Patient's question:
I just finished having a hernia surgery this month, but after the surgery I found that my sexual function isn't working anymore. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
Considering the symptoms of weak erection caused by testicular damage resulting from inguinal hernia surgery, it is a symptom induced by an increase in testosterone excretion. It is recommended to visit the urology department of a hospital for a thorough examination of the testicles through color Doppler ultrasound and sexual hormone tests to identify the cause and provide symptomatic treatment. Avoid spicy foods and sexual activity. For male patients with diseases, timely treatment can reduce the incidence. If not treated promptly, it may affect the overall health condition. Therefore, patients should take timely symptomatic treatment and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
