ingredients and proven effective at relieving stress and relaxing muscles that contribute to erectile issues, this remedy should be discussed with your physician first, as it could interact with existing medications you're taking.
Sexual Health
Sexual health is a core element of human well-being. It encompasses the right to an enjoyable, safe sex life; reproduction; freedom to choose when to reproduce; access to contraception services for prevention of unintended pregnancy or STDs; affirming sexuality as a positive force in life and improving other dimensions of health; maintaining meaningful relationships between both genders as well as participation in society.
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the necessity of making sexual well-being an integral goal of public health. Personal losses due to illness or death, threats to family well-being, and quarantine measures imposed have all made sexual well-being an urgent topic of discussion, calling into question its place within broader societal health goals.
Various natural supplements can assist men in improving their fertility, stamina, endurance, and energy levels. But before beginning any new supplement regimes or regimens on your own, always consult your physician first - they are best equipped to advise and answer any queries regarding these new vitamins/supplements/medications/devices that might come your way.
Sexually Transmitted Diseases
Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STIs) in Pakistan represent a severe public health challenge, wreaking havoc with lives by inducing debilitating complications and infertility for those affected. Though some STIs can be prevented with condom use and safe sexual practices, it's still essential that people seek treatment when necessary, and there must be greater outreach education efforts around the prevention of STIs.
Pakistan faces several causes of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Many are related to poverty, social norms, and cultural beliefs; women especially face risk due to male-dominated cultures and low literacy rates - problems compounded by limited access to modern reproductive male health medicines in Pakistan facilities.
Conclusion
Gonorrhea and chlamydia are two of the most prevalent sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in Pakistan, both easily treatable with antibiotics. Unfortunately, however, there remains an unacceptable proportion of men who neglect treatment despite knowing their infections could pass to partners; only 3.3% understood STIs could result in severe complications. In one recent study involving 1,930 participants across 15 STI cases across four universities across Pakistan, they understood their infections could pose severe consequences.
Education and training of family physicians regarding the diagnosis and treatment of sexually transmitted infections is necessary. Counseling services must also be provided as patients must receive correct dosages of medication. Furthermore, encouraging safe sex practices versus engaging with unprotected partners is equally necessary.
