Patient's question:
I usually really enjoy drinking, and I can consume a liter of baijiu a day. Because of prostate problems, I went to see a doctor, and the doctor told me that drinking too much alcohol can lead to sexual dysfunction. Is that true?Doctor's answer:
Excessive alcohol consumption can lead to sexual dysfunction, which falls under the category of excretory sexual dysfunction. In men who are not alcohol, daily alcohol intake of as little as 200 milliliters can result in a decrease in testosterone levels in the blood. Heavy drinking can further cause alcoholic toxic gonadal dysfunction in men, testicular atrophy, testosterone decline, reduced libido, premature ejaculation, and ultimately infertility. For male patients, timely treatment can help reduce the severity of the condition. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely and appropriate treatment, and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
