Patient's question:
With the increasing social and life pressures, men's social engagements are also growing. And drinking is inevitable. As everyone knows, excessive drinking is certainly harmful to health. Does drinking affect men's sexual function?Doctor's answer:
Drinking beer definitely interferes with a man's sexual function. When drunk, it is generally difficult to achieve an erection. The reason is that after drinking, the blood in the body flows throughout the body, especially to the surface of the skin, making it hard to concentrate in the penis, which leads to difficulty in achieving an erection. If a person frequently gets drunk, high concentrations of alcohol can damage the capillaries around the penis. As one ages, even without drinking beer, it can still lead to difficulty in achieving an erection. Men who drink excessively for a long time often experience a decline in sexual function by the age of 60, sometimes even becoming completely unable to achieve an erection due to alcohol-related damage.
