Patient's question:
A 45-year-old man feels very uncomfortable in his private area. That feeling cannot be described, and it affects his work and life significantly. He is very troubled. Can sexual apathy be treated?Doctor's answer:
Sexual activity is a form of exercise that brings high passion and mutual enjoyment to a couple. If one loses interest in sexual activity, or even develops indifference or aversion towards it, it may indicate the presence of sexual apathy. Both men and women can experience sexual apathy, but it is generally more prevalent and severe in women. The reasons for this condition typically stem from two aspects: first, the presence of certain underlying medical conditions, such as insufficient ovarian function or endocrine disorders caused by adrenal cortex dysfunction. Second, psychological factors such as inhibition, fear, or sexual incompatibility can also trigger this condition.
