Patient's question:
I had an argument with my wife, and we have been living separately for two years now. But recently, I've been feeling low libido and experiencing many problems. Could long-term separation also lead to sexual dysfunction?Doctor's answer:
Long-term cohabitation without sexual activity can lead to sexual dysfunction, primarily affecting individuals who have been single for a long time and experience a lack of libido. This results in a significant accumulation of prostatic fluid. Over time, it can cause blockage of the prostatic ducts, disrupt the control of sexual nerves, leading to increased sexual function, decreased libido, and ultimately severe sexual dysfunction. Male diseases tend to be recurrent, requiring long-term medication. Additionally, male patients should seek immediate treatment at professional and reputable hospitals, and treatment should be considered based on thorough examination results. Furthermore, it is important to quit smoking and drinking, as well as maintain good personal hygiene.
