Patient's question:
I have a sexual dysfunction problem, specifically premature ejaculation. During sexual activity, I suddenly remember many past events, and then I lose my erection. My wife has been very critical of me and always suspects me of having someone else. This is because of an unpleasant sexual experience I had with my ex-wife. Does psychological trauma cause sexual dysfunction?Doctor's answer:
Neuroticism-induced sexual dysfunction requires attention during treatment. If the cause is identified as neuroticism, it is recommended to first treat the neuroticism rather than immediately starting treatment for the sexual dysfunction. For male patients, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the condition, whereas delayed treatment may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods, etc.
