Patient's question:
Detected male dysfunction, my wife has always stayed by my side through the treatment, but there has been no improvement together. I feel truly guilty, planning not to burden my wife if the treatment doesn't work, but I really can't let go. Please ask: At which point does the treatment for sexual dysfunction become more effective?Doctor's answer:
The causes of sexual dysfunction can be divided into functional and organic factors. Functional sexual dysfunction accounts for the majority, characterized by disturbances in cerebral cortex function, usually caused by abnormal sexual habits (e.g., sexual intercourse, excessive sexual activity) and abnormal mental states (e.g., fear, tension, fatigue). Organic sexual dysfunction is less common, often resulting from spinal cord injuries leading to dysfunction in the erectile and ejaculation centers, or chronic inflammation such as urethritis, prostatitis, epididymitis, etc., as well as neuroendocrine diseases, and inflammation of the penis itself.
