Can drinking alcohol lead to sexual dysfunction?

Patient's question:

My only flaw is drinking. I don't know if drinking will lead to sexual dysfunction?

Doctor's answer:

Excessive alcohol consumption can lead to sexual dysfunction, which falls under the category of excretory sexual dysfunction. In non-alcohol (alcohol) men, daily alcohol intake of as little as 200 milliliters can result in reduced testosterone levels in the blood. Excessive drinking can further cause alcoholic toxic gonadal dysfunction in men, testicular atrophy, hypogonadism, decreased libido, premature ejaculation, and ultimately infertility. Therefore, alcohol poses significant harm to male sexual function. For male patients, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely and appropriate treatment, and in daily life, they should avoid overexertion and pay attention to personal hygiene.
