Patient's question:
When I was young, I had frequent sexual activity, sometimes two or three times a day. Recently, for the past year, I've noticed that my penis cannot get erect during sex with my wife, even if it does, it's not hard enough, and sometimes it gets soft before it can penetrate. I've seen doctors and taken many medications, but none of them have been effective. What should patients with sexual dysfunction do?Doctor's answer:
Physical therapy: Shortwave diathermy in the lumbar-sacral region, warm water baths, mineral baths, and other treatments are also available. Traditional Chinese medicine and herbal remedies have shown good effects in treating premature ejaculation, but patients are advised to persist with medication for a period of time. Some Western medications may cause loss of appetite, making them more effective for patients with accompanying symptoms such as neurasthenia, anxiety, or tension. For male patients, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications, while delayed treatment may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication and maintain a regular lifestyle in daily life.
