Patient's question:
I've been under a lot of work pressure recently and always feel very tired. In the past few days, I've noticed some issues with my sexual function, experiencing difficulty in getting erections. What should I do about this?Doctor's answer:
There are many reasons why friends may experience decreased libido and sexual dysfunction, which can be categorized as functional or organic. Functional sexual dysfunction accounts for the majority of cases and is characterized by disturbances in cerebral cortex function. It is usually caused by abnormal sexual habits (such as sexual intercourse, excessive sexual activity) and abnormal mental states (fear, tension, fatigue). Organic sexual dysfunction is less common and is often due to spinal cord injuries that disrupt the function of the penile erection and ejaculation centers, or chronic inflammation such as urethritis, prostatitis, epididymitis, etc., as well as neuroendocrine diseases, and inflammation of the penis itself. Prostatitis is just one of the reasons.
