Patient's question:
Due to work reasons, I often drink alcohol and have recently been feeling unwell, and have been diagnosed with sexual dysfunction. Why does alcohol cause sexual dysfunction?Doctor's answer:
People with generally poor physical health are more prone to suffer from neurasthenia. For men, a single sexual encounter is equivalent to the physical exertion of climbing four flights of stairs continuously. If a man's physical condition improves, and he is further hindered by neurasthenia, which prevents proper rest, it becomes even more difficult to complete sexual activity with sufficient energy. Many drugs used to treat neurasthenia, calm the mind, and promote deep sleep can suppress the sympathetic nervous system. It is important to actively seek professional and reputable medical treatment. Treatment should be considered based on the results of a thorough examination. Additionally, proper diet and avoiding sexual activity are recommended.
