Patient's question:
I've been married to my husband for over ten years. Lately, when we've been intimate, I've noticed that it takes him a long time to get erect, and even when he does, it's brief and he quickly loses his erection. I thought it might be because I'm not attractive enough, but when I asked him, he said there might be a problem, and he's taken supplements, but it hasn't helped. What could be the cause of sexual dysfunction?Doctor's answer:
The abnormal sexual desire in men mainly includes three types: sexual hypoactive, sexual aversion, and hypersexuality. The causes can be psychological factors or organic abnormalities, often accompanied by other sexual dysfunctions such as impotence. Of course, factors like aging and disease influence must be ruled out. Sexual desire is regulated by hormonal levels in the body and is also influenced by surrounding environmental factors such as society and family. There is a significant individual difference in sexual desire. Even in the same person, the level of sexual desire can vary depending on age, mental state, physical health, living conditions, job nature, and marital relationships. Sexual hypoactive is often caused by mental depression, such as tense relationships between couples, encountering unpleasant events in life, problems at work, or unexpected accidents involving relatives and friends. The more direct and severe cause of sexual hypoactive is acute or chronic diseases or severe fatigue.
