Can alcohol cause sexual dysfunction?

Patient's question:

I usually enjoy drinking, and recently I've noticed a decline in my sexual function. Can alcohol cause sexual dysfunction?

Doctor's answer:

Sure, here is the translation of the provided text into English, with the exception of the line breaks which remain unchanged:
Will do, drug use. Alcohol is said to "reduce libido and sexual performance." Foreign studies have shown that the prevalence rates of erectile dysfunction among liver patients who use drugs and those who do not are 70% and 25%, respectively. Moreover, half of the people still haven't fully recovered their erectile function even after abstaining from alcohol for over ten years. For male patients, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease, but if left untreated, it can affect their physical condition. Therefore, patients should seek timely treatment for their symptoms and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
