Patient's question:
Recently, for some unknown reason, I've been feeling very weak physically, and I've also been unable to engage in normal sexual activity. What should patients with sexual dysfunction do?Doctor's answer:
Excessive alcohol consumption can lead to sexual dysfunction, which falls under the category of excretory sexual dysfunction. In non-alcoholed men, daily alcohol intake of as little as 200 milliliters can result in reduced testosterone levels in the blood. Heavy drinking can further cause alcoholic hypogonadism in men, testicular atrophy, decreased testosterone levels, reduced libido, premature ejaculation, and ultimately infertility. Therefore, alcohol poses significant harm to male sexual function. For male patients, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications, whereas delayed treatment can affect fertility.
