Patient's question:
I can't get hard during self-stimulation, and watching porn doesn't help either. I used to have a habit of having sex, and when I was with my girlfriend, one night after taking a shower, I got hard while lying next to her, but then it went soft immediately. I felt upset and hadn't been able to get hard for a long time before falling asleep. The next day, my hardness returned to normal.Doctor, what's wrong with me? In the past, I would get hard even without stimulation during the day, but now even fantasies don't respond, and watching porn sometimes makes me lose my erection, which only increases my anxiety. How should I treat sexual dysfunction?
Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to use traditional Chinese medicine for conditioning and pay attention to rest. Consume more foods that have the effects of tonifying the kidneys and consolidating essence, such as oysters, walnuts, chestnuts, soft-shell turtle, clams, pigeon eggs, and pig kidneys. Additionally, it is suggested to wear a condom and try changing positions to male-on-top to reduce sensitivity. You can also adopt intermittent sexual activity to gradually restore function. For male patients, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene.
