Patient's question:
I am a 25-year-old male, married for ten years, and have always had a problem with sexual apathy. This has caused many arguments with my partner. What can I do about my sexual apathy?Doctor's answer:
Diseases of the genital organs: The genital organs can secrete androgens, which stimulate sexual desire. After sexual desire is stimulated, the secretion of androgens decreases, and sexual desire is reduced.Neurological and psychiatric diseases: Sexual desire is regulated by the nervous system. If the nervous system becomes diseased, interest in sexual life may be lost, leading to sexual apathy.
Endocrine system diseases: Human sexual desire is closely related to the endocrine system. Various hormones secreted by the endocrine system can regulate sexual function. When the endocrine system becomes diseased, the secretion of sex hormones decreases, and sexual desire may decline, even resulting in sexual apathy.
Excessive physical fatigue: Irregular living habits, failure to maintain a regular sleep schedule, and overly intense work can lead to excessive physical fatigue.
