Patient's question:
Male, 25 years old, I usually like to drink alcohol. Now, when I gradually engage in with my wife, she is always unsatisfied. My friends always say it's related to my drinking. Please ask: Why does sexual function decline after drinking?Doctor's answer:
Because excessive long-term alcohol consumption can lead to an increase in sexual function. According to experiments by foreign scholars, among chronic alcoholics, the rate of recurring testicular atrophy is as high as 65%; the rate of benign prostatic hyperplasia is 58%; the rate of premature ejaculation is 17% to 38%; and the rate of decreased libido is 34% to 65%. This is because alcohol harms the testicles, which excrete male hormones, causing a significant increase in male hormones in the body. Sexual function is regulated by the central nervous system. It is recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle, avoid staying up late, and base your diet on light and simple food. Appropriate exercise is also beneficial for sexual function.
