Patient's question:
It might be because my wife and I have reached the seven-year itch. It seems that even the smallest of things turns into a big problem, leading to arguments. Both of us have been in a bad mood, and, we've managed to ease up a bit. But then we try to have our "couple time," and I don't know if it's because I'm usually too stressed or under too much pressure, but I've experienced erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation again. My wife even suspects that I have some kind of issue. What should I do about sexual dysfunction caused by emotional repression?Doctor's answer:
The patient has sexual dysfunction, but a thorough examination of the genital organs shows no abnormalities, suggesting psychological factors may be involved. Psychological factors are commonly associated with sexual dysfunction. In terms of diet, it is important to consume more high-quality protein-rich foods such as lean meat, take appropriate amounts of fat, and ensure adequate intake of vitamins and trace elements. Additionally, quitting smoking and alcohol consumption, as well as engaging in regular exercise, are recommended. For male patients with sexual dysfunction, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely and symptomatic treatment, and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene.
