Patient's question:
23 years old, now when I think about sex, my penis doesn't get erect like it used to. I feel it's not as sensitive as before. Even during sex, it doesn't get erect. How should sexual dysfunction be treated?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of premature ejaculation requires addressing its underlying causes. First, the causative factors should be treated, and close cooperation with the partner is essential. Sensate focus training should be employed to eliminate misconceptions and guilt about sexual behavior, thereby creating and restoring natural sexual responses. During intercourse, use condoms or apply topical treatments to the glans penis. Male sexual disorders can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, medications should be used symptomatically during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid stimulating foods, and refrain from smoking and drinking beer.
